  What fresh hell… Yeah I’m in the US, where coffee flows from the taps, our plants are fertilized with coffee grounds. We may live in a dystopian nightmare police state, but we have *coffee *

  Until it goes extinct. But for now we have coffee.

    Before I visited the us myself I didn’t know about the obsession with coffee y’all have. I mean coffee is also very important in Germany but I think you have us beat.

      I feel like it should be clarified that if you’re ordering an actual coffee drink (espresso base) it’s not going to have free refills.

      Plain old drip coffee though? Super cheap everywhere, actually the cheapest thing you can buy at a lot of convenience stores.

        Well the default here is that you pay even for water at a restaurant or similar…

      WE’RE NUMBER 1 WE’RE NUMBER 1

      to be fair most Americans are drinking milkshakes branded as coffee with a single shot of the worst coffee you’ll ever have just to keep the label accurate. If you go to any random coffee place and expect the drip coffee to be good you’ll be disappointed.

      But! If you go to a diner where the benches are sticky, they have a thousand little coffee cups from years of collecting, no two the same, and the waitress calls you ‘hun,’ you’re in for the best cuppa joe you’ll ever have.
