If you rely on caffeine every morning, ordering coffee in Italy can be one of the most frustrating aspects of your vacation. I'm not specific as long as I have caffeine, but I had to laugh when Michael of Go See Write was frustrated with his normal non-American coffee.
Perhaps the only difference that distinguishes coffee in Italy is that it is often consumed on foot - something that never occurs in North America unless it is in a disposable cup while walking in the street.
The American begins as an espresso, then hot water is added to make it look like normal drip coffee. Millions of people give their coffee milk. There is nothing wrong with that. You are not sure what you mean when you refer to some coffees as "refined" (snobbery?). If they were totally "refined," they would not be American at all.
How is this commercial ??? do it your way We have some snobby cafes serving your drink only in porcelain cups. Do not think about having an espresso to go !!
Make sure the barista first supplies hot water (usually from the hot pressurized main kettle) to the cup when making an American coffee. This reduces the temperature by a few degrees, as the cup is getting colder. Then espresso is added and the oils float up again. It looks better and the aroma of the cream is better too. Hit and the customer should ask if it is a black coffee, because it looks like a white ...
If you do it the other way around, it means that the creamer is hit by hot water, which has a negative effect on the oils - "coffee cooked is coffee spoiled" - definitely the wrong way.
If you like to add milk or cream to an American, do not let a barista tell you how you like your drinks!
"By definition, you know that you can not have an average size unless there is at least one smaller and at least one larger size!"
I regretted, before I finished, my lack of similar conversations I had at other coffee shops - including one that was particularly complicated in America - and later.
The young woman behind the counter, however, was made of nicer things - "Yes, I see what you mean to be true"
"Actually, I'm not sure if we're middle and big, I think it can be small and medium."
To save myself, I quickly started a friendlier conversation after looking at the menu with the two sizes "Primo" and "Medium".
"You know that some Starbucks branches in America do not accept your request unless you use the words" High, Big or Venti ".
"Yes, I know - they come here and ask for Tall. What does that mean? It should be Italian - but my father is Italian and has never heard of it." In Italy they ask for "Piccolo" if they want a small one - Just because Italian coffee is always the same size, I think Primo means "first" and Medio is mediocre - but nothing means unless there is a big one "
And with that she gave me my cousin Black American. (Which was too big for everyone)
It may be worthwhile to share the experience I had two years ago in the United States. I went to Starbucks and ordered exactly the same drink - a little black American.
If you're interested in the size of coffee on the coast and at Starbucks, Starbucks originally served "short" and "high" coffee - as is common in Seattle - then they introduced the "big" Italian who is tall or tall and finally lifting the "short", and the Venti - which is again Italian - means 20 - refers to the number of liquid ounces in the glass.
