To each their own, I suppose. It’s certainly possible I’ve never had good espresso, but I’ve had it at a bunch of different coffee shops that tout it as their specialty and it doesn’t seem to vary much in flavor. I don’t think it’s bad - I like it because it’s coffee - I just prefer a light roast pour-over and have gotten a nicer range of flavors out of pour-overs. I don’t have a fancy palate, though, when I want a caffeine fix any pre-ground canned grocery coffee or gas station drip does the trick. Or tea, even.
