  • My experience has been that the espresso got better the further south I went in Italy. Sadly I haven’t been beyond Rome yet but I’ll get there!

  • Sant'Eustachio cafe just around the corner from the Pantheon is the place to go. Amazingly busy place which used to have a metal counter that was completely dented from patreons slamming down extra coins as tips to the baristas so that they would get their coffees quicker!

  • I agree with this. The roasts get darker and the % of Robusta seem to go up the further south you go. In Napoli, the average coffee is a treacly little thing that absolutely coats the palate. Very different flavour from what you get further north. Love them!
