"我觉得那里的咖啡最好喝。"
Translation:I think the coffee there is the tastiest.

"I think that the coffee there is the most delicious," "I think that the coffee there is best," and "I think the coffee there is tastiest" were also rejected. None of these are bad translations.
Beyond that, I don't normally talk about coffee being the "tastiest" or "most delicious." I'd just say, "I think the coffee there's best."
Yes, in Duo-English you cannot say that you think THAT..... You have to leave out the THAT. I found in a previous exercise I was marked wrong for saying "think that" instead of just "think" followed by whatever the description of the thought was, so now I just omit the relative pronoun. I suggest you report it next time this happens to you.

I appreciate the work that the creators put into this course, but they generally failed to realize that grammatically correct phrase is "think that" not "think"
I want to say: I believe the coffee over there is the best. The way the sentence is phrased is quite opinionated, implying a gut feeling. The person is strongly stating an opinion by starting the sentence with "I". Believe is better in this case, because not only does the sentence starts with "我" but it also use the word "最好" instead of "很好" or if the person said "pretty good". The sentence would be structured differently if you were conveying a more polite "think" because the speaker would not use it with "best".

I'm sorry, but "tasty coffee"? Really? I've never heard anyone describe coffee as "tasty"! Maybe that's another Americanism?

Nope. "Tasty" and "tastiest" are not words commonly used in the US to describe food or drink in this context. It's more natural to say "delicious", "good", or "the best." Some people might say: "that was really tasty!", but it's used more as a special compliment than a generic description.

The DL translators mystify me. Why not 'is really delicious' (which is what English speakers acutally say) rather than 'the tastiest' (which I have never heard anyone say, ever)?

Nobody talks like this in real life (tastiest, really?!). The 'most tasty' should be accepted

I'm curious, why did you post this comment? It's just the word-for-word title of this discussion thread.
