Sorry to disappoint you bad manners, but there is not "just one" coffee or type of coffee served in American homes. If you didn't like the coffee you were served you should have driven to one of the many coffee specialty stands or cafes and bought what you wanted. Or you could have gone to the local department store or gourmet cooking store and bought the machine that would brew what you wanted and make the coffee yourself. Don't know where to find your favorite ingredients? Get on the phone (or web) and look up thousands of stores where you can buy exactly what you want. No stores in your area? Buy online and have it sent to you next day express.
