1 hr confidence: 
you can't be here without tasting expresso coffee in all its varieties and flavour nuances Explanation: A literal translation would do no justice to the deeper meaning of the original sentence IMHO. This is one possible rephrasing, which I believe will be more "accessible" to English speakers. But taste is everything in this context (intentional pun, guilty, Your Honour!). |

peer agreement (net): +1espresso coffee is a must, any which way you like it Explanation: Hmmm coffee!! :D -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2014-11-18 11:18:53 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I don't know what happened, but I meant to put a level 4 (High) under "confidence". -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2014-11-18 11:29:35 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Yes, admittedly "any which way" sounds a bit odd. How about "anyway you like it"? -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2014-11-18 11:39:25 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- *any way you like it -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 6 days (2014-11-24 09:53:21 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Taking inspiration from part of PJV10's suggestion... How about "Espresso coffee is a must, in any possible variation" |
