Italian Coffee
Italian Coffee posts cover a daily ritual that runs to clear rules. Articles look at the espresso served at the bar counter rather than at a table, the cappuccino reserved for breakfast and considered odd after eleven, the macchiato with a spot of milk, the caffe americano that exists mainly for tourists, the moka pot at home, and the difference between a bar in a small town and a stand-up coffee in a Milan station. There are also notes on the southern preference for darker roasts, on the coffee culture of Naples and Trieste, and on the way coffee is paid for at the cassa first.
