the truth is that American coffee has become so ubiquitous that it is the base line of what coffee is and anything else is pointed out as an oddity.
What an insane statement. The two methods of brewing that you stated are considered some of the worst methods in modern coffee brewing. Percolation, while producing a strong brew, suffers from a large amount of ground coffee making it into the final cup. And drip coffee, while producing a cup of coffee, leaves a lot to be desired since theres a lack of flavors extracted through the process.
Siphon coffee brewers existed long before percolation, with the Moka pot being one of the most ubiquitous, and still used to this day.
Turkish coffee produces some of the best tasting coffee but also suffers from the grounds leftover in the cup.
All of this is to say Americanized coffee may have gotten more people into coffee, but it didn’t do anything to innovate the brewing process. These processes have been refined and proven long before Americans started brewing coffee.
Just because you don’t like the innovations doesn’t mean they don’t exist, need I remind you of the, k-cup,
nitro brew, instant coffee, frappuccino, iced coffee.
I could make an argument for K-Cups or at least individually packaged coffee.
One of the biggest problems with ground coffee is that the first scoop is fresh but when you get to the bottom it is stale, whole beans have the same problem but it takes longer . The problem is both are in an oxygen environment when you open them the K-Cup is stored in nitrogen and sealed until use, we might use old beans or bad beans but the invention itself is pretty revolutionary.
Instant coffee is harder to defend but I will say it took over all of Europe and it to is revolutionary l, if you get the kind that is made by freeze drying instead of dehydration it is a lot better and also it is dependent on the beans

K-cup and instant coffee aren’t exactly high quality coffee
