Unexpected depth in Espresso — took time to notice

I drank Espresso for months before I started noticing what was actually going on in it. Once I slowed down and paid attention — prepared traditionally rather than rushing — the ratio of ingredients became something I actively appreciated. The morning clarity I'd been getting was just part of it.

There's a difference between drinking something and actually tasting it. Espresso rewards the latter more than you'd expect from something so widely consumed.
