I get up late, have an espresso, and immediately start work. I try to get roughly caught up on email before I leave the house, then if I need to write anything or review a complex deal, I do that, and then I head to the office and work on my top few priorities for the day. I try to schedule my meetings in the afternoon.

The one thing I don't consume during 'Today' - which surprises many people - is coffee. I find that a lot of water helps wake me up, without the buzz. I love coffee, but usually reserve a double espresso as an afternoon pick-me-up before settling in to do the weekend 'Nightly News.

To me, every kitchen appliance is useful and nothing's overrated. When I look at my little espresso machine, I don't see coffee. I see a steaming valve as an opportunity to make amazing creme brulee.

Until now, I've been a kind of binge-writer - I'll carve out five or six hours on a weekend day and make a large container of espresso and just bang out a lot of words.

I honestly always thought my Master's in Fine Arts would get me further in the acting world than knowing how to work an espresso machine!

Espresso is much stronger than regular drip coffee, often with a bolder taste.

Intensity Level

An espresso is typically served in small amounts, like a shot, not a full cup.

Serving Size

Espresso is integral to Italian culture, often associated with a quick coffee break.

Cultural Icon

Espresso is not just coffee, it's a specific brewing technique using high pressure.

Not Just Coffee

The water used in espresso is very hot but not boiling to prevent a burnt taste.

Water Temperature

Espresso requires a very fine grind of coffee to extract the right flavor and crema.

 Arrest us? We were nowhere to be seen. We were like three blocks away, observing it from our espresso bar. Arrest the shoppers, with kids? Doesn't make sense.

 So again, I am a believer in the expressive. I have never been a fan of the neutral. I don't like neutrality in life, in anything. I think expression. And it's like espresso coffee, you know, you take the essence of the coffee. That's what expression is. It's been missing in much of the architecture,

 Now some people will tell me that I'm one of those individuals who can have an espresso with dinner, and I fall asleep fine, and I can stay asleep. But even if that's true, it turns out that caffeine can actually decrease the amount of deep, non-rapid eye movement sleep that we have,
