There are many differences in European and American culture. One of the ones that surprised me though was the difference in coffee. In Europe the coffee seems more fresh than in America where most coffees have a slight burnt taste from the brewing. In Europe they also do not have iced coffee and espresso drinks. Out of all of the places that had coffee that I have been here, only one had an iced coffee. Many people here also seem to enjoy very strong coffee, dinking black coffee or just espresso by itself. Overall, I think I enjoy the coffee more in Europe because it seems to be better quality and is more aromatic, although I do miss my iced drinks.

I would agree on the coffee here being very different. I have tended to notice a much more mildly flavored medium roast, where in the US most of our "medium" roast coffee is somehow more acidic than the light roasts here, yet more burnt than the dark roasts? I don't know what is up with the coffee people back home but I think I might have to become a coffee snob.
