dude, ive travelled ... LOTS more than you... and i drink a lot of coffee... believe me, it is fucking HARD to find a good cappuccino in usa... unless like i said, you are in NYC or few other metros on the east and west coast- and even then there is PLENTY of shit cappuccino, you gotta know where to go
p.s. lost of american cafes dont even have less than 12 oz cups, in fact, they dont even have cups that arent paper (thank god styrofoam is outlawed in many places, sadly NE isnt one of them, as i am currently visiting here and plastic bags and styrofoam are all over, used like it's no big deal, but the big gas sucking cars drive by and order... giant sized lattes that have 5000 calories
