It is known that in Italy people adore coffee. Italians know how to prepare a cup of delicious coffee and ready to share their knowledge and skills with you.
Learn the difference between Lungo and Latte
In Italian the word ‘latte’ means ‘milk’. If you ask for a latte, the waiter will bring you a glass of fresh milk. If you came to drink coffee, you should then ask for a ‘caffe latte’. Caffe Latte is a lungo with some milk added to the main drink. The word ‘lungo’ means ‘long’. The drink is made of espresso made with more water. Finally, ‘ristretto’, meaning ‘restricted’ – that’s an espresso with less water.
Milk is for breakfast
A cup of coffee with milk is a great way to start your day. Use a milk frother, if you like. Some of the best are Aeroccino and Nespresso. In the afternoon in Italy people drink coffee without adding milk. Italians drink plain coffee and do not take sugar. If unsweetened coffee is not your thing, try the Nespresso Variations collection.
