The level of coffee in Italy is unrivaled, so much so that it does not need any explanation. As a country rich in coffee, the attitude towards coffee is different and the type of coffee to drink and when is also clear.
I had a cup of espresso every day since I started in Palermo, and the espresso was definitely much more delicious than in Korea. So, I wondered if different types of coffee would taste different.
It may be because it is the capital, but Rome is the city that is most serious about coffee. There are so many famous cafes that I could just pick the top three, so I chose one of those top three and stopped by in the morning.
To be honest, judging from the atmosphere and the people visiting, it didn't give the impression that it was local and just seemed like a tourist attraction. The price range was naturally higher than average, and many things that could be used as souvenirs were sold.
If you eat on the outdoor terrace, you have to pay a seat fee, so we sat inside and ordered a bread and a cappuccino. For indoor dining, you just have to pay in advance, receive an order form, and give it to the barista.
There were two baristas at the time, and they were smartly dressed and busily serving and cleaning up the coffee with skillful hands. He asked me if I wanted to add sugar to my cappuccino and suggested that I do so.
The cappuccino I ordered came out and it looked completely unadorned, with no latte art or anything like that. I stirred some foam and took a sip. Although the taste of the coffee beans was light, it went down very smoothly and had a nice flavor.
The bread we ate together was an Italian bread called Cornetto that looked like a croissant and was filled with pistachio cream. Rather than feeling buttery like a croissant, the cream inside gave it a sweet taste.
Italian locals say they eat cornetto by dipping it in cappuccino, so I tried it and it was good because the cappuccino seeped through the grain and made it moist. Rather, a more impressive combination than cappuccino.

Caffè Sant'Eustachio is undoubtedly THE coffee in Rome. I have never found in the coffees of other bars such a good and authentic flavor as that of the coffee of the historic bar, located in front of the Church of Sant'Eustachio (hence the name). In addition to the classic simple coffee (more than excellent), I tried the coffee with chocolate and cream, which I found good and sweet enough. The Sant'Eustachio coffee blend is definitely worth trying at least once in your life, and this is also clear to the tourists who always make the bar packed. In fact, the only negative flaw is that, if you want to consume even just a coffee on site, you have to pay a surcharge, which is ridiculous considering that there are very few tables (on the slope and on the street, among other things). Having said that, I correct the goodness of the coffee, which never disappoints here.

It's my favorite color and it's famous, so I always stop by when I come to Rome to buy various souvenirs and drink coffee. But you don’t have to come just because of the “coffee”!! I think you can eat it at a good cafe in Rome.

Although I don't look for coffee much, I really liked it here. It's worth visiting in the morning, before 10 a.m. without a queue and a few hours later, when we walked by, a queue across the entire street.

Hemos visitado este bar innumerables veces en el pasado. Son famosos por servir un excelente capuchino y / o un estimulante espresso “al banco”.
A lo largo de los años, siempre lo consideramos uno de los mejores bares de café de Roma. Sin embargo, nos sentimos muy decepcionados esta vez. Nuestro café fue servido eficientemente, pero su capuchino no estaba ni cerca de lo que solía ser.
Inmediatamente me di cuenta de las burbujas relativamente grandes en la espuma crema, que era muy inusual en un bar romano. El sabor confirmó que se trataba solo de “café con leche”, no de un auténtico capuchino. El capuchino de mi esposa era el mismo.
Nos quedamos francamente decepcionados y sorprendidos. Este bar solía ser uno de los mejores bares de café de Roma. Con suerte, fue una experiencia aislada.
