Authentic Italian coffee should be drunk standing up.

Italians love coffee, so cafes are springing up everywhere. But you may not know that authentic Italian coffee is drunk standing up.

It turns out that Italy is narrow and densely populated, with an inch of land and gold. If so many cafes were seated, it would not only occupy an area of land but also cost money. So they chose to stand up to drink, anyway, the authentic Italian steam coffee is extremely strong, refreshing and refreshing, even standing for a while does not feel very tired. Another advantage of drinking coffee standing up is to drink and go quickly to make room for the customers behind.

The coffee that Italians often order is called "ESPRESSO", which means "fast". It takes only 10 seconds to make a cup. In fact, this custom is only 60 years old: the machine for making "fast" coffee was invented by the Italian Achigasha in 1946. "Quick" coffee must use a small glass, shallow pour a small half of the cup. Generally speaking, people who taste for the first time can only drink two drinks a day, otherwise the heart will be overwhelmed. I would also like to remind you that authentic Italian coffee is not served with milk. Coffee with milk is sold only in shops that serve breakfast. These shops all have seats, but most Italians think that they are not really cafes.

The Italian concept of "fine life" makes the matter of drinking coffee extremely complicated, even close to artistic. To feel this characteristic, you have to walk into the coffee bar. In a coffee bar, ordering coffee needs to follow strict procedures. First of all, you have to pay at the cashier and tell the cashier what kind of coffee you want; then you pass through the seams with the receipt and go to the bar to tell the waiter what kind of coffee you want to drink. The shrewd waiters move lightly and will soon bring you a cup of fragrant coffee. At this point, you may find that most Italians drink coffee standing up. At this point, if a waiter says to you, "Please sit down first and I'll bring you the coffee later." That's a trap, because it costs extra to sit down and receive service. Because of this, many coffee bars located in residential areas have no chairs at all.

I have personally seen the Italian gendarmes enter the coffee bar with submachine guns and stop here for a moment. The coffee bar is a social place for Italians, and a lot of news spread in the coffee bar. If you want to know about Italy, coffee bar is the first lesson, but you have to learn to act like a local.
