Coffee and Milk in Italy

In Italy, people drink coffee in different ways at different times of the day.

In the morning, Italians often have a cappuccino, which is coffee with hot milk.

But after lunch, Italians do not usually drink milk in their coffee.

Italian coffee culture is thorough and has many rules about what to drink and when.

You can still ask for coffee with milk after lunch, but the waiter may look surprised.
