jouissance (uncountable)
(obsolete) Enjoyment, delight, pleasure.
In poststructuralism, a transgressive, excessive kind of pleasure linked to the division and splitting of the subject involved.
• The sexual connotation (i.e. orgasm) is lacking in the English word "enjoyment", and therefore the word is left untranslated in English editions of the works of the French psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan.

Espresso is both a coffee beverage and a brewing method that originated in Italy. When making an espresso, a small amount of nearly boiling water under pressure forces through finely-ground coffee beans. It has more caffeine per unit volume than most coffee beverages. Its smaller serving size will take three shots to equal a mug of standard brewed coffee.
