Coffee without milk or cream.
خلفية ثقافية
In Hungary, if you order a 'fekete kávé', you will almost always get a small espresso. If you want a large mug of filtered coffee, you might be disappointed unless you go to a modern 'specialty' shop. Historically, coffee houses were 'offices' for writers. They would spend all day there with one or two black coffees. This is why many cafes still have a very relaxed atmosphere regarding how long you stay. It is considered slightly rude not to offer coffee to a guest in a Hungarian home. Even if they don't have a fancy machine, they will likely make 'kotyogós' (stovetop) black coffee. The idiom 'Hátra van még a fekete leves' (The black soup is yet to come) refers to the Turkish custom of serving coffee at the end of a meal, which became a metaphor for bad news following a good period.
Ordering shorthand
In a busy cafe, just say 'Egy feketét kérek' (One black [one] please). It's faster and very natural.
The Accusative '-t'
Don't forget the '-t' when ordering! 'Fekete kávé' is the subject, 'Fekete kávét' is what you want.

Water on the side
If your black coffee comes with a tiny glass of water, it's not for the coffee—it's to cleanse your palate before and after drinking.
Sugar levels
If you want it black but sweet, say 'Fekete kávét két cukorral' (Black coffee with two sugars).
