      Most of our coffee is drip. Sometimes cold brew. Espesso, cappuccino, Turkish, press, etc…we don’t do that much. Fancy coffee, sure, but not our “it’s Monday and I can’t even” coffee. Or our “it’s Tuesday and I can’t even” coffee, or so on.

      Fast service shops and such will have “cappuccino” or “espresso” but I think it’s either concentrate or it’s just not the same.

      We do have a serious unspoken caffeine addiction though. It comes from our Protestant work ethic while having our wallets bled dry. We end up with hustle culture and a stimulant addiction. Hooray!

      Never buy coffee in the states if you’re from nz/aus or Europe. You WILL be disappointed.

        We do have different types of coffee, but you might have to go to a specialty shop to get it like you do at home. If you’re talking about regular restaurants it’s probably good advice.

          So are americans fat and lazy, or always busy and hyper work oriented? I’m losing track of the stereotypes here.

            Interestingly, both. Americans are hyper work oriented because, you know, we’ve been trained since birth that if you don’t work, you’re going to suffer and die (and that’s partially true, yay barely affording apartments and food), but when we get off of work, we’re not going to work out, invest time in anything but watching the latest Hupeaflix show, and maybe brush our teeth before bed. Food comes out of a bag or box in the freezer, or maybe delivered with the expectation of a tip or your food gets there late, bitch.
