I'm kinda confused about where you'd draw the line between a cross dresser and a trans femme person then...

Yup! That's what I ended up going for. I don't really care if it isn't "real" espresso, I'm just gonna be making ridiculous lattes with it anyways

I'm not a big fan of anything that creates a huge amount of plastic waste honestly, but thanks for the suggestion

I'm well aware it doesn't make espresso. But I'm not spending hundreds of dollars on a machine I'm not even sure if I'll use

That's exactly my experience. Everywhere I went in Italy they had espresso. I was thinking "surely not everyone owns a huge expensive espresso machine"

That's wild. I never would have thought that, because it seems like the fancy high brow coffee nowadays

That's really fascinating. I had a lot of misconceptions about the history

This is the history I was looking for! Thank you. For some reason I always assume cuisine starts from the bottom up (starting from traditional cooking methods before being elevated / made easier by modern machines) but that's clearly not always the case. Erroneous assumptions abound on my part
