      Are you guys kidding, I havent been to sponser of this site yet that didnt know what I was talking about, coffee stuff seems to have more or less universal names and they all understand what you want.
      too right mate!

      Although the one that really gets to me is how people try to kind of "exclusivize" or "europeanize" the name "gaggia". It doesnt matter how many times you tell them it is simply pronounced ga-j-a (pretty much a silent i and pronounced quickly) they always kept trying to make the j sound like the french "je" in je taime and pronounce the word slowly as to draw out the arrh and the je.....ie garr-je-a

      Sounds terrible to an Italian speaking person, and especially as it sounds like theyre trying to make it sound french....arrrrhhhhh!

      Keep smiling,
      Attilio.

        They get it right far more often than Google Translate.

        Cheers

          Thanks guys! This is very helpful. Next time i go over to the Italian inlaws and the conversation invariably turns to coffee, I will sound like less of a tool.
