If you don’t want to be taken for a tourist in Italy, abandon your regular afternoon grande latte; placing your order for one will either earn you looks of scorn or consternation. Dorothy, you, and Toto aren’t in Kansas anymore. To say the Italians have a coffee culture is an understatement; it’s really more like un culto di caffèe (a cult of coffee) with an entire country of zealous adherents. After a few days, you will realize what all the fuss is about and happily join the ranks of converts to this national obsession.
