As we approach our return to the United States, we have begun to talk about what we will miss most about being here in Italy. This list is long, very long. However, one of the things that Megan and I will miss is the coffee.
The Italians just know how to do coffee well. Even at the worst rest stop on the highway, you can find a barista that will make you a cappuccino with more care than in any Starbucks. In the 3 months that we have been here, through multiple coffees each day, I have never received a bad shot of espresso or a poor cappuccino..and we have never paid more than 2 Euro for the pleasure. For sure, the return to expensive, bitter espressos and cappuccinos in paper cups will be a change for which we can wait.
