Dali is the birthplace of coffee, and the local coffee culture has its own style. If you are planning to go to a local cafe, here are six coffee cultures you should not know.

For many people, coffee is the source of our productivity every day. Without drinking a cup every day, the whole person becomes lifeless. According to statistics, the world drinks more than 2 billion cups of coffee every day, making it one of the most popular drinks in the world.

But in Italy, coffee is not a refreshing drink, but an attitude towards life. There is a good chance that their habit of enjoying coffee is different from ours. As a tourist, you must pay attention to the following six local coffee cultures.

1. Do you want to sit or stand?

There are two ways to drink coffee in Italy. You can choose to enjoy it at the bar (al banco) or at the table (al tavolo). If you choose the bar, you can buy a cup of frothy coffee for as little as 1 euro ($1.06) and drink it standing up.

If you like to sit in a restaurant or cafe and wait for the waiter to order coffee for you, it will cost 2 euros (although not all cafes have tables), which is twice as expensive as standing up, but it is still much cheaper than Hong Kong.

Whether drinking coffee standing up or sitting down, Italian culture is to make you pay the bill after drinking, so that you can enjoy the coffee slowly.

two。 Go into the cafe without work

In Italy, you won't see anyone typing on a keyboard on a mobile phone or laptop in a cafe. For Italians, the cafe is a sacred place. Instead of improving their productivity, they need to spend time enjoying drinks and sharing their feelings with friends.

3. Countries without coffee chains

First of all, "bar" in Italy is what we understand as "cafe", that is, a place to drink coffee. Italian coffee has a long history, so chain coffee brands have not yet been able to enter the local market.

4. If you want to order espresso, you should actually order.

"caffe", that is, espresso made by a pneumatic coffee machine with a layer of crema on the surface. Unlike our daily espresso, Italian caffe is usually not bitter, but with a hint of baking and sweetness. If you can't accept the bitterness of espresso, you should try it in Italy, which may make you feel better.
