Who knows a lot about American espresso?
I used to drink tea with cream and sugar then I slowly added less and less until I got used to black. I'm looking to do the same with coffee. I want to learn to like black coffee. How would you even begin to step down from an espresso? Do certain espressos have less milk and more coffee than others? Thanks

Can't Move!!
Two days ago I was pretty mad at someone so I had a very intense angry workout. I was a little too intense with about 20 minutes of seriously deep squats. Now I can't move!
