Seems to be right. Not that the making fun of was accurate, but if you have a bunch of toxic men who think espresso puts hair on your chest, seeing folks drink drip coffee is probably embarrassing even though it’s objectively got more caffeine and a completely distinct flavor.
I don’t know if it was so much “Make fun of” as the sentiment was “They can’t handle it” similar to how certain cultures eat relatively spicy food tease those who can’t handle it. I don’t have direct evidence for that part, and my source was a friend of mine who was a foreign exchange student from France who explained it to me as such.
Right that’s the toxic masculinity/hair on your chest aspect. Espresso is in general easier on your stomach than drip and it’s certainly easier to drink (worst case it’s a shot). So even though the driver was toxic masculinity, as per usual that toxicity wasn’t even valid.
Ironically in the middle of being toxic the Europeans invented something called an Americano that Americans don’t drink, doesnt have the rich flavors of what it’s making fun of, has less caffeine than what it’s making fun of, and is actually harder to drink (because of the shit flavor) than the thing it waters down. It’s a massive dumb backfire driven by toxic masculinity from the romance states.

Americano is not (supposed to be) drip coffee, it’s a shot of espresso with added hot water.
Reread what I said
If it helps, assume I know what I’m talking about. That should steer you straight.
