If you like your coffee black I suspect you won't mind a bit; if you don't, just a bit of Nutella on top will balance out the bitterness, or you can simply omit the espresso altogether and just have chocolatey chocolate pancakes.
I suspect my tea drinker's fate was set on the night of busy studying at University when I drank lots of strong blackcoffee to stay awake... though I did well in the exam my stomach said no more to coffee and so I slowly turned to tea.
