Alex Wicker is used to odd looks from baristas when he stops by his local coffee shop. His order is unusual: black coffee. “Asking for just ‘coffee’ with no added context, without going through a round of 20 questions with the server, has become impossible at this point,” said Alex Wicker, a 23-year-old student from Shelbyville, Ind.  In a nation awash in Pistachio Cream Cold Brew and Iced Chocolate Almondmilk Shaken Espresso with Chestnut Praline Syrup, black-coffee drinkers like Mr. Wicker are becoming a rare breed.…
