Is it so hard to make decent coffee?

Why is so difficult for the English to make decent coffee?
I ask after a particularly poor example served up to Varina and me in a Shrewsbury coffee house.
Is it poor quality control, excessive cost control, ignorance, or a general inattention to customer service? I don’t know, but I do know that I rarely go back for more!
