- In the Italian city of Trieste, coffee holds a special status. It’s home to the Mediterranean’s biggest coffee port and hosts one of Italy’s biggest coffee brands. Some coffee varieties have very special names here and locals are known to drink copious amounts of coffee and follow a certain etiquette when consuming this beloved drink. Euromaxx reporter Meggin Leigh met barista and coffee sommelier Marco Bazzara to learn what makes a good espresso and how to drink it.

I bought a proper espresso machine a few weeks ago and was surprised to find out that when I steamed my milk it naturally sweetened it and there was no need to add sugar to my drink. There really is a big difference in properly made espresso with proper coffee.
And which machine did you get?
Napoli is the capital, where they have lever machines everywhere, you need a lever machine to get the best results. As for espresso you need to stir it first to make it sweeter. No sugar!
It's 6 AM watching this vid with my cup of coffee ☕️ 😍
If I got this right you need to drink that double shot espresso (which is not very hot and of a relatively small quantity) slowly, rolling each sip in your tongue while you meet your need for sweetness with a sweet pastry and not sugar in the coffee. Is this right?
Perfetto
Yes! Meggin Leigh is back! I miss her on DW EuroMaxx
I don't normally praise the presenter, but I really liked her
I’m Cuban and live in Miami I have been to Italy seven times and I enjoy the coffee there just like here in Miami I LOVE IT 🥰
In North America folks are used to drink watery coffee , add sugar and artificial sweeteners .
No wonder why they have 17 000 Starbucks in UsA alone.
Starbucks has excellent hazelnut syrup and whipped cream. As for coffe, I would go somewhere else.
@jojoanggono3229 I think maybe Starbucks has whipped cream from local suppliers, kind of like some fast food places. KFC, for example, has some premade side dishes that aren't even made by them and shipped to all locations. Rather, they go with a more local supplier than can make them a side of macaroni for example. KFC has macaroni salad in Canada and on one end of Canada the macaroni salad will taste completely different from the other end of Canada.
So, when it comes to Starbucks whipped cream it's horrible around here as I don't think they make it themselves. The Starbucks whipped cream is all thick and oily around here. It leaves an oil slick on your tongue and it's digusting.
I like this new presenter. Enjoy your new format for this short story 🤠
The taste is in the tongue of the holder ❤🎉
I have to say, you can get some decent espresso at Italian joints in New York City where I live, but the stuff in Trieste is truly outstanding. That said, Naples and Milan are right up there with Trieste; Rome not so much for reasons I can’t understand. And BTW, as for the USA, Miami Florida probably has the best espresso outside of Manhattan’s Little Italy.
Look at the serving seize Americans, go to a beautiful coffeehouse, sit down, relax enjoy the beautiful room, talk to your friends and have a good time. I never ever understood the need of coffee to go in those silly cups. I am not bashing, I like Americans but sometimes if you think about certain customs you don't understand why.
I'm Brazilian and I don't understand it as well… I have lived in Canada and now in USA and it never made sense for me how north Americans like so much this big cups of watered coffee on the go. Went to Starbucks once to see what the hype was about and I was not impressed at all, expensive bad quality watered coffee as well😂
@@thalitadamacena Exactely, As Brazilian you are used to good coffee I think:-)
Muricans: Drinking lukewarm milkshakes with loads of Sirup and a hint of coffee taste
I am more of a tea drinker I rarely drink coffee
I love espresso, but whenever I travel to Europe, I feel those industrial machines have murdered the coffee culture in Europe. I simply don't feel the fresh coffee smell and taste anymore. And all coffee, wherever you travel in Europe, tastes, and smells the same industrial flavor. I still brew my coffee through manual filter, with the kind of coffee I am assured of its freshness.
I can recommend you my favourite if you ever happen to find yourself in Gent Belgium. Perhaps this one can change your mind.
@@hansmemling2311 I would definitely keep that in mind. Thank you. You could also share your favorite place here.
It’s actually the Italian over-roasted espresso coffee that “killed” the coffee taste… Fortunately there are enough nice roasters and coffee shops all around europe :) but yes, when you walk into a random coffee shop it might not be good…
@@alparslanesmer4251Way (that is the name of the place) in Gent. As the commenter above my comment also suggested: espresso might not be the best choice in Europe. There are definitely more amazing coffee shops all around Europe.
Try to get arabica single origin, medium roast, and manually brewed. I never trust those dark roasted beans, like they are hiding something behind substandard beans.
I like this video ☕
No cafe from a company in Seattle. 👍
Yeah, a company that only use darker roast and the darkest roast 😂
Oh they sell coffee?
Napoli è la città del caffe!
I have been there while on military duty , it is such a beautiful place . What brand of coffee whole bean in the US is best to have the flavor they have ?
None
Lavazza and illy I guess

The cappuccino in Trieste is really not what a "normal Italian" cappuccino is
☕️❤

Most of the Turkish🇹🇷 people who enjoy Turkish 🇹🇷coffee in Turkey🇹🇷 do not know Turkey🇹🇷 does not grow coffee beans.
I have to say, the storytelling in this video was exceptional. It's not easy to take a complex topic and make it engaging and relatable, but this RUclipsr did just that. The way they structured the video, using personal anecdotes and examples to illustrate their points, was really effective in driving the message home. This video was both educational and entertaining, and it's a prime example of how powerful storytelling can be.
Great in TRIESTE, but Espresso is a NoGo - it's called Caffee and special is "in B" ... 😊😉✌🏻🇦🇹🇪🇺☺️
Professional roaster? 😂 What he's a stand-up comedian?
☝🏻You know that what you call "italian" coffee culture, actually is Austrian Coffee culture☝🏻!!
Do you realize how much more my espresso would cost if it was described as "Austrian"? 😊
in canada we put a lot of cream and a lot of sugar in our coffee
lmao
I must be Canadian then 😉
I love espresso and cold brew.. I can ignore food but not coffee
The guy is funny pretty much every city all Italians drink coffee every day
hmmm...... you paid for it, drink it how you like.
Well it's about drinking it in a way that gives you the best experience. Nothing personal or mean once someone isn't condescending and mean about it.
It's like saying you paid for music lessons. I'll play the piano/said instrument whatever way I want. Well maybe you shouldn't as if you don't listen to anyone you might play it incorrectly and be ignorant.
I paid for this prized singlemalt Scotch so don't try and stop me from enjoying it with Coke.
@@blinsmaslom3263 just reading it makes my heart break 💔💔💔😭😭😭
@@blinsmaslom3263 exactly !
@@aaronruss6331 who decides on that " best experience"? You? Does that extend to clothes? Relationships? Maybe she likes her coffee sweet, and not plain. It makes me laugh you preach about ignorance XD
In 🇫🇷 we say expresso but in 🇮🇹 we say espresso
Contrived. Drink it the way YOU like it.
Silliness, pure silliness.
I thought he was going to say people mispronounce Trieste…
Too many arbitrary rules. Enjoy your cuppa your way, people! Life's too short
The best coffee is grown on Italian coffee plantations.

In Colombia
LOL what? Dude telling me not to add sugar in espresso but says that his "perfect" blend contains 40% Robusta? Teach yourself about good coffee before teaching others...Also, most of Italian brands produce overburnt beans without good aroma.
he will irritated by coffee serve in starbuck
Lol, most of the Italian coffee tastes like ***… Over-roasted low quality robusta blend prepared on old machines that do not get lots of quality service… It is really difficult to find good coffee in Italy (I visited Milano, Roma and Napoli last summer and it was a pain to find nice coffee shops that serve espresso from quality single-origin coffee beans. And of course it will not cost 1-1.5 euros per cup). Not impossible, but difficult, as most of the places will serve you the “traditional” one. But kudos to Italian roasters and shop owners who really care about what they serve to the customers (but when you see Illy, Segafredo, Lavazza etc. - run away…)
Fuge, fuge 🏃♀
Thank you ..GRAZIE for airing-out this needed laundry!!
I was hoping I wasn’t alone in this.
A large proportion of espresso i would get in Italy is actually not very excellent ; in fact, it’s incredibly… consistently… mediocre.
yet, they still think they are “the best”.
They’ve basically self congratulated themselves…annnnddd then allowed themselves to get left behind.
When I do find the odd Italian shop that goes out of their way to extract for flavors and not for over-developed roasting artifacts, I do try to have a conversation with the barista, to confirm it’s indeed intentional. and they invariably lean in, & give me that “ knowing” nod ;-)
(almost invariably they admit they have left the country at some point to spread their coffee wings elsewhere, before repatriating..)
@vlado29 Please tell us how clueless you are without telling us how clueless you are.
@@pushslicefound the condescending coffee expert... do you have more lies you can entertain us with?
@@walter_the_danger
It’s not a lie if it’s true.
and yes, I am a coffee expert. Took me a while to get there, but hey, we all have our own talents. I am a SCA-certified roaster and Q grader.
I’m sure you have some talents of your own.
No surprise its Trieste, it used to be an Austrian city. Everyone knows world capital of coffee is Vienna.
only AMERICANO!!!
This barista is a joke. First, he tells this woman not to use any sugar on the coffee and then she calmly tells her that their coffee is 40% robusta ..
Coffee the commodity of the so call 3rd world…what will happen when those countries “wake up “ and start charging the fair amount, a commodity with high demand will be very expensive.
Portuguese espressos are better
😂
All the espressos I had in Portugal had poor quality burnt beans and served cold.
