Espresso

n. strong black coffee brewed by forcing steam under pressure through darkly roasted, powdered coffee beans.

After a heavy lunch, Dad and I decided to get us some cup of good coffee. We passed by McCafe at Glorietta and I suggested we try it out. When I approached the counter and asked for two cups of espresso, the waitress said, "Ma'am, black coffee po ito. Matapang po ito". Say what?! Are you kidding me? Tama bang maliitin ang coffee powers ko?! Do I look like some kid who doesn't know what espresso is?
