    Are you ready coffee a p p py it’s a pastry shop okay coffee never take cappucino after 11 a.m. never Italian breakfast it’s simple but for those coming from the outside it may seem complex it’s not the noodles of the east or the cornflakes of the West it’s a sugar caffeine fueled Ferrari

    Reving as early 6:00 a.m. on every Town’s Corner this morning here in Italy I’ll show you how it works and at the end of the video I’ll explain how you get into the secret society that goes by the simple code word breakfast where to go for breakfast when you’re here in

    Italy well think bars or ptia don’t confuse bar with what you normally think of in other countries like the United States in Italy bar means coffee food alcohol life they’re open as early as 6:00 a.m. and Clos as late as midnight you could get a cocktail at 7:00 a.m. or

    A cappuccino at 11: 11 p.m. but I don’t recommend either one of those unlike ptia rier bars they don’t make their own sweets their own croissants their own cornettos they usually get them from a nearby pastry shop or further away from a wholesale Bakery a pastiera that’s a

    Pastry shop and many of them also serve coffee and have tables to sit down inside you’ll find little treats Little Cakes but also coretto the Italian version of a croissant it’s like getting your drugs directly from the fields where they’re grown instead of from a dealer which in this case is the

    Aformentioned bar the drugs we’re dealing with today well those are the sweet and buttery Cornettos cini now Insider Pro tip if you want to pay less especially in a main square or near an important monument in Italy make sure you take your cappuccino or Cafe at the bar Albano instead of sitting down here at a table you’re going to pay a bit of

    A service charge when you take a table here we have the capucino and this is the peace to resistance and the Cornetto which is frankly looking kind of sad this morning sput means juice sput de arancha that would be orange juice here we Are I’ll break down the coffees you should try when you’re here in Italy which types of coffees you should order but let’s talk about Italy’s biggest debate Cornetto versus Brios what do you call this thing right here well Brios is used mostly in the north all around

    Italy they go by the word CET to describe this thing right here what separates this from its French counterpart its French cousin well this includes egg in its ingredients and it’s not as buttery and and it’s not as buttery and baked in a Buttery uh crispy

    Crush flaky I thought I said flaky and it’s not as buttery and crunchy and Flaky as the croissant up in France egg yolk it’s brushed on top of it to give it that golden color during baking now which type of cornettos will you typically find in a bar well you can get

    Plain that’s quite boring with nothing on the inside you can get a alam marala which is what I got here today with Jam filling you can get a alaca which is a custard on the inside chocolato which is typically Nutella you’ll need to ask and find out or you can get simple variants

    Like the integral which is a whole wheat pastry Cornetto honey on the inside and of course there’s others like pistachio in a pastiera you’ll Al also find little cakes and little treats as well but I’m doing OG Italian today straight up Cornetto now if you’re hungry there’s no

    Shame in ordering a second Cornetto to go along with your cappuccino no shame at all also remember the orange juice that’s sputa oh perfect this is great if you want to power up get ready for the sight scene during the day or if you’re recovering from a late night the night

    Before a night of feasting get us forut to go along with your C and the Cornet though we watch all your video great now what’s great about this Bermuda is that most of the coffee bars will have their own orange squeezy machine so this stuff is fresh and it’s Cheap not a lot of this whining and dining stuff is is broken down in my EEG guide that you can download down below and stick with me because at the end of the video I’ll explain how in expensive all of this goodness is and of course

    We’ll go into how you’re going to order a coffee when you’re at the bars well it’s simple you just go in ask for your coffee ask for your Cornetto point out which one you want and enjoy if you have to pay first they’ll tell you we’re here at Cafe pascaly and at

    This place you need to pay first get a receipt and then go over to the barino Italian breakfast it’s fast it’s Furious when you’re at the bar you squeeze yourself up into the counter get your little spot now Italians they slam down their cappuccino they eat their

    Cornetto so quickly and then they rush off to work today is Sunday so things well you won’t believe me but things are a little bit calmer today Coffee is as Italian as gondolas and Ferraris to drink a coffee in a local bar is embracing art and culture the bar experience well it’s a bond that ties together Decades of art postwar Industrial ization and indeed tourism in a bar like this enjoying a coffee you’re

    Going to learn much more about the country than you would in any guide book to dip or not to dip well there are two schools of thought one’s the right way and the other way is dunking pastry into a small coffee cup and destroying a perfectly good cappuccino for the sake

    Of discussion I’m doing it and if you must do it you should know the term it’s called inup let’s talk coffee choices when you get into the Italian bar what are you going to order well you can order the straight up espresso Cafe Espresso but only cereal Killers order

    That at 8:00 a.m. in the morning do it if you want my preferred go-to is the cappuccino a shot of espresso with the sweet froy milk on top if you see them spooning out the milk from the pitchure onto the capuccino just look the other way then there’s the cross between the

    Two Cafe macchiato that’s a cafe shot of espresso marked with a little bit of broth melt maiato that’s saying hey I’m a cereal killer but don’t hate me then there’s the makaton and that’s the gray area between a cappuccino and a cafe Macchiato cow other drinks you might find latte macchiato that’s a glass of milk warm milk where they pour a shot of espresso into it it’s good try it’d be similar to what what you call a latte in the United States don’t make the mistake of ordering a Latte when you’re in Italy

    I think all of us have done that at one point you’re not going to get a caffeine type drink you’re going to get just a straight up glass of milk and you probably don’t want that forget cold bruise forget flat whites you’re not going to find them here Italy is the OG

    Coffee hipster okay yeah true there are little coffee shops opening up here across the boot where you may find them but typically you won’t oh man two cappuccinos two cornettos I’m busting at the scams what’s your coffee routine in the morning no we’re not going to Starbucks today do most Italians have

    Coffee at the bars for breakfast well a lot of them take it at home but a lot of them also take it at the bars because it’s so inexpensive you may find yourself wanting to drink more coffee at breakfast but think you’re your head will just spin off what to do well we’re

    Now the great thing in Italy there’s no shortage of cafe coffee bars they’re on every corner look for a bar sign a bar toaca a bar p you’ll get your fix in all those places Jenny where are we going it’s a really cool station that’s if you had too much coffee or

    Just don’t drink it for some odd reason order AA cafea cappucino DEA oh no Cafe dorso get your ticket and order it downo dorso Cafe jining Cafe it’s not too bad Jin sing yeah it it’s a root it tastes pretty good cappuccino dorso it’s what Italian mothers give to their children when

    They’re growing up but it’s a perfect decaffinated option it’s also a gateway drug for those little children it gets them drinking cappuccino style coffees early on and then oh the whole world opens up and that’s what we’re drinking today Italians do have breakfast at home

    Don’t they yeah we do we do uh but it’s a sad Affair To be honest uh it depends but the best thing about it is the little bti mocha pop you pour the espresso right right we have everybody the mocha the mocha it centers around plastic WRA pastries uh either Kender or Mulino

    Bianco Mulino biano they make this one type of bread that’s double baked it looks like C card board it’s called fet d fet d have you had those sorry what f d f yes FIS you spread Jam or Nutella on those you bite into them and crumbs go

    Everywhere with that you’re pouring your mocha pot espresso into a cup and you’re thinking today is going to be a great day yes Italians do have cereal at home or at the stores but basically it’s Corn Flakes or cocoa flakes it’s not great what do you have for breakfast now keep

    They’re out to the general public you get customized you get customized Emoji icons that go with all your comments that change colors the longer you’re a member the cost of all this goodness today well not that much first one was the big ticket item that was โ‚ฌ25 and for

    That we had a cappuccino a orange juice and a Cornetto and my friend had a cappuccino as well 25 but keep in mind you’re paying that fee when you sit down at the table at the bar that would have only cost us5 so 25 at the first location and the second and third

    Location that was around โ‚ฌ4 at each place so overall maybe only $ 32 in total with the expensive early set down at gie Great goodness at low cost I definitely think you should Deep dive into the Italian cappuccino coretto culture when you’re here in Italy now if

    You want to know why you should consider and perhaps go to a Starbucks when you’re in Italy watch this video a

    1. I'm not awake until I have two cups of coffee. When I was in the USAF, I had a seargent who would make a pot of coffee than put fresh coffee grounds in the coffee maker and put the fresh coffee back into the coffee maker. You needed a tablespoon of sugar to drink it. On the rare occasion, he would do tripled brewed coffee. The spoon would stand straight up in the cup and then dissolve. We were flying high on caffeine.

    2. At the risk of being strung up and my body beaten like Mussolini, what if you are not a coffee person (more like Tea or Chai or Hot Cocoa or even Juice)? Are there good go-to-places for that or would you just be run out of town?

    3. Breakfast for me includes coffee with crรจme (would that be a caffรจ con latte?) and usually a buttered, toasted piece of toast or bagel or English muffin. And then maybe a pastry.

    4. look like iยดm a serial killer.
      solo caffe espresso in the morning ๐Ÿ˜…
      sometimes also caffe corretto, but thatยดs later in the day.
      also, nearly gotten a heart attack when i saw 4,50โ‚ฌ for an espresso๐Ÿ˜ตso much more when you sit down, itยดs crazy

    5. Bar San Calisto in Trastavere Rome. We paid $3.80 for two Cappuccinoโ€™s and crรจme cornetto and we sat outside. Incredibly inexpensive compared to most places. We absolutely loved people watching while having breakfast in Italy.
