how many different words for "rain" they have in Seattle.

With that many ways to describe coffee, it has to be about a
bizillion.

Years ago, I narrowly escaped getting lynched in Seattle...
I went to a couple of different shops & street vendors
trying to buy a cup of coffee, and finally in exasperation
said out loud "All I want is a PLAIN CUP OF COFFEE!"

Times have changed, and most of the coffee snobs are out of business.
Anybody with the facilties to brew traditional coffee does so these
days.
The local Starbucks told me that drip coffee is their number one
seller.

I once ordered a cup of coffee and the barista replied, "I can make you
an Americano...."

"Too late. I was born an Americano. Right now I just want a cup of
coffee."
