Cappuccino and Italy go hand in hand. There is no more iconic experience than standing at the bar quickly shooting down a caffè (that’s espresso to those who don’t live in Italy) while in looking your best. Coffee culture is Italian but did you know that Italy is a mosaic of coffee subculture, each with its own rules and rituals, and everyone believes his or her way is the best, of course. No one knows this better than Italy’s coffee expert and consultant Damian Burgess .
In this episode, Damian spills the coffee beans on what makes Italian coffee and its culture so beloved around the world. As co-founder of 3 Coffee Guys, Damian has a burning passion for educating coffee lovers worldwide on coffee that brought him from Australia all the way to Piemonte. Pour a cup of espresso, an americano, whatever you prefer and take a dip into the world of Italian coffee with me.
