I tend to drink just one coffee per day, normally using a pod machine.
Yesterday I 'discovered' some espresso pods in the cupboard so tried one today.
It was so small....not much more than one mouthfull.
So (serious question) why bother ?
It gives some the opportunity to mock if some fool says "expresso"
Mock? They should be made to drink a double shot...especially if they're working in the shop....
Just run more water through the pod to make a nice 'normal' coffee.
Sometimes less is more! Though I tend to have a 'Doppio' or double espresso - twice the quantity.
It's a nice small, powerful, concentrated flavour and caffeine hit. Sometimes just what hits the spot when you don't want lots of volume.
However, would rather have an espresso and a glass of water that an insipid americano or sickly cappuccino.
Those who don't much like the taste of coffee add frothed milk or disgusting syrups or whatever. People who actually like coffee tend to choose espresso
