TIL Japan has something called アメリカンコーヒー, often referred to in English by the unintentionally condescending name "weak coffee".

It appears to be somewhat common. When looking it up, I found several sites like this one that explained how to say アメリカンコーヒー in English.
When I was at a hotel breakfast buffet in Tateyama, that was the label on the coffee machine, too: “American Coffee (weak)”.
