\r\n\r\nNo arrival in Italy is complete without a trip to an Italian bar (caf\u00e9 or coffee shop) for a jet lag deterring caff\u00e8. And although Starbucks has indoctrinated Americans into the complicated realm of coffee, the Italian experience is an entirely different world.
\r\n
\r\nHow to order<\/b>
\r\n
\r\nWhile it depends on the bar, most ask that you pay at the cashier first. After getting a receipt, you bring to the counter and present to the barista, who will make your drink. Alternatively, if there is no cashier, you may go directly to the barista for service. Italians drink their coffee standing at the bar, usually in lightning speed, and then leave. Should you want to sit at a table, the drinks come at a higher price.
\r\n
\r\nWhat to order<\/b>
\r\n
\r\nAgain, this is not Starbucks. You cannot order a \u201cventi\u201d size and to-go cups are not easily found. But the choices are vast, and the beverages are delicious.
\r\n
\r\nCaff\u00e8<\/em> \u2013 While caff\u00e8 is the literal translation of \u201ccoffee\u201d in Italian, ordering \u201cun caff\u00e8\u201d at the bar will get you one shot of espresso. A caffe is something that Italians will drink all day long.
\r\n
\r\nCappuccino<\/em> \u2013 Italians tend to only drink cappuccino in the morning and not after a meal, as the milk and foam (1\/3 espresso, 1\/3 milk, 1\/3 foam) inhibits digestion.
\r\n
\r\nCaff\u00e8 Latte<\/em> \u2013 Another drink that is usually taken in the mornings, a latte has 1\/3 espresso and 2\/3 heated milk.
\r\n
\r\nCaff\u00e8 Macchiato<\/em> \u2013 An espresso dotted with a splash of hot milk and served in an espresso cup.
\r\n
\r\nCaff\u00e8 con Panna<\/em> \u2013 Similar to the macchiato but with sweet whipped cream added instead of milk.
\r\n
\r\nCaff\u00e8 Americano<\/em> \u2013 The Italian answer to the American\u2019s love of drip coffee\u2026 espresso diluted with much hot water.
\r\n
\r\nCaff\u00e8 Lungo<\/em> \u2013 An espresso with a shot of hot water, rendering it stronger than an Americano
\r\n
\r\nCaff\u00e8 Shakerato<\/em> – The perfect remedy for a hot summer\u2019s day, a caff\u00e8 shakerato is a fresh espresso mixed with sugar and ice. It is poured into a chilled glass after being shaken until it froths.
