As a coffee addict I love my brewed coffee every morning. Unfortunately when traveling the only place to get a good quality brewed coffee (Cafe Filtre) is often either Starbucks or McD's.
I used to travel with a small coffee maker-but that is a PIA for foreign travel
I do enjoy espresso and espresso drinks (no flavorings) both at home (I have a very nice Gaggia machine) and when out of town but my morning ritual (which I dislike having to vary from) is three cups of strong black brewed coffee.
So while I don't particularly like having to deal with an American company when traveling it is a force of habit.
