Espresso Culture
Personally, I prefer to take my espresso straight up with brown sugar or honey. But upon digging through the Internet, I found that people from different nationalities take their espressos differently. Here are some of the ones I found online:
- Most Italians take their espresso with sugar
- The Germans and the Swiss take their espresso with equal parts of hot chocolate.
- Mexicans drink their espresso with cinammon
- Belgians mix their espresso with chocolates, too
- Middle Eastern coffee lovers add cardamom and spices to their espresso
- Austrian put whipped cream on top of their espresso
- Egyptians like their espresso pure and strong that they seldom put sugar, milk, or cream to it.
- Egyptians serve unsweetened coffee for funerals and sweetened coffee for weddings.
As an added espresso fact, the Italians are still considered the unrivaled espresso masters of the world.
