How to drink Espresso the Italian way
Ойын-сауық
In the Italian city of Trieste, coffee holds a special status. It’s home to the Mediterranean’s biggest coffee port and hosts one of Italy’s biggest coffee brands. Some coffee varieties have very special names here and locals are known to drink copious amounts of coffee and follow a certain etiquette when consuming this beloved drink. Euromaxx reporter Meggin Leigh met barista and coffee sommelier Marco Bazzara to learn what makes a good espresso and how to drink it.

I bought a proper espresso machine a few weeks ago and was surprised to find out that when I steamed my milk it naturally sweetened it and there was no need to add sugar to my drink. There really is a big difference in properly made espresso with proper coffee.

It's 6 AM watching this vid with my cup of coffee ☕️ 😍
I like this new presenter. Enjoy your new format for this short story 🤠
I don't normally praise the presenter, but I really liked her
If I got this right you need to drink that double shot espresso (which is not very hot and of a relatively small quantity) slowly, rolling each sip in your tongue while you meet your need for sweetness with a sweet pastry and not sugar in the coffee. Is this right?

I have to say, you can get some decent espresso at Italian joints in New York City where I live, but the stuff in Trieste is truly outstanding. That said, Naples and Milan are right up there with Trieste; Rome not so much for reasons I can’t understand. And BTW, as for the USA, Miami Florida probably has the best espresso outside of Manhattan’s Little Italy.
Look at the serving seize Americans, go to a beautiful coffeehouse, sit down, relax enjoy the beautiful room, talk to your friends and have a good time. I never ever understood the need of coffee to go in those silly cups. I am not bashing, I like Americans but sometimes if you think about certain customs you don't understand why.

I'm Brazilian and I don't understand it as well… I have lived in Canada and now in USA and it never made sense for me how north Americans like so much this big cups of watered coffee on the go. Went to Starbucks once to see what the hype was about and I was not impressed at all, expensive bad quality watered coffee as well😂

In North America folks are used to drink watery coffee , add sugar and artificial sweeteners . No wonder why they have 17 000 Starbucks in UsA alone.

@jojoanggono3229 I think maybe Starbucks has whipped cream from local suppliers, kind of like some fast food places. KFC, for example, has some premade side dishes that aren't even made by them and shipped to all locations. Rather, they go with a more local supplier than can make them a side of macaroni for example. KFC has macaroni salad in Canada and on one end of Canada the macaroni salad will taste completely different from the other end of Canada. So, when it comes to Starbucks whipped cream it's horrible around here as I don't think they make it themselves. The Starbucks whipped cream is all thick and oily around here. It leaves an oil slick on your tongue and it's digusting.
I have to say, the storytelling in this video was exceptional. It's not easy to take a complex topic and make it engaging and relatable, but this KZreadr did just that. The way they structured the video, using personal anecdotes and examples to illustrate their points, was really effective in driving the message home. This video was both educational and entertaining, and it's a prime example of how powerful storytelling can be.

Napoli is the capital, where they have lever machines everywhere, you need a lever machine to get the best results. As for espresso you need to stir it first to make it sweeter. No sugar!

I love espresso, but whenever I travel to Europe, I feel those industrial machines have murdered the coffee culture in Europe. I simply don't feel the fresh coffee smell and taste anymore. And all coffee, wherever you travel in Europe, tastes, and smells the same industrial flavor. I still brew my coffee through manual filter, with the kind of coffee I am assured of its freshness.

Try to get arabica single origin, medium roast, and manually brewed. I never trust those dark roasted beans, like they are hiding something behind substandard beans.

The guy is funny pretty much every city all Italians drink coffee every day
It’s funny how purists say no to sugar or sweetener but adds milk which completely changes all the aromas and flavor of the coffee, while sugar acts much more like salt in a steak, enhancing all the flavors if you don’t over sweeten it. Just like saying, wait, don’t put salt on your steak, it will change the meat taste, add unsalted butter if you wish… sounds ridiculous right? Milk in the coffee to me is just like adding soda to a 12year old whisk.
I hear one should never drink cappucino after 12 noon.

Robusta? come on... As long as it is reflected in the price though. Since specialty espresso can be expensive.

Well it's about drinking it in a way that gives you the best experience. Nothing personal or mean once someone isn't condescending and mean about it. It's like saying you paid for music lessons. I'll play the piano/said instrument whatever way I want. Well maybe you shouldn't as if you don't listen to anyone you might play it incorrectly and be ignorant.

Lol, most of the Italian coffee tastes like ***… Over-roasted low quality robusta blend prepared on old machines that do not get lots of quality service… It is really difficult to find good coffee in Italy (I visited Milano, Roma and Napoli last summer and it was a pain to find nice coffee shops that serve espresso from quality single-origin coffee beans. And of course it will not cost 1-1.5 euros per cup). Not impossible, but difficult, as most of the places will serve you the “traditional” one. But kudos to Italian roasters and shop owners who really care about what they serve to the customers (but when you see Illy, Segafredo, Lavazza etc. - run away…)

Thank you ..GRAZIE for airing-out this needed laundry!! I was hoping I wasn’t alone in this. A large proportion of espresso i would get in Italy is actually not very excellent ; in fact, it’s incredibly… consistently… mediocre. yet, they still think they are “the best”. They’ve basically self congratulated themselves…annnnddd then allowed themselves to get left behind. When I do find the odd Italian shop that goes out of their way to extract for flavors and not for over-developed roasting artifacts, I do try to have a conversation with the barista, to confirm it’s indeed intentional. and they invariably lean in, & give me that “ knowing” nod ;-) (almost invariably they admit they have left the country at some point to spread their coffee wings elsewhere, before repatriating..)

Italian espresso is...rubbish. Much of the world has now moved to better sourcing, and more gentle brewing methods and use 100% arabica beans (third wave coffee) where Italy has remained stubborn in its ways and refuses to modernise. In fact, Italian espresso now has a higher percentage of robusta beans (cheaper, more bitter) as a way of cutting costs, so it's actually gone backwards over the years. I find it very difficult to find good coffee in Italy for this reason. If you want to make good coffee, it takes time and effort to source, roast and extract it very, very carefully. To try very good espresso, go to Australia. It is still home to the highest standard of coffee making in the world.
only AMERICANO!!!
LOL what? Dude telling me not to add sugar in espresso but says that his "perfect" blend contains 40% Robusta? Teach yourself about good coffee before teaching others...Also, most of Italian brands produce overburnt beans without good aroma.
This barista is a joke. First, he tells this woman not to use any sugar on the coffee and then she calmly tells her that their coffee is 40% robusta ..
