Expresso is a short review format, 300 words max for each article, is for movies, videogames, mostly, but it can potentially be used for comics, books, etcetera.
Instead of a vote in a numerical scale (don’t like them much, frankly), it is themed around coffee and it’s read like this:
![]() |
Coffee Grounds: The worst, the ugly, the bad, what remains, but you could see something interesting in the soil. |
![]() |
Americano: Not horrendous, nor bad, alright, in the middle, it does it job, it could be more or less, nothing worth celebrating or crying over. |
![]() |
Decaf: Not excellent, but it does a decent job, rises above mediocrity, and could surprise. Not to be underestimated or glossed over. |
![]() |
Expresso: Good, rich, creamy and all that jazz. |
![]() |
Cup Of Java: Near perfection, the best of the best, the impressive and worthy. |
