I mean, you go in and ask for coffee, the barista is going to assume you mean drip. They might ask if you want a light or dark roast. They’re not going to ask you to pick from 37 different beans, then ask whether you want it a light roast, dark roast or decaff, then ask how you want it brewed (steam pressed, drip, pour over. cold brewed. french. perc. cowboy. Turkish. Greek.) then ask how hot you want it (warm. hot, HOT HOT, cold. Frozen.); how strong do you want it, do you want cream (Soy, oat, half/half, full cream, milk. Goat milk. Almond. butter.) how much cream. Sweetener (Sugar, honey, raw sugar. corn syrup… i think you see my point?)
A good barista knows when not to ask, as much as when and what to ask.
though it’s almost blasphemous they didn’t conjure up a grilled cheese to go with it.
