GOOD MORNING! TAKE A COFFE!

 PRENDIAMO UN CAFFÈ! Cafe Italian as a culture.

 Let's have a coffee, please! A caffè (or caffè normale) is simply an espresso,a brief yet potent dose of black coffee that is appropriate at any time. Italians frequently drink coffee after meals or in the afternoon as a pick-me-up.

For a double shot of espresso, you can order

a caffè doppio, however this is uncommon 

in Italy. Simply stop by your favorite barista

 several times a day if you need an extra boost

 of caffeine; you won't be alone.

  MIX IT UP or BLEND IT. 

Italians have made a number of modifications to the potent espresso over the years. Try something new by ordering them at Lavazza in Eataly.

Caffè macchiato :

 Macchiato or White coffee or Macchiato coffee

For the softer side of coffee, enjoy this espresso “marked” with a splash of frothy milk. Unlike the breakfast drinks, this lightly milky caffè can be enjoyed as frequently as caffè normale.

 Caffè corretto :

Coffee with alcohol

Literally translated to “corrected coffee,” this drink features espresso with a splash of alcohol, such as grappa or sambuca.

Caffè americano :

American coffee

 After trying drip coffee in the United States, Italians decided to offer tourists a taste of home. Their interpretation: espresso diluted with plenty of hot water.

 Caffè lungo :

Long coffee

This “long coffee” comprises espresso with a splash of hot water but is stronger than the americano.

To blend in: To-go cups are not common in Italy because the coffee experience is meant to be shared with others and in moderation.

What Is the Difference Between Whole Bean and Pre-ground Coffee?

Bean-shaped seeds of coffee are harvested. Whole bean coffee is produced when coffee beans are roasted and packaged for retail sale. This type of freshly ground coffee is recommended because it has a better flavor than pre-ground coffee. Pre-ground coffee is described as coffee that has been ground or minced into granules that are either coarse or fine.

The questions I asked myself

   Coffee culture in Italy  Our nation, which imports roughly 8 million bags of coffee annually, has made coffee an essential element of its culture over time. The use of the moka coffee maker at home and the espresso machine in bars, restaurants, and workplaces are the key factors associated with coffee consumption in Italy.     1. What do Italians associate with coffee? The cup of coffee is a representation of the Italian character, representing joy, camaraderie, relaxation, and vigor, but it also serves as a significant economic driver for the Belpaese.       2. Why do Italians enjoy coffee so much? primarily at breakfast, mid-morning, and right after meals. BECAUSE? Italians drink coffee for a variety of reasons, including: to relax (53%), to find the energy needed to face the day (58%), for flavor (51%), out of habit (30%), and as part of a ritual (37%).       3. What is the coffee city? Trieste, the city of coffee, is special...

SHOULD WATER BE DRINK BEFORE OR AFTER COFFEE? Why are the glass of water and the coffee served at the same time?

 When we enter a café, we are always given water before the coffee.  There is a reason behind this practice. Water is used to cleanse the tongue which allows you to better savor the tastes of foods that are ingested later, but it is also used to cleanse the taste buds of flavors you do not like. The small glass of water and the coffee ar  served  at the same time, but to enjoy a good coffee, the water should be drunk first. Although it is customary to drink water before coffee, whether you do so still or sparkling is a matter of preference. Science, however, offers a suggestion that clarifies the distinction. The sparkling water's bubbles would aid in better rinsing the tongue of the flavors and scents of the previous meal. The taste buds may be slightly anesthetized if their effect is too severe. Instead, using natural water, which is more delicate, would provide a complimentary taste of coffee.   Although it is customary to drink water before coffee, whether y...
