I often get an espresso after lunch at our favorite Italian place because she has a selection of pretty neat cups she collected over the years.

There isn't much to an espresso.

My wife says espresso has less caffeine in than drip coffee.  I have not checked that out, it's possible.

I order "Cafe Americano" in France, which is an espresso with water added.

As for "should there be billionaires", a real question is, if not, how can that be changed?  Let's stipulate the US wants no one to have a billion in wealth, however determined.  How could be implement that legally?

What would be some possible repercussions if that were attempted?

congress could pass a law (they wouldn't), the Supreme court might find it unconstitutional (they would)

assets could be seized

Billionaires would flee the country (all of them)

Ergo, basiscally, it's a moot question.  Whatever one feels about them, they are going to stick around regardless.  Problem solved.
