Ciao at all and benvenuti to Untold Italy, the travel podcast where you go to the towns and

villages, mountains and lakes, hills and coastlines of

Bella Italia. Each week your host, Katie Clark, takes you on a journey in search of magical

landscapes, history, culture, wine, gelato, and of course, a whole lot of pasta. If you're dreaming

of Italy and planning future adventures there,

you've come to the right place.

Ciao friends. I hope you're all well and busily planning your Italy trips. This week we're replaying

one of our favourite episodes from last year and it's all about cafe or coffee. It's fair to say that

the coffee culture is an integral part of the fabric of life in Italy. Not simply a beverage,

there's a ritual and routine surrounding coffee that permeates

each and every day. Enjoying and taking part in this culture is one of the pleasures of visiting

Italy and someone who has perfected this art is Michael Horn from Do Coffee. Michael is a frequent

traveller to Italy who shares his love of their coffee culture and gives some tips on how you too

can enjoy it on your trip. So let's dive in and find out all about the coffee culture in Italy.

Benvenuto, Michael, chow and welcome onto the Untold Italy podcast.

Thank you for having me, Katie. It's a real pleasure to be here. I'm really excited to chat

about things, coffee in particular. Oh, absolutely. I love Italian coffee, and it's a particularly

favorite topic of mine because I just am obsessed with Italian coffee. It's just the culture of it,

the rituals about drinking the coffee. It's so important in Italy, not just the actual drink.

But before we get started on all of that, I'm curious, how did you discover Italy

an Italian coffee?
