Ilaria A. Feltre Nov 24, 2014:
@ Joanna Yes, thank you for the feedback
Janice Giffin Nov 21, 2014:
@ Joanna How about "prepared as you like it"? A little more formal perhaps.
Joanna M Cas (X) Nov 20, 2014:
Ilaria: 'any way you like it' doesn't sound natural to me I'm afraid. In the meantime I'm trying to find another suggestion altogether that's snappy!

I don't know what happened, but I meant to put a level 4 (High) under "confidence".

Yes, admittedly "any which way" sounds a bit odd. How about "anyway you like it"?

Taking inspiration from part of PJV10's suggestion...

How about "Espresso coffee is a must, in any possible variation"
Peer comment(s):
neutral writeaway : any which way you like it? /well, to your credit, it's a very enjoyable film

OK, I admit it it reminds me of a Clint Eastwood film. :D / Thanks Writeaway, still probably not the best choice of vocab.
agree Joanna M Cas (X) : agree with first part - it's the best on offer here. As for the second part after the comma, suggest 'however you like to take it' ('take it' as in 'how do you take your tea')

Thank you :) - How about "Any way you like it", for short?

you can't be here without tasting expresso coffee in all its varieties and flavour nuances

A literal translation would do no justice to the deeper meaning of the original sentence IMHO. This is one possible rephrasing, which I believe will be more "accessible" to English speakers.
But taste is everything in this context (intentional pun, guilty, Your Honour!).

We never run short of (fine) espresso coffee prepared any way you like it

This is a breakfast menu meant to be read by a hotel guest (whether actual or potential). That is why I have translated with a rather free hand.
Example sentence:

Funky locally owned cafe serving espresso coffee any way you like it.

nonstop espresso - every possible variation!

Not a literal translation but I felt that something more "punchy" might fit the bill!
