If you don't like drinking espresso directly, try many other espresso drinks. Many stores like to have their own iconic drinks, but some basic recipes are the same wherever they go:

Espresso: an espresso served in a small coffee cup, about 43 grams. Take a sip of water to clean the palate before drinking espresso, which is usually sprinkled with a thin layer of sugar without damaging the foam layer, or with a small slice of lemon after a meal.

Ristretto: use about 43 grams of espresso powder to make about 28 grams of Ristretto.

Cappuccino: 1/3 espresso, 1/3 milk, plus 1/3 milk foam, usually sprinkled with a lot of cocoa powder.

Latte: 1/3 espresso, 2/3 milk. For many Italians, drinking lattes is the only thing to do in the morning. According to Italian tradition, milk is not allowed in afternoon coffee.

American coffee: it tastes like a very strong cup of coffee. A small cup of espresso with enough hot water to fill the cup.

Macchiato: a small cup of espresso and a small ball of foamed milk.

Mocha: about a tablespoon of chocolate and whipped cream on the latte.

Fantasia: mocha with vortex-flavored syrup.
