While Designweenie has his own problems about getting a decent cup of tea, I’m still wondering what happened to the notion of “coffee, regular?” That is to say – a cup containing hot coffee, half and half and sugar. Not to be confused with

• decaf, regular
• coffee, black
• coffee, light, sweet
• coffee, black, two sugar
• double grande mocha half decaf with skim and cinnamon

I think I’ve said before that the main problem is that the servers of coffee, in regular coffee-serving establishments are too often non-coffee drinkers. And badly educated in their product at that.

All right now, repeat after me – there is coffee and then there is decaf. It is not “regular coffee” and “decaf coffee.” And finally, your “regular coffee” notion is not my correct connotation of “coffee, regular.” Now go get me a coffee, regular and be quick about it.
