So yeah, basically my fiancé and I were trying to decide on which beans to get, and the lady at the grocery store told us “If you guys are making expressso at home, you should get our expressso roast! That’s what it’s for cause expressso beans are just so different. That’s how they get all that caffeine in there!” She turned around to make us a sample and I told my fiancé “she has no idea wtf she’s talking about” and he says “no, not at all.” So anyway, we get the beans and they’ve been solid. Only this morning, just now, did I realize that the bag itself SAYS “expressso” and then I realized IT’S ON THE DECAF BEANS WE BOUGHT TOO!!!
Lady is completely lost, confirmed. But she had a cute outfit so 🤷🏻♂️😂
(Side note: I had to had an extra S to expressso because it wouldn’t let me make a post spelling espresso wrong)

It’s not nice to make fun of the French. 😉
Could it be that she’s playing into the train theme? Lol. It’s kind of fun if so.
Is this the Boxcar Coffee in Boulder, Colorado? That’s where I get my beans every week.

Is it good? Beautiful that they picked a fight with everyone on the internet but probably none of their customers
Real ones use the ‘x.’
On iphone, You just type an extra letter then backspace. Expresso. I usually just double the last letter. Expressoo, backspace, then it lets it go.
It’s a pun because they are train themed. Would make more sense if written Express-O, it looks like they’ve capitalised the O to emphasize the “express”
Stupid edits that everyone has to know about
What is this? Train-ing espresso for young butlers?
If it says “dark expresso” run for the hills 😂
Ex-pressso?
Lowes foods!! Their beans are excellent if you enjoy flavor added to your espresso. Ive not found a flavor additive that is 0 calories that tastes good, so using flavored beans works real well for me, and i love their variety! My favorite was the butter rum. They roast the beans there and are super fresh.
Only bad part is they are quite pricey, but they do 1/2 off on fridays (they roast on saturdays, so its clearing the old inventory out but still a week old is not bad).
I think it’s a play on the train theme. Like “Boxcar Express” but it’s ” Boxcar Expresso”.
Maybe it makes you express feelings of “oh!”
Yea – for the fact that its a capital O and its a train theme, they are pretty clearly being clever with the Train / Express theme. Good marketing too because it triggers us to post about it lmfao
Hello fellow North Carolinian! I get my drip coffee beans from the Friday bean sales at Lowes. For my EXPRESSO 😀 I usually pick up from the local roasters Cactus Creek.
Never realized we also need an r/expressocirclejerk
Ah I miss shopping at Lowes.
Lowe’s food?
Being french made this very hard to understand (in french the word for espresso is actually “expresso”, I think just to piss off our lovely neighbours)
I don’t get it
They’ve achieved god tier marketing with equal parts pun and ragebait
