  And you would be wrong, in Italy coffee is almost never drunk while eating something salty. Actually is mostly drunk alone as its own dish, aside from breakfast

      It’s almost as bad as breaking your spaghetti.

        I’m imagining an italian fusion of country, where his pasta broke his heart, so his girlfriend broke it to make him feel better heart, which broke his heart again.

    *they drink espresso based coffees.

    The italians invented lattes, cappuccinos, Americanos etc… most espresso based coffee finds its origin in Italy; it’s just instant coffee and whatever it is Starbucks are doing that they tend to scoff at.

      I think Americano was created by American GIs in Italy during WWI. They diluted espresso with hot water to make it more like traditional American coffee at the time.

      There’s also evidence of the term Cafe Americano in Central American Spanish.

      Australia and New Zealand also have the long black which is like an Americano but you add the espresso over the water to maintain the crema and get a stronger flavor.

      • and moka pot at home, which is not espresso, but makes a reasonable approximation for the fraction of the price of a real espresso machine
