If anyone is sitting at the only table in an Italian coffee shop enjoying their coffee it's usually an American tourist because they are on vacation. The Italians fill up the little espresso cup with sugar until you can see it, stir it up, CLANG down it goes, while standing at the counter.

America's coffee game went way up due to competition from the hipster Mom&Pop coffee houses. Even the coffee at 7-11 and McDonald's is decent drip now.

Considerate Americans don't dawdle at table in an eatery because it is preventing the server from turning the table over and making more money, or if it is late from getting off work.
