   Strong coffee, brewed on the machine of the same name, in Russian is called "espresso". Without the letter "K" and with two "C" at the end. Those are the rules. But if you insist on asking the barista for "expresso", do not rush to get upset. Perhaps for some reason Latin is closer to you than modern Italian. The Russian words “espresso” and “expressive” are derived from the Latin verb esprimere (to express, to squeeze). Only in the Latin version is pronounced [x], and in Italian, as in Russian, [s].

   We say espresso because Italians cannot pronounce [x], but we say expression, and they are formed from one word. "The mistakes of one generation," as Isaac Bashevis-Singer said, "become the recognized style and grammar for the next." So, who knows, maybe in 50 years everyone will order Expresso.
