No coffee available in the Olympic Village in Rio de Janiero?

Can it be? An archer from Egypt says he searched the village for coffee, but none was available. Well, the athletes' village beverage sponsor is Coca Cola and they have plenty of sugary, caffeinated drinks along with some awful non-sugar stuff. I have no doubt that some industrious Brazilian citizen will be delivering bicycle loads of good Brazilian grown and brewed coffee to the athletes in the Village very soon. I would not want to be without my coffee for days on end.

It does seem almost criminal.

I'm sure that will be a huge problem for a lot of the athletes!

What I am reading on this says that Expresso is available but Brazilians aren't used to the coffee like we drink in the US.

@JamesHxstatic ....Doesn't sound like it. You'd probably be good then with the expresso.
