Yeah the US is getting better than it was before starbucks arrived. I think the shock for aussies was the proliferation of piss weak drip coffee whereas as we basically drink european style pressed. Our coffee of choice is also a flat white, a quite strong style, double shot.
Things are better her now, cafe down the street from me does a flat white for example whereas when i got here 15 years ago i literally had to walk them through how to make one.
