Espresso is ordered by most tourists who go to Italy and say.... “un espresso, per favore”. Because many obviously accustomed at home (Americans, Germans, etc.) with American style coffee, going into a bar they think they have to say “Espresso” to receive an Italian style coffee. Which an Italian obviously does not need to say, because for the classic Italian, a coffee is ONLY an espresso ! :)
Ahah true, we Italians tend to religiously stick with the ONE tradition. Makes you wonder how many beautiful things we miss out on because of it 😉
So Close to Spanish, love that
If you do speak Spanish, Italian will sound somewhat more familiar (watch out for those "false friends" though ;))
Cucchiaio, cucchiaino, spazzolino, etc. are all such cute words ♡♡♡
Indeed :) They sound really nice
@inevitaly
An interesting, informative video. 😀
We just ordered our first coffee, speaking Italian to do so, in Venice - and the lady taking our order responded in Italian! Thank you so much for this tutorial, we've subscribed and are looking forward to watching more videos :)
Grazie mille Marco 🌹
Grazie a te :)
Grazie Marco , per la spiegazione . Bel taglio di Capelli .
Love to watch you again Marco, I have learned a lot italian language with you, everything about Italy culture too, many years since then 8 maybe, you were living in Italian and traveling to London😊.
Grazieeeee!!!! 🎉❤
Thank you Carlos for sticking with me for so long :) It's so nice to be back 🤗
OMG! best video about Italian coffee culture! GRAZIE MILLE!
Grazie mille, Marco!
Bellissimo! Tanti Mille Marco!
Grazie Mille Marco. Bene.
Grazie Marco
Grazie a te! :)
Che` fabuloso, carissimo **Marco*,* grazie mille ... e piu` 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖...!!!
Hey Marco, correct me if I am wrong.. But many Americans who travel to Italy make the mistake of ordering cappuccino in the afternoon or evening. I understand cappuccino is only breakfast or early lunch.
Not only Americans, also Germans and many others ! An Italian would never have a cappuccino after lunch or during the afternoon, let alone in the evening ! Normally an Italian after a meal (lunch or dinner), orders an Espresso or a Grappa or an Amaro (bitter liqueur), but not a cappuccino. Foreign tourists do it in their own countries and so they quietly do it in Italy as well.
@@aris1956 it is perfectly "normal" to order anything you want to eat/drink at any time as long as you are paying for it and not causing inconvenience to others. A tourist /individual does not need to follow the accepted Italian way of diet! Milk is available even after 11AM and people order macchiato at all times. So cappuccino is not an inconvenience.
@@ishanimukherjee8493 Of course, everyone is free to take what they want at the time they want. I was simply referring to the fact that it is not usual for Italians and therefore in Italy to take a cappuccino at a certain time. Having said that, you can do whatever you want even in Italy, no one forbids you to do so.
Ciao Sam, uhh this is a touchy subject for (most) Italians. In some of my videos, I ironically say that - while in Italy - one should not drink cappuccino after noon (it's one of the very strict unwritten rules Italians never break). But like the wise Ishani commented below, it is a free country and I believe anyone should feel entitled to drink whatever caffeinated beverage they like at whatever time of day, as it is not offensive nor disrespectful to do so. As Aris noted, an Italian (living in Italy) would never order a cappuccino outside of breakfast time - but this doesn't mean you shouldn't. Just be prepared to perhaps get some "looks" from the barista perhaps (Italians can be very transparent haha).
@@inevitaly I am living in Italy for 3 years now. I do not drink milk but I have seen even a few Italian friends ordering Cappuccino after noon(rare). Also, I tried asking my friends the logic behind such a rule. Apparently nobody knows but maybe because on average there is a lot of coffee drinking(4-6) each day, milk is avoided after breakfast to avoid indigestion! But then, why so much gelato in the afternoon if you are avoiding milk after breakfast!! Never got the logic.
Thank you so much Marco for the information. Can you please elaborate if there is a way to know when you pay for your coffee? If you choose to sit and drink a coffee do you seat yourself or wait for someone to show you to a table?
Mi piace "Inevitaly."
Aww grazie mille, sono molto contento ☺️
@@inevitaly. Marco, ma a proposito di nomi, il nome iniziale che aveva il tuo canale (Marco in una scatola) come nacque ? :)
Ma, certo - Prego! P.s. looking especially well here ... Can I ask what you use for such white teeth?! They are brilliant 😊
Thank you Ron 😁 I use just a regular Crest 3D White toothpaste (available at any US pharmacies and grocery stores). Especially great to remove...coffee stains (I do drink a lot of espressos you know 😉) Here it is: amzn.to/42DzW20 🪥🦷
just wanted to check how to call a cafe creme, normal coffee in italy
7-8 minutes video full of advertisements
title must be corrected for it's intended content
Ciao Marco. Is Danesi coffee your family's company? Grazie.
I wish :) No, unfortunately it's just someone else with my same last name (which is why I bought this moka and ground coffee). It's a coffee brand from Rome
In Italy, for example, there are also some people who have the surname Ferrari, but with the Ferrari company they have nothing to do. :)
No more Marco in the box ?
Hello, I recently rebranded the channel as "Inevitaly" (as explained here: czcams.com/video/vi1ZCXFbUJY/video.html) but it's still 100% me behind it 😊
I wonder where Graz -EEEEE in American attempt to pronounce the word came from? I dont think it's just from the way it's spelled, I could swear I heard it a lot when I was a kid on some stupid commercial or a movie of some sort.
Questo è pura tortura. Dove vivo un caffè decente è una cosa dal tutto alien, dovunque vai... Fa comunque rivivere le mie radici emozionali italiane, quindi grazie !!!! Have un'vero caffè on me !!
☕☕☕
Buon caffè Jay!
Keep in mind that all of this doesn't apply to the city of Trieste, but fortunanlly the bars there have an informative next to the counter to teach you how to ask what you want 😂😂
this guy is handsome hah
