"boston coffee"
Has anyone heard this term for a mixture of half milk, half coffee? My
grandmother, who was born in Mississippi and lived her married life in Arkansas, served me this when I was a child. I have never met anyone who knew this term, even people from Boston. Richard Butler

I'd bet the term "boston coffee" came out of that practice.
