Types of italian coffee

 

So, you want to go to Italy?  best!  There is so much to do in this beautiful land, and you won't be forgiven if you don't taste the coffee.  While Italy is specific for their coffee and you can use any name to order coffee, it's best to order the Italian way.

A trip to Italy is a treat for all who love quality food, all things related to wine and beverage consumption, and coffee rises as an art form here.

The country that inspired Starbucks founder Howard Schultz to spark the coffee phenomenon serves coffee with many techniques and attitudes, with the typical Italian use of cleverly tying a scarf.

cappuccino

Undoubtedly, cappuccino is one of the most famous coffees in Italy.  It is basically 100% steamed milk, 100% espresso and 100% foam.  Drink this brew before 11am because Italians consider cappuccino to be a meal in itself.  But you can always drink cappuccino in Italy.

caffeine

It was served in a small cup and drank throughout the day.  Caffeine literally means coffee, but be aware that it is also a shot of espresso.  So, when you order, you order an espresso, not uncaffeinated.

Also, you can also find what you want.  This is a “modified” espresso shot with a shot of alcohol (cognac, grappa or sambuca), but feel free to ask for any drink you want.  A shot of added Irish cream is always stylish!

Macchiato

A macchiato is simply an espresso with a drop or two of hot milk, served in the same small cup the espresso comes in.  It is slightly foamy compared to cappuccino, so Italians can enjoy it at any time of the day.

carpet corretto

This spiked Italian coffee is a blend of alcohol (a variety of rum, grappa, mistral and brandy) and a cup of espresso.  The brew is supposed to have a dominant, rich coffee flavor and not be overpowered by strong liquors.

These drinks are served separately, so guests can combine them to their liking.  Outside of Italy, this drink goes by other names such as Espresso Corretto and Cara Jillo.

ristretto

A ristretto is only half of an espresso.  This means less bitter than regular espresso.  It also differs from regular espresso in the amount of water used.

When brewed with an espresso machine, it brews a constant amount of finely ground coffee with half the amount of water used for classic espresso.  The resulting brew is more focused on a different balance of compounds than standard espresso.

Ristretto is reminiscent of dark chocolate, while crema is much lighter than regular espresso.  It is usually served straight from a demitasse cup.

Marocino

Moracino is the result of combining espresso and cocoa and is slightly milky white than macchiato.  Basically, Marocino is made with a layer of foam, a glass of espresso, and a glass mug sprinkled with cocoa powder, sprinkled with cocoa powder.

Shakerato

Drinking it before 11am is very stylish and perfectly acceptable.  It is prepared by pouring chilled espresso over ice, shaking in foam.

If you like decaffeinated coffee, caffeine won't disappoint you if you have a problem with caffeine.  It is also a great choice for kids who want to drink coffee.  You can add citrus to improve the taste of your cup.

The taste

In fact, the quality of Italian coffee never changes no matter where you are.  Italians do everything to be consistent.  So no matter which bar you visit, you will taste the same coffee.

Italian coffee inspired a trend that took the coffee-drinking public by storm.  Coffee in Italy is a flavor experience that every connoisseur of caffeinated beverages should experience at least once in their life.
