There are several different ways you can order your coffee here in Italy. The first time that I stopped at a cafe it was interesting because I ordered a coffee but ended up with a small cup of espresso. Going to a coffee shop back in the States, i.e. Starbucks, it is pretty common for people to get all sorts of drinks but they all significantly have more amounts of sugar and flavor added. Out here they are more about having espresso after their meals or early in the morning. Instead of all the different flavors they have different way to order their drinks. They all come without sugar so you have to add that yourself but you can also order it with milk, alcohol, or other stuff. Coffee shops out here are a lot more common then back in the States, you can find one on almost every corner and you will see a variety of them compared to just seeing Starbucks.

Don't forget that you must drink your caffe in three sips - no more, no less.
ReplyDeleteThat Italian espresso can really get your engines charged in the morning, can't it? No need for Red Bull when you can get their espresso! Will you ask for espresso when you get home? How many sugar packs do you put in it?
