Dumb question about what coffee to ask for!

[Nomy]

I'm so sorry for this basic dumb question, but my stomach is no fan of milky cappuccinos or Latte's etc which I've only just realised! Just a good old fashioned coffee with a dash of milk or cream will do me nicely thankyou. I've never known what to ask for, so struggled on with the more milky coffees.

As a mainly tea drinker, I'm baffled by the types of coffee there are But I must admit to needing a coffee fix in the morning to get a hectic Orlando day off to a good start, but don't want to embarrass myself

Thanks.

Just ask for a coffee. They mainly serve it black and you can add creamer to it yourself.
I have found that most creamers are dairy free, however the coffee in the states (Denny's Ihop, Joffreys) all seem to be a lot sweeter than the stuff you would get here if you ordered a filter coffee, so i rarely add any creamer.

I just ask for coffee with room, that leaves a little at the top to put milk or cream in.

I ask for an americano with a dash of milk in Costa, they then usually ask if I want filter coffee or espresso with hot water.

I refuse to buy these expensive concoctions that coffee shops etc sell.
I like coffee to taste of coffee and nothing else! Plus I want it hot.

In America I have only ever asked for coffee for the last 43 years as I will only drink it black. Never have I been given anything other than black coffee and that suits me fine.

For those who want milk or creamer it will be on the counter or table.

As an aside I find Americans serve much nicer tasting coffee than we tend to get here. Maybe more Costa Rican and S. American maybe?

If you just want a ‘regular’ filter coffee just ask for a white Americano.

I’ve never thought about it and always ask for coffee at breakfast. There’s always room for milk/creamer and always one or other on the table. If I want a latte I’ll ask for a latte but generally don’t bother as plain old coffee is fine.

In my experience the coffee served in Florida is generally awful and I would always recommend going to a branded coffee house for a decent coffee.

Go to Dunkin Donuts, get coffee, thank me later

(you should really try a Dunkaccino, even if it's luscious milkiness will make you ill - its worth it!)

Ha ha. This is where we all differ, and rightly so. Are you saying all coffee is awful apart from Starbucks etc etc?

As an aside I detest Starbucks etc. Best coffee is from Denny's!
