Mexican coffee with cinnamon

Does anyone know how Mexican coffee with cinnamon is usually prepared? I'm referring to the house-style coffee that is often found at Mexican places serving breakfast. Is the cinnamon true cinnamon or Indonesian cinnamon? Is there a particular brand of coffee that is favored when pairing with cinnamon?

Try this from Rick Bayless.

Recipe from Season 6 Mexico - One Plate at a Time




--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ingredients
Spiced Sugar Syrup
4 1/2 ounces (roughly 1/2 9-ounce cones) piloncillo, roughly chopped,

Directions

Put a kettle of water on to boil. In a medium (3-quart) saucepan combine the ingredients for the spiced sugar syrup along with 1 cups water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Let steep at least 10 minutes.

Pour through a strainer into a 48-ounce (8 cup) press pot (aka French press pot). Top with the coffee, then fill 3/4 full with boiling water. Allow to steep 5 minutes before pressing the filter down. Serve right away.
