Italian coffee - dreaming of espresso

Italian coffee has a very special meaning; after all, this is where the espresso was born. There is so much to tell about Italian coffee that I can't even pretend to be able to do it here. Anyway, I can give you a quick glimpse on it.

In Italy, a coffee is an espresso, just as simple as that. You don't go around ordering espressos; when you order a caffee you'll be served an espresso. Any other kind of coffee is often seen as not being a true coffee so, be ready to live with it if you ever travel to Italy. On the other hand, even if you thought you didn't like espressos, once you taste one of the espresso blends Italian coffee has to offer, you'll probably change your mind.

The hard part will be getting as good espressos when you go back to your own country. But that's why you can easily get home espresso machines these days, if you can't find a good enough espresso out there, why not do it yourself in your home? Some say that Italian coffee is probably the best coffee drink in the world. So where do you start? Look online at the numerous retailers offering the best espresso and espresso blends to suit every taste.
