I'm in Italy, but I've seen it throughout Southwestern Europe. If you are in Rome or in Paris, to-go coffee is advertised exclusively in English and cannot be found outside of tourist hubs. FWIW vending machines are popular here too, but they use small plastic cups with no lid.

Still fun. :) Hi from Croatia.

From my two years living in the Alps region, they are surely easy to find, written in French.

And if you go to Southeastern Europe, it is everywhere, mostly the iced coffee variant.
