You can't go around California saying "X-press-oh"! They'll kick you out! Dude, even though the drink is a “Texpresso”, the coffee beans are “espresso”.

It's better than aspartame, but when I put it in coffee it always tastes like someone secretly dumped in a pile of dust from the tray on a chalkboard. "We've replaced his normal sugar with this heap of limestone. Let's see if he notices!" Bleah. Besides, there's no reason to make a <em>diet</em> espresso drink anyway—the increase in metabolic rate you'll get from the caffeine will burn any extra calories! ;) Also, Splenda® sucks.

You can use your eSpresso (lol) machine, but I like the meditative slowness of using the single small drip percolater. I'm sure you can find one at a Vietnamese store near you, if not, I'll mail you one. If you use the percolater, you'll want some nice dark unflavored coffee (I prefer Cafe Du Monde brand). Here is the part that makes it great! You fill your cup 1/4 with condensed milk, set the percolator on the cup, pour boiling water on top, wait for water to percolate, remove percolater, mix. You now have your thick sludge of sweet strong caffeinated goodness. When I go to restaurants I usually throw it in a glass with ice, but hot coffee is just as good. It’s very easy.

Holy crap, if Jason starts drinking one of those every day he's going to weigh 400 lbs by the end of the month. condensed milk?!?
