Italian Coffee Culture FAQs
Why is coffee so popular in Italy?
It was not just that the ports in the country were the first to import coffee beans, giving the locals plenty of time to fall in love with it. It’s also utterly delicious and aromatic. The culture that has since evolved has not discriminated between ordinary folk and renowned artists and thinkers, making it a staple of the country's everyday life.
Choose Your PastaWhen do Italians usually drink coffee?
The simple answer is: anytime. From morning till night, it's always appropriate to get a cup of coffee in Italy, especially an espresso. Milky coffees will normally be drunk exclusively in the morning, though. Trying to order a cappuccino after 11am is a big faux pas.
Choose Your PastaHow do you order coffee in Italy?
Italians may turn their nose up on anything less than an immaculate order. Usually, you’d be asked to pay first and then order at the bar. Approach the bancone (bar) and make sure you know which coffee you want and its correct Italian name, or simply ask for un caffè to receive espresso. Drink quickly, as Italians don't linger when they get their caffeine hit.
