The poll didn’t include Zima. But maybe that’s reasonable because although it’s discontinued currently, I have documentary evidence that it will be available again in the future.
I haven’t had Tab in probably 50 years.
But if I thought about it hard enough right now, the memory would make me gag.
mmm
Zima wasn’t a soft drink (which was what those polls were about). It was an alcoholic “cooler”/alcopop, and was a forerunner of drinks like Mike’s Hard Lemonade and Smirnoff Ice.
Somewhere in the house I have my mother’s old aluminum drip pot. It doesn’t need a filter. But I usually use a Chemex filter in an old Chemex holder whose glass bottom broke years ago; but it fits pretty well on an old porcelain on metal coffee boiler pot.
We liked Jolt 25.
And there was Fresca, which was not bad as a diet soda. LBJ loved it. It is still sold, but I have not seen it in my grocery store?
It probably doesn’t have wide distribution anymore, and it would not surprise me to learn that only certain local Coca-Cola bottlers even carry it.
IIRC, it was a grapefruit-citrus flavor; if your stores carry Squirt (which comes in a zero-sugar variety), it might be close in flavor.
Where is cafetiere the default for a moka pot in English?
First time we visited Italy we rented an apartment (VRBO), and it came with a moka pot. It was the first time I had seen one, but my mother knew how to use it. We bought one then, and bought a new one when we got an induction stove. Don’t use it very often - I should get it out again.
I’d guess that most Americans have no idea what that is, and don’t drink coffee made that way.
I’ve been eyeing this electric option for a while, but haven’t convinced myself I need another coffee creation option.
When I lived in southern Spain everyone called them cafeteros, so I assumed cafetiere was what they’re called in English and I have always called mine that. Today is the first time I have ever heard the term Moka pot. It turns out that a cafetiere is actually a French press. Ignorance fought. So yes, I meant moka pot not cafetiere.
I mostly order some type of latte or macchiato at coffee shops. At home we use instant coffee and an electric kettle for water.
A discontinued drink that I would try is Pepsi AM. It was discontinued in 1990 (according to Wikipedia), when I was two years old. I would prefer a Coke AM, though.
I have never seen the term “cafetiere” before this thread. I’m not convinced it’s a standard English word for anything in particular. If it is, i don’t think I’ve had coffee prepared that way. I’ve heard of moka pots and french presses. I’ve used a French press.
I’m forced to bet? A lot of money? I bet on the worst possible outcome. Then, if it happens, at least i get a lot of money.
Warm tuna sandwich: with cheese
Cold tuna sandwich: without cheese
Maybe it’s British? I call it a caffetière, but I learned about it in the UK.
What is it?
Google thinks it is a French press.
This American never heard of the term ‘moka pot’ until today, and I wouldn’t know what to call it if I ever ran across one.
The coffee shop poll used terms that all sound like Starbucks names to me. My order is always “coffee”. If they ask about cream and sugar (which only happens if it’s to-go, or not already on the counter/tables) I say “no thanks, black please”.
Is it the same as a stovetop percolator?
I ha to look it up, too. It’s what I would have called an espresso pot.
