the truth is that American coffee has become so ubiquitous that it is the base line of what coffee is and anything else is pointed out as an oddity.
What an insane statement. The two methods of brewing that you stated are considered some of the worst methods in modern coffee brewing. Percolation, while producing a strong brew, suffers from a large amount of ground coffee making it into the final cup. And drip coffee, while producing a cup of coffee, leaves a lot to be desired since theres a lack of flavors extracted through the process.
Siphon coffee brewers existed long before percolation, with the Moka pot being one of the most ubiquitous, and still used to this day.
Turkish coffee produces some of the best tasting coffee but also suffers from the grounds leftover in the cup.
All of this is to say Americanized coffee may have gotten more people into coffee, but it didn’t do anything to innovate the brewing process. These processes have been refined and proven long before Americans started brewing coffee.
