Don't worry about it. They're equally bitter swill you want no part of Akatsuki. Just go buy a bottle of coke for a buck; you'll get your drugs and it'll taste better.

following the cliche, she will order espresso and got confused by the tiny cup

Just follow Kongou, and drink some black tea.

It's far less bitter and many can be drunk without having to add milk or sweeteners (but you certainly could if you wanted to...) Plus, tea is at least as elegant and suited to a lady.

If she's going to drink coffee, maybe she'll have this kind of reaction lol

I’m more concerned with the acidic taste rather than bitter taste. Last time I ordered espresso, drank it too late and it already tasted really sour.
Had diarrhea afterward as well as gastric acid problem. (>_<)
Avoiding real coffee ever since.

Tea is not bitter, but hate the astringent taste

There are plenty of varieties to choose from. Something like Earl Gray is much more mild even without milk, (and a favorite of Captain Picard,) while something like Assam or Darjeeling are fantastic with some milk to neutralize the bitterness. Something like Irish Breakfast Tea is fairly bitter unless it's rather dilute, but those are the sorts most people cut with some milk, anyway.

"Herbal tea" is pretty much literally any plant matter boiled in water that isn't poisonous. Many herbal tea blends have things like marshmellow root, peppermint, licorice root, and stevia leaf as an additional sweetener. (My personal favorite herbal tea is Egyptian Licorice Mint, which has licorice and mint, obviously, but is mainly ginger and has black pepper and marshmallow root in it, as well. Almost all of those are good for digestion, which is great, since I love spicy foods.) Many herbal teas are therefore fairly sweet and not at all bitter or astringent at all, and would be perfectly suited to more childish palettes. (You can even get chocolate tea, which is basically as close to having hot chocolate as it sounds when you just add milk.)

I can't possibly be the only one who enjoys a good Americano once in a while am I?
