#438 espresso

espresso- strong coffee made by forcing steam or boiling water through ground coffee beans; an apparatus for making coffee in this way

C20 Italian short for caffe espresso, literally: pressed coffee

I usually have three or four cups of coffee in the morning and rarely buy a high priced espresso.
