Seems to be right. Not that the making fun of was accurate, but if you have a bunch of toxic men who think espresso puts hair on your chest, seeing folks drink drip coffee is probably embarrassing even though itās objectively got more caffeine and a completely distinct flavor.
I donāt know if it was so much āMake fun ofā as the sentiment was āThey canāt handle itā similar to how certain cultures eat relatively spicy food tease those who canāt handle it. I donāt have direct evidence for that part, and my source was a friend of mine who was a foreign exchange student from France who explained it to me as such.
Right thatās the toxic masculinity/hair on your chest aspect. Espresso is in general easier on your stomach than drip and itās certainly easier to drink (worst case itās a shot). So even though the driver was toxic masculinity, as per usual that toxicity wasnāt even valid.
Ironically in the middle of being toxic the Europeans invented something called an Americano that Americans donāt drink, doesnt have the rich flavors of what itās making fun of, has less caffeine than what itās making fun of, and is actually harder to drink (because of the shit flavor) than the thing it waters down. Itās a massive dumb backfire driven by toxic masculinity from the romance states.

Americano is not (supposed to be) drip coffee, itās a shot of espresso with added hot water.
Reread what I said
If it helps, assume I know what Iām talking about. That should steer you straight.
