[Pw_forum] a question about the name ESPRESSO

[lfhuang]

Dear QE developers:
     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? 
Best Wishes!
Yours Sincerely
