No such thing, unless you're also including Maxwell House and Folgers and their ilk. In that case I would not say American style, but the 'almost tasteless' style.

Kinda like bottled ice tea when compared to fresh from the leaves tea.

Or Bud light.
Well, when you say Budweiser, you've said too much. (This might be an obscure cultural reference for the younger crowd.)

But of course I'm including Maxwell House and Folgers - and Eight O'Clock and Chock-Full-o-Nuts. All perfectly good American style coffees. Been around as long as I can remember, which means since the 50s, and longer. Not "tasteless" when properly prepared. Usually based on the Columbian bean. There is very little more satisfying than a cup of this kind of coffee after a nice, carb-rich American style meal.

You probably don't understand martinis, either. (Hint - they don't involve vodka.)

Oh...try Honest Tea. In the bottle.

What is the American style? Is it coffee made with water? Or is it a style of roast?

Some drink $7 to $8 dollar coffee while reading a book on their Macs.

I am with the group that spends 50 cents for equally good coffee at McDonalds and read my books on my HP mini.

Life is good!

I spend $1.50 drinking tasty coffee at Starbucks while using my company issued laptop or my steal of a deal $60 Android tablet from Kohls. Life is great!

Hmmm. What else would coffee be made with? Milk? Brandy? Well, sometimes I add brandy, but it has not previously occurred to me to substitute it for water...

Light to medium roast, Columbian bean. No dark roast. Maybe some other beans - in fact, probably a mixed bag of beans, depending on what's available.

Not to be confused with that vile concoction, the "Americano."

Yes, but it will be just in time for summer - iced coffee, anyone?

That is SO politically correct! Reach into that dark space in your soul and tell us what you find!

Whoops, I agree absolutely... people are too quick to assign (usually derogatory) group labels...
