    Or Perc. Black coffee could mean perc. But that really only happens in places that still think it’s the 50’s.

    (No judgement. Those diners are amazing, and better coffee than fartbucks.)

      I’ve never come across a place that uses a perc and doesnt burn their coffee, so honestly I find Starbucks better on that alone

      But the shitty espresso I can pull on my mr coffee beats both by miles

        But Starbucks coffee is also burned, but more because the beans are roasted too hard (which makes sense if you’re going to pour one espresso into a pint of milk, but it sucks if you drink it without milk).

          The coffee isn’t burned (at least if you order espresso), the beans are, but the beans at the place using the percolator is also using cheap, burnt beans AND burning the coffee with a percolator

          Neither is close to ideal coffee, but for me one is far worse

        That’s an inherent flaw of the classic US percolators, where the coffee drips back down into the boiling water. It’s near impossible to not burn st least some of the coffee. Even basic filter coffee is usually better.

      I think cowboy coffee can also be referred to as just black. But nobody in their right minds drinks that anymore.

        My in-law makes cowboy coffee in a great big kettle on the stove when all the kids arrive for the holidays and it’s actually some of the best coffee I’ve ever had. What trips me out is that he drinks crappy pod coffee the rest of the year.
