My thought exactly ;) I've always hated when somebody says "I need my coffee" and actually means  "I need my  extra hot no foam grande sugar free vanilla latte”... but that is the case with most Americans.

It is far to rare to see a person drinking black coffee unless it is some kind of a free deal (like free coffee provided at my work)... even then I see people pouring tons of liquid or powdered cream into their cup (usually 50:50 ratio:) )

On another note - here espresso (or expresso as I've seen it written way too many) is a really bad idea. First time I went to Starbucks I decided to stick to my Bulgarian ideas about coffee and ordered double espresso... I received, no joke, 20 ml of liquid packed with 2 scoops of coffee ...  then it kind of makes sense to try and "water" it down with lots of milk sugar syrup or whatever you can find:)
