- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).

But black coffee and espresso are two completely different things. Are you suggesting instead they get an Americano?
No, you can easily take espresso-based beverages "black", too. Or rather, you can easily make them not-black by adding milk, which is pretty common for americanos.
Sure, but then you’re taking it in small cup form rather than as a larger volume drink. That still makes them two very different things.
If I want a nice, large margarita, telling me I can have a couple shots of tequila misses the point. Nothing against tequila, but a mixed drink and a shot are different enough that one is not a substitute for another.
Same with espresso. Americano is much closer in form factor to a latte than straight espresso. And more to my post’s point, most times when people say black coffee they mean drip.
The americanos I've had were about the same volume as a regular filter coffee. And even if there was a difference in volume, it wouldn't matter - "black" vs "with milk" only refers to whether you add any amount of milk.
Filter coffee. Only way to have it.
I'll go as far as Turkish coffee, but Americano doesn't taste good at all.
Yeah the americano is an example of what our people had to put up with saving Europe from itself.
In a few years I imagine y'all'll get a European style coffee which is just reduced pour over and you'll hate that like nobody's business, but you dealt with it to save some Canadian bacon
