Eataly CEO Nicola Farinetti knows a thing or two about espresso, so he gave NowThis some advice on how to drink it properly.
Firstly, he explained that espresso is meant to be consumed right at the bar. Espresso is most Italians’ drink of choice and their morning ritual usually begins will a quick stop at their favorite espresso bar.
Once you get your cup of espresso, you should look at it and see if the top resembles tiger stripes. Then you should smell it to check if it’s burned - after that, you can finally take a sip. And make sure you don’t drink your espresso when it's boiling hot - it should be served at a manageable temperature so you can drink it right away.
As for cappuccinos - make sure to only consume those in the morning, since the milk in them can be heavy. And don’t ask for sizes when ordering your Italian beverages. Most beverages in Italy only come in one size, so it would be arbitrary to customize your order.
If you want a truly special espresso experience in Italy, Farinetti suggests going off the beaten path a find the smallest bar in the area. You’ll likely wind up having a truly authentic coffee-consuming experience.

I’m half Italian and during my first trip to Italy, I went to a cafe with my grandmother and asked for an ‘expresso’ then asked where she wanted to sit (she was 85 at the time). She smacked me upside the head and said ‘Ay! No ‘expresso!’ No sitting!’
It's espresso, not expresso.
@@sO_RoNerY It's caffè, not espresso. Mannaggia la miseria.
@sO_RoNerY That is why there are apostrophes around the expresso part.
Smart Nonna, never say espresso big no no, just say un caffe' or latte macchiato if you want a latte Hot milk and espresso)
I am Chinese and have to learn how to order espresso like an Italian in the US... Alright, No hay problema. Muchas gracias!
"Not boiling hot like most drip coffee in America" THIS IS SO TRUE
Love how he said to just ask about the weather tomorrow and not Google it. Our faces are in our phones all the time. We couldn't imagine sitting a bar and having a quick coffee and then leaving.
May I have an espresso, and an Italian man to go with it. Thank you very much. Grazie 😂
ill take that too 👀
This is me:
May I have an espresso and you're so bella [the beautiful Italian woman giving me the cup].
The only reason why there's no such thing as no sizes is because of the certain ratio of milk it takes to make a latte or cappuccino or macchiato... depending on the ratio that's what the drink is called.
Exactly! When she asked "what if I want a large cappuccino?" I thought to myself..then that's not a cappuccino 😂
Interesting. I travel to Miami often and the same thing happens at all the Cuban joints where they sell coffee, often through a window at the restaurant or other establishment where patrons congregate outside standing only for a quick shot of coffee, or at the indoor coffee bar itself. You always ask for “un café” and what you’ll get is a shot of espresso. Anything else and you’ll have to specify. For example, if one shot of that thick black delicious stuff isn’t enough for you, then you either buy another one or you ask for “una colada” which is more like 4 to 5 shots of espresso served in a styrofoam cup with a few mini plastic cups for you to distribute mini shots. Oh, and one other thing, if you don’t want it sweet then make sure you ask for it “sin azúcar” (without sugar) otherwise the standard stuff you get is always sweet. I always end up hyper-caffeinated when I’m in Miami, but I can’t help it because they’ve got some of the best espresso coffee anywhere in the USA and you can get it practically everywhere.
Café cubano es demasiado delicioso ❤ 🇨🇺 ☕️
My friend's mother who owned Cafe Duomo in Melbourne taught me about Italian coffee. Where their beans come from, who roasted the bean, what blend they use, size of cup for certain coffee, what kind of cup they use, etc. It's embedded in my memory maybe that's why I cannot adjust to large chain coffee shop. There is always something funny.
Un piccolo espresso ma forte fortissimo con un aroma
Beautifully done
Un caffe prego!
Come lo desidera? Amaro come la vita? o dolce come la morte?
here we are in Florence
I had to find out about espresso after watching Vincenzo on Netflix 😄
I watch Vincenzo
Did he say coffee needs to look like tiger skin ?? 😉 I shall go and have a look 🏃🏃
Here we talk about Florence and coffee
"Un caffè con amore" (a coffee with love), also.
Bravo!
Was it in Boston?
So do most Italians take their espresso straight or with sugar?

Where to buy those nice thick espresso cup?
Accurate enough lol
that girl just wanted to chug down the expresso immediately after grabbing the little cup. Funny to see her struggling when he started to explain his process of smelling hahaha
The girl's like..ummmm so where's the pumpkin spice latte lol
Hello. I shared this video in one of my playlists. I hope that is okay with you. Thanks.
Here we talk about Florence
Ooh sick!!! 😎😎😎
Italian espresso is amazing. It's too bad we don't have any bars that serve the real stuff. I'm drinking Caffe Musetti at home, and it's as close as I can get to being back in Italy at the Cafeteria!
Do you use a Moka or a home small espresso machine?
I like it boiling hot and I'm italian, probably it's just me..I don't know. I prefere moka too. When you ask for it always use "perfavore" at the end of the question. Enjoy your coffee and smile
do you put a bit of sugar in it
Yes if you like your coffee with sugar. Sugar does change the aroma a little bit.
Hi
can i have contact in Cambodia ?
How do you chat about the weather when the person serving you the coffee can't speak English? 😂
No the crema doesn't have to look like a tiger. If it does it means the grounded coffee is well stamped (not uniform)
I think he's referring more to the dark orange tone than the strips

It will appear in the episode which will air on March 1th.
Question for the italians : what would you do if you would see someone put milk in their espresso
I live in Italy and some of my colleagues who are Italian do it quite often. I think it just cuts the bitterness. Or they order macchiato
It's called " espresso macchiato freddo" (cold milk) or "espresso macchiato caldo" (warm milk, basically cappuccino espresso size)
@@Augustus_Imperator really i thought it had the same emotions as putting pineapple on pizza which is of course a big no no
@@olivierrevet5953 milk and coffee is seen as a very good combination, of course espresso isn't going to be the same as without milk, but it's a combination used in many other good products, as opposed to fruit on pizza 😂
so funny for Italian waiting
Btw the whole thing about the water to clean your mouth is really not a thing in a lot of places.
Maybe in the South (of Italy ofc) it is but even then I know some people drink it afterwards to remove the bitterness so...
Here in Torino it's hit or miss. Some bars give it to you by default, some don't. If you ask for it they always give it to you though. I usually don't ask for it, but if they hand it to me I drink it afterwards.
I like the coffee taste but I don't necessarily want it hanging around forever.
It’s pretty common in Paris.
In Miami the drink of water is automatic unless you decline it upfront, and either it is served to you alongside the espresso, or you dispense it yourself from a large water bottle into disposable paper cups.
In Chile they give you a small glass of sparkling water to accompany your coffee. More so for the aftertaste.
Spoon?
Never sit down on a table only to have coffee - or prepare for a hefty upcharge.
Were you supposed to get to the part about actually ordering it?
Pure come bisogna bere il caffè bisogna insegnare a sti americani
Poor baristas don't get paid nearly enough 😔
"centuries and centuries of tradition" -- weren't espresso machines introduced at the 1906 Milan expo? Coffee has a long history -- espresso not so much.
MVDrudge there are no espresso machines here. What you call espresso machines are the ones used in bars (like in the video) and are only used because they are quick. At home we use “mokas” (strange machine to put on the stove) that takes a bit longer, maybe 5 minutes, but contains coffe for 3-6 people. These have A LONG history, although it’s said that the patent was put in 1933 they date way back, my grandmother had one from 1854 and my great grandmother said it was “too new” when she bought it (1950ish)
@@nicolozorzetto3871 That's interesting. I didn't know Moka pots were that old. I do know what they are -- I have owned two over the last 6 years or so. But my wife always manages to burn the thing to smithereens by forgetting to turn it off after starting to make some coffee. :D
I have an espresso machine now and she is afraid to touch it, so this works out much better for me :D
@@nicolozorzetto3871 Well I've got a classic Gaggia machine at home (mostly because I can't use a classic aluminium moka on my induction cooker and nobody makes 2 cup induction-friendly or electric mokas) and it's great. It was like 60€ on Amazon and once I learned how to use it I can now make better coffee than a lot of bars. Looking at you Segafredo.
I'll agree that the moka is the default home coffee machine for most people though.

No... No no no no no . NO!!!
Why not film this in italy?
This is!
Come here with us in Italy
This Italian is clearly baiting and its hilarious
I just love to have caramel macchiatto 24 x 7 and I don't have to go to a village to get that ;) and I love America!
Macchiato. You don't even know what you are talking about.
and always stir before you drink it in order to enjoy the Round experience of the Caffe;, Salutti
*Espresso: invented in 1884*
Nicola: "Centuries and centuries of tradition..."
so you think italians didn't drink coffee before "espresso" was invented?
Yeh coffee has been around for a few centuries and given its growth in popularity in the 1600s in modern Turkey, it probably wasn't long before what is modern day Italy got some too.
Wrong wrong and wrong
Why?
It’s the italian way
I don’t see anything wrong in this video..
Why is this wrong? 🤣
