Nah, it’s not just murica. Here in Germany for example, if you order a cup of coffee you usually get filter coffee. If you want espresso, you have to order espresso.
But Starbucks coffee is also burned, but more because the beans are roasted too hard (which makes sense if you’re going to pour one espresso into a pint of milk, but it sucks if you drink it without milk).
The coffee isn’t burned (at least if you order espresso), the beans are, but the beans at the place using the percolator is also using cheap, burnt beans AND burning the coffee with a percolator
Neither is close to ideal coffee, but for me one is far worse
That’s an inherent flaw of the classic US percolators, where the coffee drips back down into the boiling water. It’s near impossible to not burn st least some of the coffee. Even basic filter coffee is usually better.
My in-law makes cowboy coffee in a great big kettle on the stove when all the kids arrive for the holidays and it’s actually some of the best coffee I’ve ever had. What trips me out is that he drinks crappy pod coffee the rest of the year.
…an espresso?
Espresso != A regular black coffee. Espresso is way more concentrated, and is brewed using pressure. Regular black coffee implies the drip method.
for the rest of the world normal is espresso and the thing with drip or wtv doesn’t even exist.

in france “un café” is an espresso.
if i was served a “filter coffee” somewhere, i would never go back there. Who serves filter coffee ffs!
Its also not true in the US. At least not anywhere I’ve lived or traveled to.
That’s not true in most of northern, central or eastern europe, and arab coffee drinkers traditionally use neither.
Or Perc. Black coffee could mean perc. But that really only happens in places that still think it’s the 50’s.
(No judgement. Those diners are amazing, and better coffee than fartbucks.)
I’ve never come across a place that uses a perc and doesnt burn their coffee, so honestly I find Starbucks better on that alone
But the shitty espresso I can pull on my mr coffee beats both by miles

Espresso doesn’t refer to the strength of the coffee, only that it’s brewed under pressure.
I think cowboy coffee can also be referred to as just black. But nobody in their right minds drinks that anymore.

Campers sometimes,
