I’ll level up the pedantry. In French, it’s spelled expresso but still pronounced with a “ss” sound because that’s how it works in French. So they aren’t just probably mispronouncing the Italian word, they’re also possibly misreading the French word.
You’re incorrect, “expresso” in French is pronounced /ɛk.spʁɛ.so/.
I’m a snobby barista, so I stick to the more Italian-like prononciation even when speaking French, but the French word expresso is pronounced as its written.

I’m inclined to listen to the three unrelated French people I know on the pronunciation. Idk, maybe a regional thing 🤷
