I kind of doubt anywhere that close to Italy, large portions of whom speak Italian, has uniformly bad coffee.

- _nalply 7y agoIn some mountain huts without tap water and only disconnected solar electricity you can't have espresso machines. You'll get filter coffee from melted snow. It's heartwarming, though.
- peterbraden 7y agoIn most mountain huts it’s instant which sucks. But where is this stigma that the only true coffee is espresso coming from ? I far prefer good filter.
- kfk 7y agoI mean we don't really use espresso machines in Italy, we use moca's. Moca machines can run easily on a camp stove. Try it, you'll get better coffee from a camp stove than most espresso machines, promised!
- simonebrunozzi 7y agoIn fact there's excellent coffee in Ticino.
- ryannevius 7y agoItaly has near-uniformly bad coffee, unless your idea of good coffee is the cheapest, dark roasted "arabica" found on earth.
- Cougher 7y agoCan you even tell the difference between arabica and robusto when the beans are roasted to taste like fire pit ash? That said, Americans are no strangers to overroasting our coffee just as we overhop our beer.
- httpsterio 7y agoyes, easily. robusta tastes like burnt rubber asides from the charcoal that comes from over roasting the coffee, arabica is more neutral no matter what the roast level is.
- httpsterio 7y agoItalian coffee is generally not good though.
