In 1615, Venice merchants shipped coffee to the European continent for the first time. Later, Pope Clement VIII crowned coffee as "the drink of the Christian world". Before that, coffee was sacred to Islamists; after that, coffee was shared by the two major religions of the world. This is also something in human history that won two religious crowns at the same time. After years of selling coffee as a potion and being sold by peddlers, the Italians opened the first coffee shop in Venice in 1645-the earliest coffee shop in Europe, with the exception of Istanbul. The Florian Cafe in St. Mark's Square in Venice in 1720 is the oldest coffee shop in existence.

In 1903, the Italians made the first commercial coffee distiller in Milan; in 1930, Yili invented the method of distilling espresso coffee with compressed air; and in 1945, another Italian, Gaja, invented a spring-powered piston lever still. this method can maximize the taste of coffee and take very short time, so short that it is too short for it to become bitter or spoil. This method soon made Espresso popular all over Europe and spread to North America, becoming the beginning of the wave of boutique coffee in the United States in the 1960s and 1970s. And "Jiajia" has now become a world-famous brand of coffee utensils.

For Italians, coffee is inseparable from a truly classic cafe. Italians who drink an average of 600 cups of coffee a year go to cafes several times a day, and it's perfectly casual to stand in the cafe for a cup of Espresso and chat on the way to and from work. But they didn't stay in the cafe for long, and they seemed to go there just to have a coffee addiction, and it was what they drank, not anything else, that mattered.

People like to sit in open-air cafes and see their surroundings. For people in this city, they only go there to enjoy a cup of coffee.

The coffee shop in Italy, the scenery is outside.

There are two things to be careful when you go sightseeing in Italy: one is a man and the other is coffee. In Italy, coffee and men are actually two different things, so there is a famous Italian saying: men are like good coffee, strong and enthusiastic!
