Note
The plural belongs to the countable use, where an espresso is one serving: two espressos, a round of espressos before the meeting. When the word names the coffee itself, as in a bag of espresso or too much espresso, it stays singular and takes no -s. English gives it the ordinary -s ending, not the Italian plural espressi.
