  • Here you have 5 rules on how to drink an espresso like a true Italian:
    N1: Italians rarely take the coffee to go! Espresso is a pleasure so you need to take your time and drink it sitting down or if in a rush you can drink it at the counter.
    N2: Always drink a glass of water before your espresso, it will help to clean your palate
    and appreciate all the flavors of a good coffee
    N3: DO NOT lick the spoon, that goes against the rules of etiquette, just leave it
    on the side when you're done using it.
    N4: Should you stir the coffee clockwise or counterclockwise? None of the two!
    you should always mix it from top to bottom to distribute well aromas and flavors.
    N5: Wet the edge of the cup with a little coffee, if you want to act like a true Neapolitan,
    that reduces the difference of temperature between your lips and the coffee so you won’t burn your tongue.

    I remember visiting Italy when I was very young. The old men in the village cafe always had water on the side. Those espresso machines were hand pumped, of course. No electric pump. That was a time when a Barista was not about show and being poncey it was about forearm power and speed. Those old me would not put up with anything else.

    Thank you. Good tips. Contrary to comments here. You should listen to people who have more experience, passion and involvement with European food and drink.
    Slurping down a jumbo cola and bigMac doesn’t exactly have the same technique for enjoying a more complex drink. Folding the coffee rather than stirring makes sense, as does wetting the edge of the Demi tasse with coffee. Cleansing the palate with water, yes. I plan to remember these tips when I go to Little Italy in Toronto.
    As a teenager backpacking in Italy, I stormed back up to the counter with my espresso cup demanding a real coffee instead of a bit of tar. They laughed and called out “ Americano” and someone brought out a pot of hot water to add to my espresso. A joke on me. In America Starbucks made an “Americano” a special coffee. In Italy it was a tourist mistake.

"You eat, you walk and then you have a coffee".

    The strongest shot of espresso you got, or even a caffè doppio. I prefer the glass of water on the side. In The Netherlands where I live only specialized coffee bars run by real baristas serve the real deal tastewise. Many, if not most regular Dutch pubs and restaurants serve a pretty poor espresso, let alone lungo.
