Since the opening of the first cafe in Venice in the 17th century, coffee set culture has become one of the undisputed protagonists in Italian culture.

According to the Italian news agency ANSA, Italians drink 600 cups of coffee per person per year, ranking sixth in the world, behind the United States, Germany, France, Spain and Britain. In addition, the output of espresso coffee machine in Italy ranks first in the world.

The coffee culture in Europe has a long history, and Italy is the most popular coffee. However, the coffee we are talking about here is not world-famous instant coffee such as Nestl é and Maxwell. In their eyes, these "fast food" powders are not even coffee.

Real Italian coffee not only pays attention to the choice of raw materials, grinding technology and coffee cups, but also brewing coffee has become a craft in Italy. Such a complex and delicate process has given birth to Italy's unique coffee culture and numerous types of coffee. The coffee that people often drink in Italy is distilled and has a strong flavor, similar to the espresso coffee of China's "Kungfu Tea". There is also dotted with milk foam, fragrant cappuccino. In addition, coffee with many other ingredients, such as chocolate, cream, wine and even whisky, is more common in Italy.

With such a wide variety of coffee, Italians naturally do not have too low requirements for coffee pots. If you walk into the kitchen of any Italian family, you can always see an octagonal, exquisitely made coffee pot about 30 centimeters high. This is the famous mocha pot, which makes exquisite mocha pots that can exert the aroma and romance of coffee to the extreme. At the same time, it is also an exquisite decoration. In addition to the popular coffee pot, there are also mocha pots decorated with various patterns and original designs. However, whatever the type, these mocha pots have one thing in common, that is, the coffee brewed with them is particularly fragrant.

With such a rich and colorful coffee culture, it is not surprising that Italians love their own coffee.
