Here’s my “black coffee” this morning.
Double infuriating: everytime I tell people that “baristas” and coffee people can’t comprehend the concept of black coffee, I get back talk. Here’s the first coffee I’ve ordered in 10 years because of this persistent problem, guess what, they lived up to the complaint… they can’t formulate the concept of black coffee in their own mind.


I have never once had a problem with “coffee, black”. Doing more would require extra work, you’re telling me someone went out of their way to put a little cream on your coffee?
At most you were perhaps given the wrong order.
