It is so nice to visit a local cafe while traveling and relax with a cup of coffee. But there are a number of cities in which coffee is not just a drink, but a real culture. There is no place for low quality in these coffee centers.
Italy Rome
High-quality and undiluted Espresso is firmly entrenched in the daily menu of the inhabitants of the Italian capital. They prefer black, strong, undiluted coffee without milk and various additives. Lovers of strong and natural coffee taste will appreciate these culinary qualities.
Austria Vienna
Vienna's coffee houses are filled with a special atmosphere and the highest quality of the drink, because it is not for nothing that the coffee houses of this Australian city are listed in the UNESCO honorary list as an intangible world heritage. Just like in Italy, they like espresso here, but apart from it, you should try the world famous Cappuccino (espresso with frothed milk) and a special coffee drink of Austrian cuisine - Melange (espresso with frothed milk and whipped cream).
Turkey, Istanbul
The Turkish way of making coffee even gave rise to a separate name for the dishes - Turk, in which people from many countries prepare coffee in the oriental way by brewing ground coffee beans. But of course, baristas from Turkey have achieved special skill in this matter. Special dishes and a long time for the disclosure of the aroma of the grains create a rich and unique taste of a strong drink.
Cuba, Havana
In metropolitan Cuban coffee houses, espresso is prepared with sugar. But they do not dissolve it in the finished drink, but add it to the container for coffee beans during preparation in an espresso machine. This makes the coffee stronger and richer, but its taste becomes much softer.
USA, Seattle
Seattle is home to the world's most famous coffee shop, Starbucks. Needless to say, although the taste of Starbucks coffee is appreciated in any country, in his hometown the level of quality is much higher than Starbucks from any other city. And it's definitely worth a visit to this atmosphere of the birth of American coffee houses.
Iceland, Reykjavik
In this country, a separate holiday is even dedicated to a drink made from coffee beans - the Day of Sunny Coffee. Locals appreciate not only the taste of coffee, but also its compatibility with various desserts. Combining Latte (coffee with milk) with warm apple pie - what could be better!
Australia, Melbourne
Melbourne hosts an annual coffee industry exhibition. The local drink is Latte Piccolo, an espresso made with milk. It differs from latte only with a slightly higher espresso content. But the peculiarity of the city is the presence of several districts, in each of which coffee is prepared in different ways, and, therefore, the tastes of the drinks are completely different.
New Zealand, Wellington
In this small New Zealand capital, it is simply impossible to find bad coffee establishments. The coffee culture is developed here and is highly valued. Wellington's symbol is Moccachino - a drink made from espresso, milk and chocolate.
