Imagine you're being downvoted for the watery stuff from the USA part. Careful, you're offending those who take their coffee seriously. I prefer German or Italian, personally. Coffee in France is too bitter. Something happens (even to Italian coffee) as it crosses the channel into the UK that sucks the taste out of it, and puts it into tea. I consider standard-fare American coffee a torture technique. Worst coffee I ever experienced was in Israel. But all of these are my personal taste. Opinions will differ as much as there are stars in the sky, grains of sand on the beach. And every opinion is correct, and valid. Because while some of us are similar, none of us are the same. If you're going to inadvertently dis' someone else's choice, make your intent known - i.e. point out that it's just your opinion. Don't give it that superiority-stance.

  If the drip coffee coming out of the US these days (think: Blue Bottle) is "watery" then I'll take it with extra water, thanks. Just got a Blue Bottle down the road here in Tokyo, and if you can get over the 450 yen pricetag and 90 minute lineup then you are rewarded with a delicious cup of Joe.

3 cups of espresso would be a fantastic amount of coffee. You'd actually have a medical condition of you drank that much espresso every day: ~64 mg caffeine / ounce in espresso 64 mg/ounce * 8 ounces * 3 = 1536 mg From wikipedia: "Consumption of 1000–1500 mg per day is associated with a condition known as caffeinism."

  I imagine when most people say 'a cup of espresso' they're thinking of a demitasse of the stuff, not using '1 cup' in the unit-of-volume sense (which'd be an ~octuple espresso)

  Cut with a top shelf rum to counteract this condition. Mt Gay Black Barrel, Goslings, or Zaya to suggest a few.

  "Three cups of espresso" means "three times 25-30 ml fluid (1 ounce)", not "three large 8 ounce-cups that you fill with espresso-strength coffee". So, three espressi remains below 200 mg caffiene.

Surprising fact: a normal cup of drip coffee (8 oz) typically contains more caffeine than a normal cup of espresso (1 oz). For example, see http://coffeechemistry.com/caffeine/caffeine-content-in-espresso-vs-drip-coffee1.html http://coffeechemistry.com/caffeine/caffeine-content-in-espr...
