English term or phrase: as one's enjoyment
This special focus is particularly important as one's enjoyment of espresso involves several senses; we use sight to appraise the quality of the crema layer, scent to savour the aroma, touch to perceive its velvety effect on the palate and taste to appreciate the flavour

agree  Marion Feildel (X): "Déguster un espresso, c'est savourer en toute conscience, mêler plaisir des sens et jouissance intellectuelle, reconnaître les différentes nuances de l'arôme et du goût, voyager dans les souvenirs et dans l'imaginaire".

car savourer


Explanation:
Définition du Larousse :
Savourer :
Déguster un aliment, une boisson avec lenteur pour en apprécier pleinement la saveur : Savourer un vin à petites gorgées.

Dans ce contexte, savourer me paraît un bon équivalent à "enjoy".
