What I want to know is, where do the average American restaurants get their coffee from, because it taste like crap. Mind you, you can have as much as you want for no extra charge, Refills are free.!! I must say, I do enjoy the coffee here in Switzerland. They don't have a free refill though. Even the home coffee machine makes fine one.

LOL
oh my that is so true - the coffee there is crap
their idea of good coffee is starbucks!!

Starbucks had to upgrade its blend to come to Australia and people still think it sux!!!!
we have gorgeous coffee in Australia - so many great cafes!
there is one Italian one I go to that serves over 1000 coffees a day!!!
well Cyprus never knew how to make proper capps when i first visited
they'd always add whipped cream to it blah!!!

its about $3.00 for a small cappucino here.....

I think I can help you with that since my husband was a General Manager of a restaurant for a while. They take the coffee machine coffee-the cheapest brand(restaurant blend) thats already kinda weak and nasty and they put less than they should cause they think they are saving a bunch of money. Then they serve it to you and it tastes like crap...

Yes, that's pretty much what I expected. One time a young waitress comes to my table and says, "would you like to have more coffee sir" in their usual nice way, so I said "yes please". She had a coffee glass pot in one hand and a tea glass pot on the other, but she couldn't tell the difference, because both looked the same, in which the "light" would pass through the black liquid in the pots.

All chain restaurants as well as fast food places serve bad coffee. Starbucks is actually good, but most Americans complain, that Starbucks coffee is too strong, in which I want to scream real loud. But Americans give the best service in restaurants including fast food places, anywhere in the world. They also serve the worst coffee, anywhere in the world.

7-11 used to serve half-decent coffee (if you caught it fresh). Then they blended the Columbian stuff with God-knows what and it tastes like crap now.

At least you can weaken strong coffee with water. There's nothing you can do for weak coffee.
