  Hi there, WordPress.com automatically removes the “www” from all URLs. Mapping the “www” subdomain is not supported.

  However, if you write your domain as http://www.morning-espresso.com (with the “www”), it will always be redirected to http://morning-espresso.com , so you can feel free to use either version when you direct visitors to your site.

  Redirecting the first version of your URL to the second version helps to ensure that search engines index your site properly. Please let me know if you have any questions about that!
