INSIDE ITALY: HOW TO ASK FOR A COFFEE LIKE A TRUE ITALIAN

☕️Don't worry, we'll teach you how to order coffee like a true Italian: What to say, how to order it, when to drink it, and how to avoid rookie mistakes.
🥄 Here are 10 essential tips to get your coffee fix the Italian way:
🍵Espresso Only, Please In Italy, "un caffè" means espresso. There's no need to specify; it's the default. Ask for "un caffè" and you'll blend right in.
🕘 Timing is Everything Italians rarely drink cappuccinos or lattes after 11 AM.
🏃 These are seen as breakfast drinks. In the afternoon or evening, stick to espresso or "un caffè macchiato" (an espresso with a splash of milk).
😋 Drink It at the Bar Coffee is typically consumed quickly at the bar, standing up. Sip, enjoy, and go. Sitting down can be a more leisurely (and pricier) experience.
🍂 Skip the Flavors Italian coffee culture is minimalist. Syrups and flavored shots aren't common. Stick to simple, quality coffee.
👋 Know the Variations If you want something other than a straight espresso, try these:
Caffè macchiato: Espresso with a little milk.
Caffè lungo: A "long" espresso with extra water. The ‘long’ part refers to the time a lungo takes to extract and the volume of the finished drink. A lungo requires a longer extraction time than an espresso and produces a coffee drink that’s about the same size as a double espresso.
Caffè ristretto: A stronger, smaller espresso.
🥐Pair it with a Pastry In the morning, enjoy your coffee with a cornetto (similar to a croissant) for the full Italian breakfast experience.
🚫 No to-go Cups Coffee is enjoyed in the moment. You won’t find Italians walking around with large paper cups.
