Well, you are still technically "asking USA" :)
Although to counter your Europeans statement, I hear the Swedes are absolute coffee fiends.
Yup.
And your answer is related to topics that interest people in the USA!! ๐
I've always heard how Europeans like to talk about people in the USA who like their coffee. TIL otherwise - I guess Turkish coffee is a thing as well. Now I suppose there needs to be an AskEurope...?
The British are well known for their love of tea, but AFAIK most of the rest of Europe drinks mostly coffee, in one form or another. Usually very different than your usual diner's pitcher of endless refills though.
Just for the sake of clarity, I am originally European, but currently live in Canada, where I developed my love for espresso. So take everything I say with a grain of salt.
And I am from the USA, so my responses should have even more sugar, plus the salt too (/s - though American foods are extremely heavily sugared and salty, that's just a fact!:-P).
Do you know then why the British make fun of Americans for liking coffee, rather than making fun of like Europeans for doing the same? It might be if USA coffee is "weaker" than e.g. French coffee - I could see that.
I believe the main difference is the amount of coffee consumed, but I suspect the main culprit is the fact that Brits love to criticize the US (as does most of the world, tbh).
I mean that's fine (and understandable), though with so much to choose from, at least pick something that makes sense! (Like metric system, healthcare, time-off especially after pregnancies, etc.)
We do like our coffee though, that's a fact. โ
