Edit: pu'er, black, green, white tea. Love it all and drink it more than I drink coffee. No need to start a culture war; taste is as individual as humour.

Coffee in the US (outside of specialty shops) is always piss poor and IME thin cups of dark-ish water without much actual coffee flavour.

That's the case everywhere. Starbucks is ubiquitous. You can either complain about it, or walk across the street and get some good coffee, which is also ubiquitous.

That's not my experience at all..."Cafeteria coffee", or diner drip-coffee if you will, in the US is always thin watery coffee compared to the same type anywhere else I've been (mostly limited European countries though).

First thing I do after moving is locate the spots with the good coffee. I've never run into trouble and I typically find several spots.

But if I want a cup of coffee I typically brew it myself and I use beans from local roasters. If you're in the middle of nowhere with no roasters around, SWroaster out of Indiana delivers anywhere in the US.
