Beverages in Italy- Coffee

A cup of coffee or espresso is a popular choice among many in Rome in the morning before they go about their day. While a stop at the bar on the way to work or class in the morning is about more than just the drink itself, no one can deny the affordability and great taste of their coffer drink of choice. An espresso can be purchased for roughly 70 cents at the right place. It is also funny how these drinks are served. The espresso comes in a tiny cup, with a tiny saucer and a tiny spoon. The espresso, strong by nature, seems especially strong in Roman bars. Other popular coffee drinks include café latte, cappuccino and macchiato. Both drinks are reasonably priced at around a Euro. One important note: when ordering and what be a “latte” in America, be sure to ask for a café latte. If you simply ask for a latte, you would be ordering plain milk, which is latte in Italian.
