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.
Exactly. Just heat up the milk. When milk is heated, the lactulose breaks down into glucose and galactose, which are sweeter than lactulose. No need for adding sugar.
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.
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?
Amazing, i just bought a n Italian moka and a quality grinder . Sometimes I use it 3 or 4 times to make the people try . And always carry two types of beans for fresh grounding.
In all Italy they don't say I want espresso they just say (un caffè per favore) (I want a coffee please). I usually say (un caffè lungo per favore) or ( un macchiato per favore) means espresso macchiato.
A quick rule before drinking, the foam should be brick colored. If it's pale it will likely be sour (under-extracted), if brown it will be like ash (over extracted).
True, but plenty of muricans like a good Americano, made with a couple Espresso shots. Actually plenty of coffee snobs in the good ol U-S-of-A. And Americano, basically a really flavorful cup of coffee with a lot more water than Italians can stand, have a point. Like our obsession with ice cubes (WE ARE ON POINT about our ice!), most Europeans don't understand how good Americano coffee is.
Not necessarily. Some Americans like "iced coffee" - and by that, I mean no sugar, no milk, no whatever...just ice and black coffee. Or ice and espresso with no milk.
After 30 years of seriously researching and studying and making coffee, roasting premium beans myself, using every conceivable type of preparation, I have concluded this: if it tastes good to you, drink it. Do not listen to coffee snobs, but be willing to try new things. Same with wine. At home, learn to make your own style, and always, always, always use quality beans that have been recently roasted. Beans that have been roasted more than a month ago, no matter how they have been stored, have lost a lot of the volatiles that make coffee taste good. Half the pleasure of coffee is delivered through your nose, not from your taste buds. Your nose detects the volatiles. And never, ever say that K-cup products ( Keurig ) or even Nespresso pods make coffee. They don't. They make a brown, hot liquid. It is NOT coffee.
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😂
@@Delusionalwanderluster coffee snobs in America generally don't go to Starbucks. It's the McDonald's of the coffee world. and let's not forget Starbucks is available in every continent except Antarctica.
@@dtoad88 Starbucks didn't do well in Australia, because Australians were used to good-quality coffee. Starbucks were forced to close a lot of stores. (But they are on the rise again now.)
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 ?
I lucked out when I found a cafe that can make a proper cappuccino. My fellow ‘Muricans do a double take when the barista calls my name and hands me that wee cup on a wee saucer BUT I DON’T CARE. It’s a darn good proper cappuccino.
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!
On a business trip to Milan I watched Italians and their espresso. They would stand around talking and stirring for several minutes, then drink it down and go back to work.
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.
@@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
That's nonsense, no one in Turkey 🇹🇷 thinks coffee grows there. And actually Turkish coffee, although traditional, isn't the coffee people usually drink.
@modo2213 yes, it is nonsense they they dunno. They also think coffee made it sand or charcoal tastes better even though there is a barrier in between called "cezve" and it is metal between the coffee and the heat source. They drink tea more cause it's cheaper and easier process.
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.
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.
At least it's a very decent coffee culture in Italy, try local coffee in Colombia (which does produce great coffee beans for export), it's total trash and they are arrogant about it. I know, I'm from there 😭
I think it’s better than arguing over religion or politics though. Usually no one goes to war over who makes better coffee or which is the best way to drink coffee😊
I'm constantly surprised by Americans whose job is as a professional presenter, who don't bother to learn the correct pronunciation of foreign words, Now, I know that some countries/languages are almost impossible for non-native speakers, but Italian?? This major city in Italy is not pronounced Triest, as if there's no 'e' at the end. It's Triestay!
Italians, like they tend to do, have figured out exactly how to get the absolute best flavor out of coffee. By years of testing it's the fullest flavor just before the bitterness when made properly into an Espresso. Then basically in a hurry to get to work, they drink down this small amount of fabulous flavor in a quick gulp and se ne vanno! It's a shame really. Peccato.
Even the first café in Vienna was founded by Polish. There is no such thing as „Austrian or Italian way to drink coffee. Europe doesn't produce coffee, you drink it however you want in every country.
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.
Hi @PaulH1971! City names or other designations are pronounced differently in other languages. Of course, Meggin could also pronounce it originally in Italian ;)
No one is forcing you to drink it like an Italian, as well as no one is forcing you to watch a video like this. At this point what is the sense for you to watch this video if you only like to do it your own way?

And which machine did you get?
Don’t answer it’s a trap 😂
A properly extracted espresso with a special/micro-lot grade coffee tastes very sweet, savory and chocolatey rich.
sugar just hides natural taste of diferent types of coffies
Exactly. Just heat up the milk. When milk is heated, the lactulose breaks down into glucose and galactose, which are sweeter than lactulose. No need for adding sugar.

Little Italy is not where I would go to find the best coffee, including espresso, in NYC?
The birthplace of coffee is Ethiopia and Yemen was the first country to introduce a coffee culture.
I like this new presenter. Enjoy your new format for this short story 🤠

I love coffee culture much so i have to visit Trieste one time. My favorite is traditionell turkish coffee and italian Cappuccino.
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 🥰
Miami is now on my list!
Real Italians and real cappuccino 😊❤

When she said that Triese is the "unofficial capital" of expresso, I felt for Naples, which (rightly) pride herself to be the true capital.
