@vwbusguy though, the way of brewing the coffee is not always the same.
starbucks being everywhere led to average coffee (Americano) being ubiquitous :-s

@gbraad American coffee is called Filter Coffee in Germany (or "drip brew" as we would call it). The Americano was an Italian invention to mimic drip brew for American tourists by watering down espresso. The hotel I'm at in Berlin offers both Americano and "Filter Coffee" in addition to espresso.
But the coffee in the room is instant 🥴

@vwbusguy right... and this became the most common method.
Drip became 'hot' again in recent years due to the V60.
I prefer Moka pot; mostly use Lavazza, Illy and some of the Peet blends like Papua New Guinea or Brazillian.
Instant does not have to be bad... but often it is a darker brew; yuck.

@gbraad I use a Moka pot at home as well as a French press and Bodum's version of a Chemex. Most coffee served in a restaurant, gas station, etc in America is going to be drip brew, but this is a significant improvement over the way we used to do it - percolators.

@vwbusguy I disliked the French press for always having some residue seep in. always had to filter it somehow. the press I had was from Ikea. Not bad, but not a recommendation.

@gbraad I have two Bodum Chambord French presses that I've had for decades and they've been reliable and easy to clean for me. I haven't looked recently but I image that they'll be a different price point than an IKEA one, but probably worth it for something you might use often.
