Coffee culture is obviously different from country to country. Did you notice it when you were traveling? Most of Hong Kong people's habit of drinking coffee is to make a cup of coffee at the company, or to sigh a cup of coffee in a coffee shop in their spare time. Authentic coffee cultures in different countries are equally interesting. For example, Italians like to drink coffee standing up, French people sigh, and so on. Coffee fans and friends who like to travel should also learn more.

Italian coffee culture

Many people know that espresso is very famous in the world. Earlier, when Gianni Di Rosso, the international coffee master of Italian Coffee Segafredo, came to Hong Kong, he shared with us some characteristics of Italian culture. It turns out that Italian coffee shops are all called Bar, in addition to coffee, you can also have a glass of wine, what is more interesting is that many local people add wine to their coffee in the morning, such as Corretto, which is made by mixing Espresso with wine similar to brandy.

Drink coffee quickly

Espresso is the essence of espresso, using steam pressure to extract the coffee. The name of the drink means "very fast". Unlike people in other countries who sit down and "sigh" coffee, they mostly have a culture of standing up and drinking a cup of coffee quickly and leaving in a few minutes. They also like to have another glass of Espresso after dinner for dinner, or for them, caffeine is already in the blood and there is no problem of not sleeping at all.

The taste of Chinese and Western coffee is quite different.

Gianni Di Rosso said that in addition to being a coffee expert, most Italians have always liked to drink Espresso,Espresso, which is the basis of all coffee and is best able to drink the original taste of coffee. Of course, the taste of coffee varies from place to place. For example, most Hong Kong people like to drink Latte, Cappuccino, Mocha and so on, while few people like to taste the taste of Espresso. However, more and more Hong Kong people are familiar with foreign coffee culture, and perhaps more people will like the original taste of coffee in 10 years' time.

French coffee culture

French people drink coffee is a consistent local life culture, taste! Instead of drinking coffee quickly, they taste it slowly. There are too many open-air cafes where France can sit down and drink coffee, but it may take half a day to drink it.

The old shop is the gathering place of the elite.

In Paris, France, there are many famous century-old shops, and the guests in the coffee shop are even more famous masters. Les Deux Magots, for example, once had a reputation as a hub of literary and intellectual elites in Paris, and surrealist artists Simon Bova, Sartre, Hemingway, Camus and Picasso were also regulars.

Vienna coffee culture

Viennese are particularly fond of sweets, and you will find that there is a Viennese coffee in many coffee shops. This is probably Austria's favorite coffee, artistic and sweet to become this cup of coffee, filled with fresh cream and chocolate paste patterns, both delicious and "camera first drink" culture.

Japanese coffee

The Japanese are best at taking the strengths of various countries and improving them into more "perfect" products, and the same is true of coffee culture. In Southeast Asia, because of the weather, in addition to traditional coffee, another popular thing is iced coffee. The addition of milk and chocolate flavors has made a lot of changes in coffee, and at the same time, it has also introduced a lot of coffee desserts, making Japanese coffee culture an imitation object in Southeast Asia.
