For me espresso is the best coffee. I didn't like coffee before I tasted espresso on my first trip to Italy 15 years ago.

Nowadays most of our offices in Poland have espresso machines, so I can taste it here also.

What is funny is that when I was in our main office in US, they didn't have espresso machine, just some strange "coffee machine" that poured some coffee-like liquid.

I also don't get the big buckets of coffee premade and poured to the mugs in some traditional American diners.

In Poland the traditional way to prepare coffee is called "turkish style" (po turecku) - you put one or two spoons of ground coffee in glass or mug and pour hot water over it. I don't like that too much, but it tastes better than the US made version of coffee.

I hate having to clean the crud from the mugs of my Polish in-laws. I have a perfectly fine French press!
