Not many Americans order an espresso, according to The New York Times

According to The New York Times, it is the espresso.

If you want to order the most unconventional, unexpected drink at an espresso bar, ask for an espresso. Not many do. Americans might drink espresso drinks, but we rarely drink straight espresso[...]

Is that really true? Doesn’t anybody just order a shot of espresso any more? I do.

    I primarily order espresso. It allows me to get a good sense of the shop and the coffee.
