Experience Italian coffee the way locals do on this small-group coffee culture workshop in the heart of Rome. Hosted in a family-run café that began as a coffee roastery in 1923, this immersive experience introduces you to the traditions, history, and rituals that have made coffee an essential part of everyday Italian life.
Sample three classic Italian coffee specialties paired with a selection of traditional local pastries, including the iconic cornetto, while learning how it differs from the French croissant. Watch live demonstrations of two iconic brewing methods—the stovetop moka pot found in Italian homes and the professional espresso machine used in cafés—and discover the techniques behind each perfect cup.
Along the way, your local host will share the unwritten rules of Italian coffee etiquette, from why Italians rarely order a cappuccino after noon to how to confidently order espresso at the bar like a local. Whether you're a passionate coffee enthusiast or simply looking to experience authentic Roman culture, this engaging workshop offers a deeper appreciation of Italy's beloved coffee traditions.
