I must admit, from watching so many American movies, that I always picture everyone in America having a pot of coffee sitting on the stove, continually heated, ready to pour. And most people I see in movies have it straight black straight out of that pot.

Yup!
Americans LOVE coffee. Well, at least they do in my part of the country. I generally drink 3 or 4 cups a day. Always straight out of the pot! No sugar. No cream. No nothing! lol

When I want to make buttermilk pancakes, rather than buy buttermilk, which is not easily available around here, a simple substitute is to add a teaspoon of white vinegar to regular milk and let it sit for a few minutes.

Well, oddly enough, the term buttermilk has two meanings (I just looked it up). It can be applied to the residual liquid left after butter is churned (which, I guess, is why I expected buttermilk to taste like butter), or it's "cultured milk" made by adding "suitable bacteria" to sweet milk.
I can also remember my mother adding vinegar to milk to sour it for a recipe that called for buttermilk.

I used to have a white coffee, but when I started travelling to Asia I weaned myself off the milk and have it black sometimes with a couple of sugars. We have an expresso machine so its usually and dare I say it.... about 4 cups in the morning before work and one in the afternoon ::)

I'm with you Sue, I think of an American kitchen and I see that pot of coffee sitting there

Coffee flavoured milk has been around since I was a kid in the sixties. As a kid I did not drink it, preferring the sweeter chocolate or strawberry, but as Ive got older, I do prefer it, if I want a flavoured milk.
I am still amazed that it is not a big market product in America.

MMmmmm may be a business opportunity here?
Front-Ranger:
Coffee drinkers are rising up against the Tea Party in the U.S., so lately this poll has a different meaning!!
And me, I drink coffee, though I take it decaffeinated or "unleaded" as the mixed-metaphor crowd calls it.
Monika:
I pour so much cream into my coffee, that I like to think of it as "cream with coffee"
