I think it was more of a diss on the quality of the coffee in places with free refills.
I’m a bit of a coffee snob and nothing will beat my locally-roasted specialty coffee in my pour-over, but sometimes shitty diner coffee is what I want.
Is it? I’m not the one downvoting here, I’m just not convinced. There’s still a lot of folks drinking drip coffee at home or at greasy spoon joints every day. Starbucks and the like is loudly popular but tons of folks still use the old drip machines or (ugh) cup/pod systems.
Yes but the topic is about restaurant drink sizes, not what people drink at home. In my experience I see people order fancy coffees more often than plain ones when I go out to eat. Regardless it doesn’t matter that much, cause it’s all anecdotal anyway.
That last sentence is the one. Until someone comes out with a study we’re not going to know because what we see is informed by where we choose to go. I’m not generally in places where you can buy fancy coffee so I don’t see it, but I sure hear about it. If we’re only going by what I see then hardly anyone drinks coffee and people order green tea shots at an alarming rate.
And it comes with free refills
Free dishwater refills.
Tapwater, you don’t need to make shit up when shitting on the USA

I have the same relationship with Little Caesars, sometimes you just want trash food and it’s all that will satisfy the craving
No not with coffee. Unless it’s just plain coffee with milk/cream and sugar, only fountain drinks and tea get free refills.
Isn’t that…coffee?
The average american coffee is like 600 calories and has 20mg of caffeine
But 200g of sugar!
I’m talking about that Starbucks/Dutch Bros. shit that all the white girls drink. It’s more popular than plain coffee in the US.

Go to any dinner or breakfast restaurant and you’ll see the opposite.
When people “go to get coffee” they go to a café and likely get something more involved than drip coffee.
When they go to get breakfast and order a coffee it’s likely just regular drip and has free refills
You ugh the old drip machine but not the cup/pod system? How dare! Kcups are an abomination and a symptom of everything wrong with this world!
A good drip machine is fine. Not great, but acceptable.
The (ugh) is on the cup/pod side of the or.
Oh! I apologize for my misreading of your comment, and thank you for the clarification.
Not my comment ;)
