Re: Can Italians make great coffee?
SOme interesting replies to my question. Those people who told me the coffee in Italy is pretty ordinary I suspect may have had tourist experiences. As many tourists in Italy are from the US, the baristas have got to serving ditch water (no offence) lest be accused of the coffee being too strong.
I do remember being laughed at by a Barista in Italy for ordering a cappucino after dinner. The locals were all giving me a funny look as i drank it.
For many years the best coffee in Sydney was from the Italian places on Victoria st (notably Colluzi Bar). It would be fair to say that coffee in Sydney these days is consistently good. The Barista is a specific JD, not just a waiter, and get s well paid for it.
