espresso
Espresso is a highly concentrated bitter beverage tasked with obliterating drowsiness in a single drop. Defying its tiny cup, it rouses both heart and mind with relentless force. The sought-after alertness arrives, accompanied by tremors and an existential fretting. It is often dubbed a corporate slave’s elixir of caffeine, yet self-proclaimed gourmets hail its bitterness as sophistication. A shot that blurs the line between taste and rationality.
