Espresso is so good, but I can’t justify the machine at my home. It looks to be a pain in the ass to clean, it’s huge and it costs too much for my niche uses.

But I’ll drive to a legit coffee shop and order it no problem.

Its crazy, I had to travel to a few different coffee cafes, or whatever you call them, to find good espresso.

The best I had was this place on 30th and Morgan, in Chicago. They have that one machine that's like 5-10 grand. Unfortunately the drive is too far.

Never had coffee or espresso in Italy though.

I had three espressos every day in Italy.

Didn't matter where you went it was good. Even if you go to an Italian grocery store, and buy the store-brand pre-ground espresso, it's so fuarkin good LOL. I brought a bag home as a novelty thing and it was the best home espresso I've made lollllll. Literally $2.50/bag

I heard if you get a cappacino there, they want you to drink it fast???? Part of their culture or something.

Food looks amazing, except for their breakfast.

When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.

Yeah they have a stand-up counter. The locals come in, drink a small cappuccino and leave.

The sizes are NOT the same as the USA. They don't offer "sizes"

the biggest cappuccino in Italy is SIGNIFICANTLY smaller than the SMALLEST cappuccino in starbucks. Not even joking. They basically give you a dixie cup of milk/coffee. At first I was like 'wtf is this' but after a day I was more surprised at how huge starbucks drinks are.

Yes. Espresso can be very nommy. But I had regular drip for a long time before switching over to French press. I understand pour over is kinda great too, but I already have the stuff for French press....electric kettle, French press, and a grinder for whole bean when I have that.

Nothing wrong with that. Folgers is all my grandma would use.

Loved the smell of coffee way before I cared for the taste of it.

One of my favorite memories is still riding between grandma and grandpa in the cab of their old International truck with an aluminum coffee thermos and the smell of Folger's.

Splenda was my go to
Sweet n low on sale but I just use creamer now. I tried stevia.
Butter in coffee is ok sometimes Srs

Also part of the “drinks diet soda but doesn’t need diet I simply choose to drink diet” crew

I tell my kids, nephews, anyone loving sodas whether your fat, fit, skinny, whatever shape you’re in just do diet. It tastes the same imo and not loaded up with empty calories.

One nephew told me “I don’t need a diet I’m not fat!” I tried explaining to him . Anyone who drinks sodas should choose diet ones.

I have a Farberware percolator that I use on the weekends to make coffee, and for the life of me I just cannot make it as good as my grandmother did. I am making it the exact same way that she did. She just used Folgers and did one scoop for each cup of water in her Farberware, plus one extra "for the pot."

That coffee was absolutely delicious, but I cannot replicate the taste. I couldn't wait for the coffee after dinner when we would go over to her house. It's just one of those unexplainable things that your grandmparents did that was just better than you could ever do for some reason

Grandma's was plugged in on the counter next to the cooktop. Think it was harvest gold maybe.

But a cappacino is something to enjoy, not slam down.

This sounds beyond complicated.

Italian Coffee Culture – a guide to drinking coffee in Italy

https://thetravelbunny.com/italian-coffee-culture/

You’ll get a few odd looks from the locals if you order a Cappuccino or milky coffee after 11 a.m. or after a meal. A milky drink on a full stomach is most definitely frowned upon. If you must order a Cappuccino after your meal, at least have the decency to look embarrassed…


When drinking your coffee in Italy, if you’re a local, it’s unusual to sit at a table (al tavolo) unless you’re in a tourist area where it’s accepted. However, if you want to take your time and indulge in a bit of people watching whilst sipping your Macchiato you’ll be charged accordingly and will pay lat least a few euros more than if you stand at al banca.


I feel like I'd be like Paulie Walnuts in Sopranos.
