> simple black drip coffee drinks

I visited London last year and was surprised & disappointed that the McDonalds across from the Trocadero did not have any such thing as simple black drip coffee (to which I could add half-and-half). The closest I could come was "flat white", which I never heard of before in the U.S.





A flat white is just a small latte (i.e. with a higher espresso to milk ratio). It's not based on filter coffee.

Half and half does not exist in the UK (or Europe more generally, AFAIK).

Filter coffee exists but is less common, especially now that office coffee tends to be handled by coffee machines that make espresso(-style) coffee.
