We mustn't let idiom win, else "would of, could of, should of" will slip in.

It's not good that so many people made mistake that it has become an acceptable spelling. 
I refer you to the book I mentioned at the Hut! :thup:

Anyhow, how can they be interchangeable. Surely if espresso means "to press", expresso means "without pressing" or something like that?

According to the dictionary, espresso came from the latin ex- and premere: meaning to press out.

| If one would click on the link on that page which leads to http://encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com/espresso it clearly states that: Quote: |
Espresso is frequently mispronounced/mis-spelled as expresso in the UK and US.
| So, no they are not interchangeable and there is only one right way. Even I, as non-coffee drinker know that. *)
