Is it? I’m not the one downvoting here, I’m just not convinced. There’s still a lot of folks drinking drip coffee at home or at greasy spoon joints every day. Starbucks and the like is loudly popular but tons of folks still use the old drip machines or (ugh) cup/pod systems.
Yes but the topic is about restaurant drink sizes, not what people drink at home. In my experience I see people order fancy coffees more often than plain ones when I go out to eat. Regardless it doesn’t matter that much, cause it’s all anecdotal anyway.
That last sentence is the one. Until someone comes out with a study we’re not going to know because what we see is informed by where we choose to go. I’m not generally in places where you can buy fancy coffee so I don’t see it, but I sure hear about it. If we’re only going by what I see then hardly anyone drinks coffee and people order green tea shots at an alarming rate.
Yeah, I’m certain you’re right. It isn’t more popular. It’s more popular if you’re going out to a café, but most people are drinking drip coffee made at home. I would bet a lot of it still has that super sweet flavored “creamer” crap added though.
Most people think plain coffee tastes like the burnt shit sold at Starbucks. They’ve never tasted what coffee actually tastes like, so they buy cheap dark roast coffee and add a bunch of sugar to it because they bought the most bitter thing you can get.
You’re definitely not wrong there. There’s good coffee here but you’ve got to go out of your way to get it. I’ll have it from time to time, but I’m not a huge coffee drinker. I’m an unsweet tea guy. You know, or bourbon. I was inoculated by institutional government coffee years ago so nothing phases me.
I’m talking about that Starbucks/Dutch Bros. shit that all the white girls drink. It’s more popular than plain coffee in the US.

You ugh the old drip machine but not the cup/pod system? How dare! Kcups are an abomination and a symptom of everything wrong with this world!
A good drip machine is fine. Not great, but acceptable.

Go to any dinner or breakfast restaurant and you’ll see the opposite.
When people “go to get coffee” they go to a café and likely get something more involved than drip coffee.
When they go to get breakfast and order a coffee it’s likely just regular drip and has free refills

starbucks has no coffee. just some sugared fluid on which they insist it must be mixed with milk, one way or the other
