Fair, but I have never had an espresso as good as in italy, damn even the highway truck stops make good coffee.
I don’t know, but with all the expensive machinery (it was all the rage in Sweden to have mysterious espresso machines a while ago), the cup isn’t better than the french which is made to accommodate old beans (invented in the 1890s IIRC when you couldn’t get fresh beans). The italian makes them all feel like fast-food coffee. For me.
But maybe it’s just that they dial the grounds finer and make that more ristretto like coffee I like.
Yeah, no worries. In the end, we like what we like. Personally I don’t like it when I have to add sugar to the espresso. And for me, most places serve coffee that’s too bitter cause they roast the beans too much since that’s what was the standard for the longest time.

Thanks for the idea, I’ll try it out!
