7 tips on how to mutate into a true Italo slurper
1. Put on your sunglasses! I’m sorry, what? Italians always wear their sunglasses no matter what they are doing or where they are. In the museum, on the toilet in the restaurant or at the table in the piazza, with a wonderful coffee. With clouds. And rain. The sun could come out at some point… 😉 That’s real optimism!
2. NEVER order an espresso!… and certainly not an EXPRESSO please! The Germanization of an Italian term is really, really bad (please don’t order any GNOTSCHI in the restaurant either, that’s at least as terrible). In addition, a real Italian never orders an espresso, but always a cool and simple caffè. Basta.
3. Zick Zag! With the Italians, a lot goes “al volo” – including drinking coffee! The Italian prefers to enjoy the pick-me-up while standing right at the bar – and that means several times a day!
4. Cappuccino only in the morning! In Italy, people only drink their cappuccino, i.e. the coffee with milk froth, in the morning – and they prefer it with a sweet cornetto or brioche. What is good must be enjoyed accordingly! And Italians are particularly good at that 🙂
5. Tell. tell a lot. It’s not just a cliché, it’s a fact that Italians like to talk a lot. And usually not exactly quiet either. 😀 It’s like wearing sunglasses: you do it anytime, anywhere! It is therefore important – when you meet someone for the daily coffee – that you have enough topics to talk about to talk to the other person under the table!
6. Gesture! However, talking alone is not enough: an original Italian also manages the acrobatics between holding cups between the fingers and wild gestures, which can sometimes be a bit disturbing to outsiders. But: waving your hands and arms around is part of a real Italian coffee gossip!
7. Never go to the bar unstylish. Italians are always well styled, not only the ladies but also the male specimens attach great importance to their appearance. Above all, the hairstyle has to fit, otherwise nothing works. A cup of coffee in one hand, the other brushing dark hair away from his face… what a picture of a real Italian boy!
Yes, the love of really good coffee is something typically Italian – with all the trimmings. If you are now ready for “un amore italiano” with our tips, then you can also bring our original Italian caffè straight home – and your hair can be a little disheveled there! 😉
