Enjoying coffee in Puglia Italy: espresso, espressino and nocciolino coffees
One of the things you should not miss when you come to Puglia is certainly trying all the different kinds of "coffee" we have. In Puglia and in Lecce we have so many types of coffee: -espresso with moka (made at home with Moka machine) -espresso (made at the bar with the special machine) -espresso ristretto (very short espresso) -espresso macchiato (with a little bit of foam milk) -espressino (typical from Lecce) -cappuccino -nocciolino -granita caffè -espressino estivo (summer espressino) -espresso corretto (espresso with liquor) -and many more..... Every moment of the day requires a different coffee (i.e. Italians never have a cappuccino after lunch or in the afternoon). Every time we meet someone we have a coffee: we may have 4, 5 coffees per day....sometimes even more. You would say, it's a lots of caffein. However, the key is to have just one shot espresso each time. Very rarely we would have a "caffè doppio" (two shots of espresso coffee).
The first thing Pugliese people do in the morning, very soon after they wake up, is to have a coffee made with a Moka machine. The smell of the coffee made with a moka machine and the sound of the coffee coming up are rituals that take place every morning in all Pugliese houses. Everybody has a moka machine at home, which is supposed to make the best espresso coffee.
Then, we go to a bar for the typical breakfast in Lecce: espressino and pasticciotto. Espressino is served in a small glass coffee cup. It is made of one shot of espresso, with a bit of foam milk, and cocoa powder both on top and in between the coffee and milk. When the barman is inspired, you get a little heart or flower drawing in your espressino!!
After lunch, it is time for an espresso or for an espresso macchiato (with a little bit of foam milk on top).
