Well I think the US gets an unfair press regarding coffee. I have  
travelled reasonably extensively in the US, and generally found it  
easy to find good Italian coffee, at least in major cities...

A good cup of tea, on the other hand, seems to be strangely  
impossible outside the UK and some parts of it's former empire. :)

best,

Mark
