In the Italian city of Trieste, coffee holds a special status. It’s home to the Mediterranean’s biggest coffee port and hosts one of Italy’s biggest coffee brands. Some coffee varieties have very special names here and locals are known to drink copious amounts of coffee and follow a certain etiquette when consuming this beloved drink. Euromaxx reporter Meggin Leigh met barista and coffee sommelier Marco Bazzara to learn what makes a good espresso and how to drink it.

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.

And which machine did you get?

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!

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?

In North America folks are used to drink watery coffee , add sugar and artificial sweeteners . No wonder why they have 17 000 Starbucks in UsA alone.

Starbucks has excellent hazelnut syrup and whipped cream. As for coffe, I would go somewhere else.

@reptilionsarehere Ай бұрын

@jojoanggono3229 I think maybe Starbucks has whipped cream from local suppliers, kind of like some fast food places. KFC, for example, has some premade side dishes that aren't even made by them and shipped to all locations. Rather, they go with a more local supplier than can make them a side of macaroni for example. KFC has macaroni salad in Canada and on one end of Canada the macaroni salad will taste completely different from the other end of Canada. So, when it comes to Starbucks whipped cream it's horrible around here as I don't think they make it themselves. The Starbucks whipped cream is all thick and oily around here. It leaves an oil slick on your tongue and it's digusting.

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 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.

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.

I have to say, the storytelling in this video was exceptional. It's not easy to take a complex topic and make it engaging and relatable, but this KZfaqr did just that. The way they structured the video, using personal anecdotes and examples to illustrate their points, was really effective in driving the message home. This video was both educational and entertaining, and it's a prime example of how powerful storytelling can be.

Lol, most of the Italian coffee tastes like ***… Over-roasted low quality robusta blend prepared on old machines that do not get lots of quality service… It is really difficult to find good coffee in Italy (I visited Milano, Roma and Napoli last summer and it was a pain to find nice coffee shops that serve espresso from quality single-origin coffee beans. And of course it will not cost 1-1.5 euros per cup). Not impossible, but difficult, as most of the places will serve you the “traditional” one. But kudos to Italian roasters and shop owners who really care about what they serve to the customers (but when you see Illy, Segafredo, Lavazza etc. - run away…)

Thank you ..GRAZIE for airing-out this needed laundry!! I was hoping I wasn’t alone in this. A large proportion of espresso i would get in Italy is actually not very excellent ; in fact, it’s incredibly… consistently… mediocre. yet, they still think they are “the best”. They’ve basically self congratulated themselves…annnnddd then allowed themselves to get left behind. When I do find the odd Italian shop that goes out of their way to extract for flavors and not for over-developed roasting artifacts, I do try to have a conversation with the barista, to confirm it’s indeed intentional. and they invariably lean in, & give me that “ knowing” nod ;-) (almost invariably they admit they have left the country at some point to spread their coffee wings elsewhere, before repatriating..)
