  • Sure I worded this weirdly. As far as nationalities go, there is no other country in the world with more Spanish speaking people, by far. There. But that wasn’t even the point. The point was that >100 million Spanish speaking people would ask for “café negro”.

    EDIT: Merriam Webster accepts “most” as a synonym for “greatest in quantity, extent or degree”, which is not necessarily at least half plus one. Then again, I’m not a native English speaker. I edited the original comment to be clear.





  • Most The first majority of Spanish speaking people are Mexican. We ask for café negro. Now, the interesting part is that if you want a café negro in any cafe, and you feel awkward about it, you can ask for a café americano. It’s curious how the café negro in this setup is the “American coffee”. Then again, we don’t think America is America, we understand America as the Americas.
