Are you suggesting it's not espresso since the stick doesn't stand up on its own?
- still don't know what op is trying to espresso here
- I Ihink it's more that you can continue to see the stick well below the submersion point. No espresso I've ever seen is thick enough to make a stirrer stand up, turkish is the thickest ive encountered and it wouldn't be able to, but I wouldn't consider something that looks as weak as this image espresso either. This is what fairly weak coffee looks like.
- It stands on its own in this one:
  You can measure the thickness of the crema:
Amazing crema.
- Holy shit my sides
And here I thought it's soy sauce.
The place I got it from has bags of coffee on the floor and all that. Sells espresso machines. Very performative.
- Espresso means "no creamer," right?
  
  Nah, it just means they serve it to you really fast.
It's called Expresso when it looks like that
doubt
- X
I suspect this was made by mixing "espresso syrup" and hot water.
- It actually came out of an espresso machine. A large ass, commercial machine. That's why I was so shocked.
  
  What kind of machine? A good machine will produce a good espresso. Maybe it's a supermarket automatic coffee machine?
used motor oil?
- I've never had used motor oil but imagine it would taste similarly.
- Yeah they've left the dipper in it too.
Grind. Just... grind.... at all....
