Coffee-shop coffees these days are dark-roasted (i.e. bitter) espresso for adding flavour to an otherwise milky (or your milk alternative) sugary hot or cold concoction.

Filter coffee made from a lightly roasted regional with fruity / tea-like characteristics is a world apart from a watered down Espresso. And really all you need is some filter paper and a pour-over filter holder, if you order your coffee pre-ground.
