Italy is the country that drinks coffee most frequently in the world. Coffee shops are always open from morning till night, and there is no time for desolation. In a country that cannot be conquered by even large coffee chains, the deep coffee culture makes "drinking coffee" almost an ancient and sacred ritual. Therefore, there are some things you must know about drinking coffee in Italy. Let's learn about the coffee drinking habits of the local people and get a glimpse of the traditional Italian coffee culture.

1. The value of a cup of coffee is only 25 seconds.

When you go to Italy, you will find that many cafes do not even have seats, and everyone drinks up their coffee standing up. Espresso Espresso means "fast" in Italian, so this kind of coffee is not only made quickly and extracted in a short time through high concentration, but also drunk quickly-Italians usually require guests to finish a cup of espresso within 25 seconds, because in their opinion, the best state of a cup of coffee can only last 25 seconds after brewing, and then the aroma and essence will evaporate, making the coffee lose its color. So drink it as soon as possible.

Few Italians will be called Espresso, as long as a simple "un caff è", there will be a cup of hot espresso. The price of a cup of Espresso usually ranges from 0.70 euros to 1.20 euros. If you want to sit down, you will need an additional seat fee of 1.50 euros to 2.50 euros.

But for espresso, Qianjie Coffee thinks that if it can accept strong coffee, it is a good choice. After all, espresso will enlarge the flavor of coffee, and you can taste the sour, sweet and bitter coffee more clearly in espresso. The front street coffee is made of [Colombia] + [Brazil], the bright but soft acidity in the mouth is charming, the nutty flavor begins to emerge in the middle, and the caramel in the end is very long-lasting. If you like to drink milk coffee, this recipe is also a good choice. This kind of coffee is sour and sweet. The sweetness of this coffee is improved after adding milk, and the flavor of cookies when it is cold is also very surprising.

two。 No milk after noon

In Italy, coffee with milk can only be drunk in the morning, because Italians feel that the milk and foam in Cappincino will increase the burden of digestion.

If you order a cup of coffee with milk at a coffee shop other than in the morning, it will cause people to stare.

3. Don't order coffee other than Italian coffee.

In Italy, you can order espresso such as Espresso, Cappincino, Caff è macchiato, but it's best not to try Latte or other seasoned coffee. Because Latte means milk in Italian, they may serve a glass of milk impolitely, or when you order a glass of Americano, they may add a cup of Espresso to a large cup of hot water in front of you.

Moreover, Italians like to drink simple coffee, and they are disgusted with other coffees such as hazelnut and caramel.

Italians are very proud of their coffee culture. In the face of the attack of the global coffee chain, Italy still holds its ground and has established the International Italian Coffee Research Institute (INEI) to promote and protect the traditional espresso culture. The president of the organization wrote on its website: "International coffee chains are spreading and publicizing that they are serving espresso, but behind our coffee is a unique and unreplicable culture."
