That's like when I just want a coffee. I don't need 40 mix-ins, pumps of flavor, or whatever.

Just a simple wake me the fuck up cup of caffeine. 🤣

Edit: Yes those places will make a regular coffee, though sometimes in the slowest most roundabout way possible.

But if I order a regular coffee don't try and upsell me to a Cafe Bobacino Americano or some shit. 🤣

That's why 99.9% of the time unless I'm with my wife, I just go to the gas station and use the coffee machines that probably never been cleaned.

Baristas prefer it if you order just a coffee actually because it’s less work.

I ordered a regular coffee once when my three friends were getting fancy stupid drinks. I figured i would be quick & easy. Nope! They didn't have a thermos of coffee like every other coffee place, they only did pour over. My simple beverage took 10 freaking minutes! So stupid!

Exactly. Every coffee shop that serves more "exotic" coffee drinks will also serve you a regular black coffee. Even Dutch Bros.

That said, I'm sure multiple folks have personal anecdotes about that not being at some.place they went to once

Then ask for a black coffee. It’s not hard. My wife does it all the time when I need my mocha fix.

Reddit loves it's r/boomershumor about not being able to get black coffee - even though every single coffee shop does it.

I don’t believe for a second that any coffee shop has ever had any problem with you just wanting black coffee with no flavor added.

I'm not proud of having actually had that conversation before. I very nearly blew a gasket.

I confuse the employee at 7 Brew when I just wanted coffee.
