As a very trendy third-waver having never been to Italy and had a 1€ espresso from a street corner, can someone explain to me how it can be good coffee? I’m guessing it’s super roasty with wide margin for error so doesn’t have to be particularly carefully prepared? Or is it more a sense of place/experience?
For me it is. My espresso isn’t as good as the stuff I get in the forward thinking coffee shops I buy my coffee but I prefer it over what I drank in Italy.
