It would help to know what nation you’re in. I’m in the USA. Over here, coffee comes in many varieties.
50 years ago, it was not so. Back then, coffee was primarily robusta beans, medium roast, ground and sold in big containers at stores; it was brewed in a percolator.
In the 1970s, the Mr. Coffee drip machine came out, and most people abandoned their percolators–tho’ not all.
Nowadays, a lot is sold in Starbucks or other coffee shops.
A lot of people drink instant, and there are 3 major brands: Folgers, Maxwell House, and Taster’s Choice (which is owned by Nescafe, and is quite similar to the Nescafe import from Greece that my local Halal shop sells).
Then again, a lot of our coffee is dark-roasted and brewed as espresso (for cappucino, latte, etc.).
And in the last 10 years or so, many Americans are using French presses instead of drip machines.
You can also find gourmet shops where you can get international coffee varieties–Ethiopian Yergecheffe, Blue Mountain Kona, Celebes Kalossi, etc.
Many people (myself included) buy whole beans and grind them at home just prior to brewing. (Then again, I’m kind of a coffee hound–I have also a cezveler for making Greek coffee, and the little stainless steel drippers for making Viet coffee).
Common additives include sugar, sweetener (aspartame, saccharine, sucralose), cream, half-and-half, milk (often skim), and coffeemate (or other generic lighteners). Stores also sell a range of flavored additives (hazelnut or vanilla artificial dairy product) and flavored instant coffees.
Sigh–and then there are the niche products like Kava, an instant with the acid neutralized, or Postum, a non-coffee coffee beverage with no caffeine.
So that cleared things up not at all, did it?

Anywhere in the world coffee is made from the coffee nut which is powdered and used to me coffee or made into a powder by chemical means and called instant coffee with different brand names. In our homes (South India) we buy the coffee powder and make thick decoction( In a two jar filter we keep the powder in the top add boiling water to it and after some time the thick decoction come down in the lower jar through the filtering method.) and mix milk and sugar and drink and it is fantastic.
