Wait I was about to downvote you because it sounds like something that an AI would hallucinate but actually TIL that espresso drinks (not espresso) were actually modified and popularized by starbucks and peets and their versions, and not the Italian versions, are the ones that are most popular through the world
the fuck are you on about? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Espresso
The world doesn't revolve around the fucknited states of no healthcare
Just stop. You're not getting the nuance at all.
ironic, since there is very little nuance to the whippedcream "coffecintos" that starfucks serves
When did I defend Starbucks in this thread beyond "they started some things that are important"?
I really hate that we have to filter everything through "is this post just AI?".
Edit: and when I said "Starbucks is what started it", I was thinking more along the lines of Second Wave Coffee and how that's led into everything else since, not just espresso. Starbucks isn't considered top quality even in the US, but they should get credit for moving things along.
My personal favorite coffee shop, the one that makes absolutely stellar espresso, is from a guy who started it in a friend's skateboard shop.
