I grew up in a fairly conservative area some decades ago and I suspect the coffee served in restaurants was pretty similar to the stuff brewed in War Two.

Think strong, bitter, slightly oily. US military coffee was famous for its strength, caffeine content, and high acid levels.

TL 8 habitues of designer coffee houses might have to make Fright or even Stun checks when confronted with the coffee of the era.

Could be a life-saver.
