ITALIAN CYCLING JOURNAL: Detour: How To Order An Italian Coffee In Italy
ICJ: Why does an espresso taste better in Italy than anywhere else?
Sara: I'm definitely biased as I never drank coffee regularly before living in Italy, and I always want Italian espresso in the morning, but I also think the people preparing the coffee in Italy have often been doing it for years, and they may even be the owner of the place. They're invested in people liking their coffee and their bars, and if they're concentrating on espresso, they have to worry about and control fewer things than big stores with tons of variations and syrups: coffee bean quality, their coffee grinder, their espresso machine, and the quality and freshness of their milk. You wouldn't expect your best coffee to come from a coffee chain store, and I think this is true in Italy as well as outside of it. The more the people care about the coffee who are working there, the better it will be. I think the type of coffee being served, too, and in Italy a dark (espresso) roast is pretty common.
