Celebrate National Coffee Day as the Italians do, and discover Italy’s favorite coffee beverages with Basta Pasta!
Sunday, September 29 is National Coffee Day! Whether you prefer a dark roast or decaf, there’s no better way to start the day than with a delicious cup of coffee. Celebrate National Coffee Day as the Italians do, and discover Italy’s favorite coffee beverages with Basta Pasta!
Cappuccino
Classic Italian coffee beverages involve a strict set of rules that are followed by all. Coffee orders depend on the time of the day, and each drink serves a specific purpose! For example, cappuccinos are typically reserved for breakfast time. This beverage consists of a shot of espresso and equal parts of milk foam or steamed milk. Sip your morning cappuccino with a freshly baked pastry!
Caffè Macchiato
If you order a macchiato at Starbucks, you will receive a large beverage that doesn’t constitute Italy’s definition of the recipe. Instead, a traditional macchiato is served in a small cup and consists of espresso “marked” with a splash of frothed milk. The macchiato can be enjoyed at any time of the day, whether it’s 9 a.m. or 9 p.m.!
Shakerato
Fall is officially here in Maryland, but the weather isn’t cooling off anytime soon. Cold coffee beverages are still in demand, and the shakerato is the perfect order. This classic Italian beverage consists of espresso shaken with ice and sugar! It’s particularly refreshing in the afternoon with a sweet snack.
Cafè Latte
Lattes are considered the cousin of the cappuccino, but it differs slightly in its milk ratio. Lattes contain slightly more milk than a cappuccino and are creamier and more substantial than most coffee drinks. Enjoy a latte in the morning with a newspaper or a good book!
Caffè Hag
If you prefer decaf coffee, “hag” is the perfect way to go. Caffe hag is a shot of decaffeinated espresso that maintains all of the aromatic qualities of a caffeinated coffee. The result is delicious and doesn’t give you the side effects of caffeine! Caffe can be enjoyed at any time of the day, whether early morning or late evening!
