Italy is where I fell in love with Espresso. I went on a road trip with my brother from Rome down to Sicily and somewhere on the way we stopped at a petrol station and I went in and there was a Espresso Bar with a barista there where you could stand and drink your espresso, the barista didn’t even handle the money, he was just doing those espresso shots all the time for the people, you would pay somewhere else.
And oh my god it was so good, I had no idea coffee could taste so good. Before that it would always kind of taste burned and watery, but this one was chocolaty, sweet, smooth, nutty all of the flavors developing in my mouth from this little but of concentrated coffee.
Recipe for the perfect espresso in my region in Italy (local dialect): “Sbrusá, sentá, scrocá” (burnt, sitting at a table, scrounged)
…for myself, I hate burnt coffee, I like drinking espresso standing at the bar and gladly pay for good beans!

That made me later buy a Italian Espresso Machine and a fancy grinder, a Rocket Appartamento and a Eureka Mignon Specialita https://tube.jeena.net/w/aUSfL2W3eMzZWS7D9ZtTs6
