"...via their iPad apps over “a coffee.”"

What do Americans call a coffee? "via their iPad apps over “a cuppa.”" would be more British.

I was fairly sure they call it coffee, which isn't a particularly British word anyway, as it comes from Arabic, via Turkish and Italian.

Joey from friends says "cwoffee", perhaps that's what they mean...

Nope, that's the New York way of pronounce it :)

Surely you mean New Yoyk. ;)
