    Drip coffee just doesn't do it for me, luckly the melting pot has provided that Italian influence and you can get an espresso.

    tallgrass,

    We drink our tea hot, iced tea is not the norm.

    as for coffee i am an espresso fan, i also like the french press. cold brew coffee is amazing when done right and easy. As for tea i like sun brewed iced tea, what is called thai iced tea. though i have to agree, having lived in England for a while and having visited Australia several times, your our tea sucks in comparison.

    Amazing isn't it - you can get Lipton tea in both continents and I would rather drink instant coffee than US Lipton tea.

    err ummm , well maybe not I'd rather drink water!

    I guess you're not well read in American history! You know the mayflower and Plymouth Rock etc. The colonies in the North East of the Nth American continent were mainly from England. The whole American War of Independence (or rebellion depending of your perspective) was over being an English colony and paying taxes to the English crown. It was a rejection of the taxation on tea that was the stimulus for the Boston Tea party. The cry of the colonies was no taxation without representation. When England would not negotiate the issue and sent the Military instead, then came the Colonial Army, George Washington and the rest is history.

    From all that we can surmise the American preference against tea.

    We won't get into the South and Central American history because that get's all tangled up with the Spanish, Portuguese and French.
