<div><P>Dear QE developers:</P><P> As we know, you have created the acronym "ESPRESSO" for "opEn Source Package for Research in Electronic Structure, Simulation, and Optimization". Interestingly, recently I found accidentally that the word "Espresso" means an italian coffee. I am curious about how could you give the name of the code so creatively? Does the coffee "Espresso" have a special meaning to Italian people? </P><P>Best Wishes!</P><P>Yours Sincerely</P><P>L. F.
