We have a European engineer visiting us. I just walked through the lab, and he brought an espresso machine with him. I don't know whether to be insulted or to beg a cup.

delete this;Not everyone in Europe is in this mood: The spaniards, italians and portuguese love strong coffee. The french and germans have it a little bit more softer. The northern countries drink coffee all day... of course it is really soft... We have bought an horrible coffee machine in order to be able to offer the kind of coffee the Denmark people likes when they come to our company... And the last time I came to the USA... well the coffee was as I had been warned... ;P It is curious how in different countries something as basic as the coffee (the drink that helps all the programmers in the world) changes... PS: Beg a cup... this is the best option... PS2: Be sure that when he leaves he believes that the espresso machine is broken so you could keep it...

I don't know if the quality of the final brew is different but he had the version that takes little packs of coffee rather than ground coffee. The stuff tasted awesome at the time, but that may have been because I was shaking due to a combination of adrenalin and cold and any cup of coffee that was above average strength and decently hot would have tasted good

It always annoys me when our European colleagues visit and bitch about the coffee. Yeah, we get it, your coffee's better. Now STFU.
- Espresso is not coffee, its Espresso. 2) Kona coffee from Hawaii, Dominican Coffee, and Kenyan coffee are all better than typical European coffee.

Two SA people, now living here in Italy, told me SA pizza is like the US one: a lot of ALL (cheese, tomatoes, red peppers, zucchini, salami, etc...) on it. I don't like pizza the US way. Anyway one day I'm going to come there and I'll taste something local. What do you suggest? :)

delete this;Ask for a cup :) Don't beg... :) And to the guy who said espresso isn't coffee: WATER + Coffee Beans = Wet Coffee Beans and Dirty Water. Same stuff, flavor varies, all AWESOME! I love this stuff my wife found now: Toddy or Toddi coffee... it's STRONG... but to tase. It's a cold brew so your cafience not get burned up - takes 6-12 hours... coffee, cold water.. long time wait... then you drain this BLACKKKKKK concentrate... then add milk, water, sugar to taste - heat optional. I just do like 2 inches toddy, 5 sugars, 5 inches of milk and it takes like those starbuck frappachinos for MUCH MUCH less :)
