Art of Drinking Espresso and Cappuccino the Italian style
  • Espresso and Cappuccino should be made to order and fast
  • Always order at the bar and drink at the bar standing
  • Drink your espresso quickly while the "crema" is still on top
  • Never drink an espresso that doesn't have "crema" on top
  • Take a second to enjoy the tradition surrounding it
  • You can have an espresso anytime of the day
  • Only have a Cappucino before 11A. Milk is reserved for breakfast
  • See it as a way of life, not a special occasion
  • Always drink espresso and cappuccino from a the proper porcelain cup and saucer with a steel spoon as specified in the "Instituto Nazionale Espresso Italiano" specifications - Always, request your espresso and cappuccino to be served in a proper porcelain cup and saucer
  • No paper cups and plastic spoons
  • Hold the cup with one hand, not two. It is not a bowl of soup​
