<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Subject:</B> Re: [Pw_forum] a question about
the name ESPRESSO</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>PPS: although a bit outdated, "espresso" is actually an
adjective. It used to mean "made on purpose" or "made on demand". This is the
origin of the expression (note the common root of the words!) "espresso
coffee", which is made on demand, rather than filtered and kept hot in a
kettle. I think that it is because of its association with "coffee on
demand" that at some pointthe word "espresso" came to mean "swift", or
"quick" (because brewing espresso coffee is much faster than making filter
coffee). As a matter of fact, the fastest Italian trains when I was a kid were
named "espresso". So, "Quantum ESPRESSO" alludes to a blend of all these
meanings: tasty (as good coffee), fashionable (as many Italian goods), user
friendly (ready on demand), swift and powerful (as espresso trains), tech savy
(as Illy coffee), a bit understating (you don't drink espresso coffee in very
elegant cafes, but you can find small coffee places with a great reputation
for their espresso), keeping awake/alive (as strong coffee should: please,
notice the contrast with "siesta"). SB
