r/Coffee (about 2.5M members, directory rank #447) is a general coffee discussion room. Espresso machine technique and tea each belong elsewhere when that is what you mean.
See also Coffee vs espresso on SubMouse. Raw directory related names that only share weak text (for example funnyvideos) are omitted.
How to choose
Stay on Coffee for wide coffee talk. Use espresso for machines, shots and espresso gear culture, and tea when the drink is tea rather than coffee.
