In all honestly, I really doubt you would find anything that in the US is called "french coffee", in France.

I know, I bought tin after tin of the shit in Trader Joes and jug after jug of the crap in Finagle a Bagle (or whatever that cardiac arrest breakfast place was called) and still I fail to find anywhere in France selling it :P

I've also yet to find somewhere serving French Toast.

And why the fuck French Fries?? The French didn't "invent" those....

In any case, a coffee in France is an expresso, which actually has no origins in France.

The fact that the expresso is what is classed as "coffee" pretty much anywhere on mainland Europe does not mean some American(s) can brand "French Coffee" as some half litre watered down, smelly sock drink.

Voila ;)
