If I were to leave Italy right now, the one thing I’d miss the most is the coffee. I wouldn’t miss it like I miss a Philly cheesesteak or kimchee, I’d miss it like I forgot to brush my teeth in the morning. It’s just that essential as part of my day here. One in the morning, maybe with milk, then usually one after every meal with sugar. What Italians call coffee, or caffe, here is closer to an espresso in America, though it isn’t really. When made at home/work, it’s brewed in this little thing called a Moka. It’s efficient, brews quickly, and has become an icon in itself. I don’t miss drip coffee at all. And… now I’m going to go make a caffe.
