Italian Culture
Breakfast - 7-10am: Coffee
Caffè, or Espresso: Straight shot of coffee Caffè americano: Not exactly coffee from the United States, but more watered-down than espresso. Caffè macchiato: An espresso "stained" with a dab of steamed milk. Caffè ristretto: Espresso with a tad less water, stronger than regular espresso. Cappuccio, or Cappuccino: Coffee combined with steamed milk (more so than macchiato).
