expresso
Espresso spelled wrong
Expresso is a common variant spelling and pronunciation of espresso, the strong coffee brewed by forcing hot water through finely ground beans.
Though widely used, expresso is considered incorrect by coffee purists and style guides.
The "ex-" pronunciation likely arises from analogy with English words like "express."
