That's very interesting and many things are about our family \r\nEspecially "Women seem to be more concerned about the price than men" I am trying to choose the best quality and what I like, but my wife always cares about the price

\r\n\r\nI have 3-4 cups of espresso a day, sometimes when I have a hard day, even 4-5 cups. So I am not and average American! \r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nI have Pear-shaped white espresso cup, restaurant quality \r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nAgain, I am too immodest, but I drink coffee regularly, between meals and during business talks etc. Am I among those remaining 70%?

Thank you, eimports!\r\nWill you post some more interesting and useful info about coffee?
