Surprised more people aren't choosing Keep it simple. It seems like the practical answer. The beautiful constraint is probably the real story.

Honestly, this is a little too vague to be useful. This is more useful on a tired rainy evening than on a perfect day.

This sounds sensible, though I would need to test it myself. That is the kind of detail beginners miss. The simple version is usually the one people actually repeat.

Helpful and not preachy, which is rare. My friend tried it in Lagos and had the opposite result. A squeeze of lemon would probably wake it up.

The context helps. Without it I would have assumed the opposite. I am curious whether espresso still feels good next month.
