A question about coffee in the USA.
TV would have us believe its coffee that’s pre-brewed and sits in a pot and served as required.
Is that accurate or do you get barista coffee made fresh with all the variations we have here.
I’d assume if cafes, etc served bottomless coffee its going to be cheap stuff

There is both. The brewed pot is more common in most restaurants, diners etc. Starbucks is widespread and the coffee is sort of okay. I had to request a double shot to make up for the strength and get the milk temp lower, as they tend to overheat the milk.
Some great cafés popped up around Cruces, serving great local beans.
Like most things American, added flavours are the big thing. Syrups, creamery. Also whipped cream stuff and sprinkles.

Thanks
Apparently we are quite lucky in Australia for our decent coffee

Plenty of Youtube videos made by people who’ve moved here from OS, or passing through, who are amazed at the quality of Australian coffee.
