@@GregorBrown just moved here last week and I think there’s not much quality YT content covering tips on acclimating to daily Italian life from a foreigner’s viewpoint. I see some good Italian creators and foreign daily vloggers, but I enjoyed this video specifically because you tackled only coffee culture in this video. It’s digestible and concise. Please continue making more of these!

so happy to hear. Why did you move to Florence? Are you studying?

yeah, that's one of the few things still cheap in Italy, that and food!

1,50€ is a even bit expensive for italian standards. Usually a coffe is from 0,80€ to 1,20€

@@ControCultura- I'm on my way!!!!

I would happily pay 4€ for the coffee experience I enjoy while traveling abroad... It is very difficult in Italy to find a good brewed coffee, and even if you love the espresso (which I do) the quality in the average Italian bar is pretty low...

Yay! Thank you!

even for the Italians

Are you sure, my mum was giving me coffee with milk = caffelatte. At age 8

I hope so too!

Edinburgh is in the UK. The UK is one of the most capitalist countries in the western world. American brands, alongside its own have been ubiquitous for decades.

There are 911 Starbucks stores in UK but only 31 in Italy, so keep your fingers crossed, buddy.

You are so welcome!

Wow, it's almost time to travel, and go to the bars for Italian coffee! I don't often have a caffè corretto.

So happy to hear! 🤗😀👍

Awesome 🌿 Thank you :)

Glad you enjoyed it! ❤️😎

Very good points

Yes. You have to push your way in and shout. That's the Italian way.

as long as you pay, they don't care how you order or what language. I fumbled the entire time my first trip to Lucca, they were probably laughing at me not with me, but I didn't know it!

Italian here. 🇮🇹 Where did you go to have a coffee with such a traumatizing experience? Are you sure it was an italian bar? 🤌☹️ 😂😂😂😂😂

@@gabrielesantucci6189 it was definitely Italy. The coffee shop looks like the one in the video clip, it was many decades ago so I don’t recall the name of the shop. Perhaps it is normal for Italians at the time. It was not France because I can speak a little bit of French.

ahh, make it happen! Even if it is just a short trip. Try to still come. You will love it. In the meantime, I hope this video was entertaining :)

ahhhhhh, thanks Juan. Guatemala has some good coffee, too! And, in case you aren't already, please take a moment to subscribe so that we can help this channel grow. Also give the video a BIG thumbs up if you liked it. That helps!

@@GregorBrown Ciao Gregor like, subscribe and hit the notification bell been there done that. Yes here in Guatemala "the land of the eternal spring" we have some good coffee as well. Thanks and keep up the good work.

I'm drinking Colombian at the moment.

@@GregorBrown HMMM dislike LOL, that needs to be fixed, on my next flight to the USA I will send you some Guatemala coffee beans.

Hi Juan! I know I'm like 6 months late to this party, but I've been spending much of the past year studying different coffee cultures across the world and was wondering if you could share anything about Guatemala's culture? I have friends in most Central American countries, but none in/from Guatemala, so I haven't had much of an insider scoop. What kind of coffee would you be served at a cafe? How do people brew coffee at home? Are light, medium, or dark roasts preferred?

Me too!!!

Hi. Thanks. I live in Italy for many years. For my work it's best. I also cover bike races like the Tour de France

Thanks buddy

Espresso rather than expresso!

Either way, I'm enjoying it :) xsxsxsxs

our coffee preferences highlight the wonderful variety in how people enjoy their brews around the world. In Italy, opting for a straight espresso will indeed give you that pure, intense coffee flavor you're after. Enjoy!

Grazie

Yeah. One of the best things here

What is a Korean Café Latte like? Sounds good!

@Gregor Brown Any time I try to order an Iced one in the States, I get "oh you mean a Macchiato?" The way Korea serves it and the way I've seen them make it is, in a cup, you put ice then about a quarter to a half of milk, then add 2 shots of espresso on top. They don't mix it it comes to you in layers. If I could post pictures I'd show you but of course I can't. If you ever get the chance to visit Korea, definitely do so so you can see what I mean.

Great question, Jonathan! In Italy, or in Europe, tipping at cafes isn't expected. Enjoy your coffee adventures in Italy! ☕🇮🇹 Same applies to everything else.

@@GregorBrown thanks! I did have a suggestion for a tip, twice, in Venice last summer. First at a famous cafe and then after a gondola ride. We were surprised as was our tour guide. I think they knew we were Americans and were used to tipping. Thanks for the great video!

Sounds great!

Absolutely, Mickey! Italian baristas do offer decaffeinated options. Don't hesitate to ask for "un caffè decaffeinato" when you're there. Enjoy your coffee moments! ☕❤️also check out this video, I talk about it here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6FytJ2rX2DA.html

not that long, you wouldn't feel that comfortable there for longer than 10min usually.

No, Italians still love cash, but more do accept credit cards now. For stuff below 5 euro, you should pay cash if you can.

A caffè macchiato is like a small version of a cappuccino, typically served in a smaller cup. ☕ Both still have one shot of espresso. ☕

no, I can't remember.

yes, that's a cool and big location.

yeah, don't worry, tea is great too! You will find tea in most bars, they have a selection, maybe not the freshest, though.

maybe in the south, but you'll find that's a little too much to ask for at a coffee bar.

Yeah, I've had friends interduce me to a few different teas, but so far I'm still a coffee drinker.

The last place does it all

Cold brew is so good in the summer time!

So true and good advice

Absolutely. Put a euro on top of the receipt on the counter for your cappuccino and you'll get quick service and usually a big grazie.

the coffee is already served up quick here By the way, Italians never tip, so for anyone reading here don't expect that you need to do so. It's a US thing to do and it is not expected. But as Leonard and Mike say, you can do so if you like ;)

Yes. It's ok. Also I'll drink Cappuccino after 11 😜😜

So many different options, that's one of the great things about the coffee experience.

1 oz. 2oz is an American double shot. Italians overwhelmingly don't drink doubles, they do 1 oz solos, but lots of them throughout the day. And no, Italians wouldn't rather have a 12oz coffee that they sip for a long time. It's not part of their culture to drink coffee over a half hour, they'd look at you funny and ask "drink coffee for half hour? what for?" lol. The coffee culture there is you take a 5 to 10 min break throughout your day, and you take a shot of espresso with a piece of candy or cookie to energize, and when break's over, you move on with your day. They don't sit down for coffee, most drink standing up at the bar. Visits to coffee shops typically are in-and-out. Coffee to Italians is like having a piece of chocolate. You take 2 to 3 bites, savor the deliciousness for a moment, and that's it. American 12 oz monsters are foreign to them, they think our coffee is water-down and thin and by the time you'd finish, it'd be cold, and you've got to carry it with you if you're in a hurry which is a hassle.

yeah, i've tried, but now I never have coffee after dinner because it affects my sleep. thanks for watching and following along mett. Please take a moment to subscribe if you are not already. And click that like button, it helps this channel grow.

I appreciate the comment. We say "marked" but it's same, same. Yeah, there are so many different coffees could have mentioned. Such a coffee-lover's paradise. Thanks! Also, a BIG thumbs up is always, ALWAYS, welcome. Thanks again Sandro!

yeah, you can. they have it at almost every place.

buono!

I made a video on the top things to do in florence

@@GregorBrown amazing, I’ll check it out. Thanks so much 👏🏽

yes!!!!

@alexdiamantopoulos6614: Caffè lungo coming right up! Hope you enjoy your coffee Italian style! ☕🇮🇹

That's an interesting point! 🤔 In Italy, it's quite common to pay different prices at the bar vs sitting at a table, especially in big cities. Outright payment before service is not the usual practice everywhere, but you'll find it often, depending on the bar. Yeah, don't worry, i was not scammed, this is how it is here☕🇮🇹

in north countries they had the ability to store dairy before fridges and the genes developed. In the south, instead of dairly, it was a olive oil diet. Now Italians are embracing their traditions with an iron grip.

Hey Monica, thanks for the compliment and the nudge about my cappUccino pronunciation! I'll definitely be putting in some extra effort to get it right. Who knows, maybe by the time I master it, I'll be making barista-level cappuccinos too! ☕😄👍

Prices have gone up in Europe, for sure, but coffee is still cheap in Italy!

Haha, I get that sometimes! But no, I'm just Gregor, exploring the world one coffee at a time. ☕🇮🇹😄

Haha, yes!

Yea. It's about the roasting and preparation.

Much of Italian coffee bean comes from Brazil, Santos region. I was told this by my friend's mother who own Cafe Duomo in Melbourne. Many good cafe source their bean from small importer/roaster. This roaster then mix (or straight no mix) several type of beans to produces the blends particular to the Cafe request. This blends usually does not work well with Mocapot, only coffee machine. For Mocapot you ask for Mocapot blend.

You know your coffee. I am not sure but if so that's good information. Thanks

sounds like the same thing ;)

@@GregorBrown no what I try to tell you Italiens don’t think that americano is American way of drinking coffee. It’s just the American way of drinking espresso (if you want so) For most Italiens drip coffee/filter coffee is typical American cafe 😊

It's definitely a different vibe from the Italian coffee experience! When you're in Italy, don't miss the chance to sip a local espresso in a quaint café. ☕🇮🇹

thanks for watching and following along Jessy. People add sugar in their coffee, so that's a thing :) But no, you don't have the syrups here. Please take a moment to subscribe if you are not already. And click that like button, it helps this channel grow.
