Yes or is it No? Cappuccino after 12h Long discussions.
Ewww no. No cappuccino after 11h. hahaha amatures. i can drink espresso, and extra strong coffee in the morning. so every morning i have several coffees (sometimes 6) and maybe 1 espresso and... in an hour i can be asleep. caffeine does NOTHING. i drink it cuz i just like the taste. french press and porover, plus a cheap espresso rig. and i make that stuff STRONG. so im have a coffee before i go to bed. having my evening cuppa now. Cappuccino after 11 has nothing to do with caffeine. It is about the milk in it. Coffe + milk means breakfast. Having expresso after a dinner is perfectly acceptable and a standard request from the waiter just before the bill. The milk is also responsible for slower release of caffeine to the brain. Less shakyness. You can even combine that with an amino acid called L-Theanine, which is basically calming on the mind and it mixes well with uplifting, concentrating effects of caffeine. You're right there, fillippone, if you want caffeine rushes, espressi are the way to go (if your stomach plays along). I eat quite small amounts every day, because the milk of the many cappucini and latte's i drink over the day is feeding quite well, too.

I won't let symbols and semantics dictate when to satisfy my taste buds.

It's just a culture clash. For italians, espressi and cappucini are like a part of their identity. And they do make the best of coffee, imho, for a reason. It's not just enjoying taste, it's more like a tradition, with pros and cons that allow that friction regarding this "simple" topic. Just my 2 cents.

I didn't point out the fact that "italian" roasts are based off mainly brazilian, african and asian raw, sundried coffee beans. There is no such thing as "italian coffee", because it is typically not grown in Italy (though yes, in very minor quantities in the south), but the roast is what makes that special blend off the import beans. EDIT: I was once dating the daughter of a coffee-manufacturer (also only roasting and distribution), she became a friend in the process, everything i know about coffee, i learned it all from her, also how to make the most delicious cup without any type of coffee-machine.

Correct. Italian coffee has to do the way of preparing and consuming it: Moka at home, and espresso outside. There are then hundreds of variations, even abomination like “American coffee” now that we have Starbucks in Italy as well.

I don't know what it is (EDIT: what made Starbucks so successful), but from all Starbucks i went to in the US and Europe, i was never excited by the taste of it. Even at my mothers house, she's a Nespresso user, i choose almost every unfavored coffee over Starbucks', but only if there are no more Illy capsules left. I also tell her constantly: If you want me to visit you, make sure you have the caps by Illy at home.

You are a good taster The Illy blend is one of my favourites, it has that flavour that is a bit reminiscent of chocolate and caramel, I like it a lot. But if you want to replicate the taste of Italian espresso coffee at home as well, don't use a ready-made capsule coffee machine, but rather use an espresso machine with a filter holder, similar to the ones you can see in Italian coffee bars, buy the coffee powder strictly 'Borbone blu'  and you will enjoy a 10-star Italian espresso coffee Sorry for the OT, but I really liked the discussion you guys started

Tbh… really like Italian coffee’s but recently spending a month in Vietnam….. they have some amazing coffee’s Didn’t expected it, but they where amazing beyond believe Water quality is also very important to flavor of coffee. USA water sucks. Fluoride and other chemicals are often added. I use a whole house water filter I then use a reverse osmosis water filter. I have a Russian friend in Brooklyn he has been roast beans for years some time s he makes a very nice one. As for Keruic I would send each and every one to the fucking moon. Worst coffee idea ever. I am going to filter water for a pot of coffee as soon as I send this. I use a percolator to make 1 liter which I then run through a filter into a thermos. As hot plates kill coffee. Also black only no milk no sugar no creamers. Have it with a cannoli if you want cream and sugar. Don't spoil the taste of black coffee

A couple weeks ago a former colleague of mine who had previously introduced me to the moka pot for brewing coffee sent me am image of a new coffee beverage he had discovered and instructions on how to make it. Basically an egg yolk and one or two teaspoons of sugar whipped into a foam then pour your espresso (or moka) into it. I have no idea what it's called but it's delicious. I just got a few duck eggs from a friend the other day so I might just try it with one of those and make a double
