That's me, wearing my red jacket and enjoying a delicious made-to-order pizza with @payn, @Snarf Zagyg, and a few other ENWorld members. And @Zardnaar is the android laughing in the background.

...That's my reaction about USA coffee or chocolate.

How do you view U.S. coffee, out of curiosity?
I say this as an American, born and raised:Coffee flavored water that tastes bleah.
Economists should just officially redesignate our economic system as a "1d4opoly".it's always the same 1d4 food brands, fighting with each other over who is The BestTM when they are all largely identical.

100% agree.
The trouble with American coffee (and American food, in general) is that so much of it is heavily processed and mass-produced. Most large-scale American companies prioritize profit and shelf-stability over freshness, flavor, and nutrition. And it's not like they have a choice in the matter, either; once a company reaches a certain level of success they have to make cuts in order to keep their profit margins (and shareholders!) happy. If they don't, their shareholders leave and they go under. (Score one for the Free Market, I guess.)
American coffee, American beer, American burgers, American Anything--it's always the same 1d4 food brands, fighting with each other over who is The BestTM when they are all largely identical. Identical in quality, identical in cost, identical in ingredients, identical in flavor.
So in my not-humble opinion, if you want to sample the "good" American foods and beverages, avoid those large mass-produced brands. You'll have better luck with our smaller, local coffee roasters and microbrewers.
