Stopped into an old-school diner for coffee, felt like a time warp

I was down in Asheville last weekend showing a house and ducked into this little diner off Tunnel Road. They still brew in those big glass urn things and serve it in thick ceramic mugs, no paper cups unless you ask. The guy behind the counter just nodded when I ordered black, didn't ask about pour over or single origin or anything. It hit me that we've spent so much time dialing in ratios and grind sizes that we forgot coffee can just be a warm cup you drink while you read the paper. Anyone else ever miss that simpler side of things, or am I just getting old?
