I definitely like the phrase "espresso love." Here is how to understand the true meaning of the metaphor:
1.) Get a job at a cafe.
2.) Be scheduled for a morning shift.
3.) Come in, open up, drink a double shot of espresso.
4.) In a half an hour, drink another single shot (or a double if you are feeling brave.)
5.) Repeat step four every half hour until you feel you truly grasp the concept of a proper espresso buzz.
While much more temporary, it is distressingly similar to the feeling you get in the beginning of a relationship. The only downside is that straight espresso tastes like a tiny civilization having a chemical war on the back of your tongue. Oh well.
