Europeans don't tolerate shit cheap robusto coffee. The brown sour water Americans drink is the typical quantity over quality model.
You know that America basically invented modern coffee culture that exists everywhere else now, right? We're well beyond truck stop diner coffee.
Hell, even Mr Coffee was a great improvement for its time.
Edit: the next European who posts "you need to learn about other countries" while also thinking Starbucks is the only thing the US does for coffee gets . . . I dunno, maybe a gif of a cat falling off a fence.
Lol whut? Espresso, Cappuccino and Latte macchiato are Italian,
Drip filter coffee was invented in Germany as well as decaf Cold brew is Duch/Japanese Boiled Coffee is from the Middle East/North Africa Irish Coffee is from Ireland, but similar drinks are known with different names and different spirits at leas in France and Germany. The French Press is from France, first patented by an Italian
Instant Coffee from New Zealand Frappé is from Greece Iced coffee is from Algeria
You Americans might have invented abominations like Starbucks, but that's not coffee culture worldwide. Noone I know drinks that stuff. There are somewhere around 100,000 and coffee bars in Italy alone, 31 of which are Starbucks built for American tourists. (Maybe it's 35 by now). There are 10 times more traditional Cafés in Berlin alone, than Starbucks in all of Germany.
Starbucks is an abomination. They tried to launch in Australia in the 2000s and ended up losing loads of money and closing most of their stores.
They couldn't compete with even our worst chain stores let alone our endless individual coffee shops.
