> how many people drink an espresso every day and think it has an x in it. Arguably, "espresso" isn't an english word, but spelling it with an "x" as "expresso" isn't as incorrect as you may think. There's two main theories behind which word to use: "espresso" meaning to "press out" the coffee, or "expresso" meaning "expressly made for the customer" as it's quicker to make than a filter coffee. This is further confused by the Latin root being "exprimire" meaning "to press or squeeze out". https://www.merriam-webster.com/grammar/espresso-vs-expresso-usage-history https://www.merriam-webster.com/grammar/espresso-vs-expresso...
