There is good espresso, and then there is bad espresso

This article appeals to the coffee snob in me, and might go some way to explaining why you might love coffee but hate espresso.

I had no idea that anyone could contemplate using as much as 20 grams of it for a double, let alone a single - ugh! At least now I know how some places manage to make such syrupy drinks. And these are the same places that will give you weak tea, when they’re doing the coffee equivalent of stuffing four teabags into a mug.

Crazy world.
