It’s Drip Coffee, not Black Coffee. You have two plain options: drip or espresso. They are both black (eventually). All coffee is black.
The baristas are giving weird looks because the customer made a weird order.
- goosedragons 4y agoDepends where you go. At Tim Hortons for example you say "Black Coffee" and that translates instantly to "Black light roast non-decaf drip coffee" even though now they can do a black dark roast or a black decaf or a black Americano or whatever. The base assumption for "coffee" in North America is drip. I'm curious now how often you heard "black coffee" and the customer actually wanted a black espresso or black Americano?
