Pet peeve of mine is people referring to brewed coffee thinking it's synonymous with drip brewed only. Guess what, if the coffee is hit by water by any brewing method it's brewed coffee. I don't care if it's espresso (yes, espresso extraction is a brewing method), auto-drip, manual pour over, press pot, Aeropress, ibrik, vacuum brewer, vacuum balance brewer, Clover, moka pot, toddy, choreador (Costa Rica peasant coffee sock:-) it's all brewed coffee. Now if the beans are still dry and you just chew it that's another matter, unless you count saliva brewed which I don't count considering brewing methods to be prior to hitting my mouth...
If you wanna be considered a coffee professional, don't use layman misinformed misquided terminology.
Don't get me going on espresso not being coffee... Granted and agreed when someone walks up asks for a cup of coffee they're not (usually) referring to espresso extracted coffee, at least not in the US. Does not negate espresso being coffee.
