| 0:00.0 | This is the Untold Italy Travel Podcast and you're listening to episode number 95. |
| 0:11.8 | Ciao at all and benvenuti to Untold Italy, the travel podcast where you go to the |
| 0:17.7 | towns and villages, mountains and lakes, hills and coastlines of Bella Italia. |
| 0:23.5 | 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. |
| 0:35.2 | If you're dreaming of Italy and planning future adventures there, |
| 0:39.0 | you've come to the right place. |
| 0:50.9 | Buonjo, chao. Ciao. Hi everyone. How are you all doing? I have to tell you that I'm excited to be talking about an important part of Italian culture today that goes well beyond simply drinking a cup of this most famous beverage.

| 2:05.1 | Michael is a dedicated coffee drinker and Italianophile from California, |
| 2:09.0 | who has travelled to Italy every year since he first visited in 1995. |
| 2:13.9 | So I am thrilled to have him join us on the show to uncover the mysteries of Italian coffee culture for you. |
| 2:20.6 | Benvenuto, Michael, chow and welcome onto the Untold Italy podcast. |
| 2:25.1 | Thank you for having me, Katie. It's a real pleasure to be here. |
| 2:27.9 | I'm really excited to chat about things, coffee in particular. |
