There's a whole movement against it in the specialty coffee industry. It's too rare to become mainstream anyway.

The power of McDonalds

I'm willing to bet that the majority of people ordering flavored coffee drinks have no idea
that they are espresso based,

I prefer mind old school with just a lemon peel. You ruin the flavor otherwise,

Espresso, coffee, etc. none of it works on me. I can drink five espresso and go to sleep. If I'm drowsy, the only thing that works for me is sleep and that was a major problem in college. Caffeine will only keep me awake if I need to wake up early the next morning.

I like my coffee like I like my women: nearly white, overly sweet and hostile to my approach.

I like my coffee like I like my women: milk and two sugars.

a movement against it? What's the story behind that (if you are at liberty to say)

And btw, how in the blue hell can you drink espresso straight? I tried it once and it was one of the most bitter things I've ever tasted, hence the drowning it in milk a syrup

Here's the deal about kopi luwak:

In the past 10 years, kopi luwak has won the hearts — and wallets — of global consumers. A cup sells for $30 to $100 in New York City and London, while 1 kg of roasted beans can fetch as much as $130 in Indonesia and five times more overseas. The ultimate in caffeine bling is civet coffee packed in a Britannia-silver and 24-carat gold-plated bag, sold at the British department store Harrods for over $10,000. The justification for these exorbitant prices? A claim that kopi luwak is sourced from wild animals and that only 500 kg of it is collected annually. The claim is largely nonsense.

While there are some ethical suppliers of hand-gathered civet coffee, recent investigations, both by journalists and animal-rights activists, have revealed a cruel and avaricious industry. To satisfy global demand, many suppliers keep captured civets in cages and feed them almost exclusively on coffee cherries. Enduring appalling living conditions and an unhealthy diet, these nocturnal omnivores suffer mental distress — incessantly pacing and gnawing on their limbs — and succumb to illness and death. These grim farms are not confined to Indonesia. Farmers elsewhere in Asia have jumped on the bandwagon. By one estimate, 50 tons of mass-produced civet coffee from Indonesia, Vietnam, the Philippines and China flood the market every year.

As for drinking espresso straight, it's a little bit of an acquired taste, especially if you are used to sweet coffee beverages, but a good espresso shouldn't be bitter.

Check out the best coffee shop in your town, and get an espresso.

My theory on good espresso is find a shop that uses Lavazza and your find good
espresso.
