Hmmm, I didn’t know the “dark” term either. But it’s Iowa, so what do I know?

I have to admit, I’ve never “gotten” dark coffee. To me, coffee is a grownup vehicle for warm milk. So I always take mine light. Yum. However, I think it’s lame that coffee purveyors don’t seem to under stand what dark means. How ’bout asking for clarification if you don’t understand what someone’s just asked for!?!

Just black or with cream, and at the joints I inhabit, they give you the creamer or the creamer substitutes so you can lighten it as you wish.

I think Poonilda Devine was on Maury Povitch Show the other day. He/she was a transvestite who dressed like “Desperate Housewives”

I’ve never heard coffee referred to as ‘dark’ - only black or w/cream. Related factoid: if you order a soft drink at a restaurant here in Texas, you ask for a “coke” and then the waitress asks you what flavor of “coke” you want. You know, like say “7up” flavor or “Pepsi” flavor. Stupid Texas.

I am an Ohioan for the last, uhm, 15 years, but I don’t drink coffee, sorry…however, your dark vs black logic makes perfect sense to me…it doesn’t help you, does it? Perhaps you could order black with a ‘dash’ of milk…

“Snotbag attitude” (lol) you must be talking about my neighbor!

It’s not. I’m not sure if this is a song I made up (very unlikely) or if I’ve ripped it off some March.

Is the song the Cruella DeVille song? Because that’s the one I’ve got in my head now, thanks to you.

I think it is a regional/NYC thing. You don’t have light or dark coffee here. You have coffee with milk/cream and black coffee. Unless you’re at S-bux, in which case you have to speak Italian. And also, Poonilda Devine may be the best yet.

Light=a lot of milk
Dark=a little milk

It seems clear that I am going to have to give up on “dark,” but I’ll do it with a heavy heart. Poor, poor me.
