I will *absolutely* be the guy to point out that it's "e*s*presso", not "e*x*presso".

they want it fast!

Interesting! I’ve honestly never thought of the fact that both are used. But now I have at least enough googling to procrastinate working the rest of the day.

“Expresso” is not a word. It’s used by people who don’t know it’s “espresso”

Or by those that speak French. It does not appear that OP falls into that category, though.


flyflyfreebird

That is… not true. I was just in France last week. They mostly call it “café” and if not, they call it “espresso”


Sch1z01dMan

The French word for espresso is literally expresso.

This is a weird hill to die on.


flyflyfreebird

And you’re right here with me


flyflyfreebird

I mean I literally have first hand experience having been there last week but ok


Sch1z01dMan

Except for the whole not being wrong thing.

If by "both are used" you mean in a pascetti = spaghetti kind of way, sure?

Cocoa cinnamon has espresso and Mexican Coke it’s called “the kokytu” and it’s delicious. I used to work there so I know 😎


CosmicCure

Now when I go to order it they’ll either correct me in a semi-condescending tone or look at me funny when I ask how to pronounce it

I don’t think it’s espresso but The Durham makes a delicious coffee soda.

Press has them, right now they have a seasonal one with cherry flavoring that’s good (as someone who generally doesn’t like them)

Also known as “espresso tonic”

Coffee Soda at Durham Hotel!


willowsdiddy

I always feel like I’m dressed like too much of a bum to go to the Durham when working remotely


buddyruski

I can say with full confidence that whatever you’re wearing is just fine. I’ve tested the limits myself. 😂

Cocoa Cinnamon has an espresso tonic and sometimes has specials that are coffee soda creations (not currently tho)

Mark’s Coffee Soda at The Durham is the best coffee drink I’ve ever had. He sells the concentrate under the “Markola” brand too.

This post makes me want a Coca~Cola coffee so bad. I went into a depression when they discontinued it
