    an Americano is not a black coffee.

    It is however, coffee that is black,

    Hold on now, I’m not getting this. What meaning could “black coffee” possibly have other than a coffee that is black?

      It’s color is black, but it’s not black the type. Cold brew, espresso, and chickory are also blackthe color, but they’re not what you ordered if you wanted black the type.

        I guess I’ve never really thought of “black” as a type of coffee. Where I live black usually just means you don’t want any milk in whatever type of coffee you ordered.
