It’s not like our Italian population isn’t concentrated in particular areas either.

Our country is physically as big as the us even though it’s more sparsely populated.

We have still managed to have the humble espresso spread everywhere. And I mean everywhere.

My husband it sorta mad, he actually liked drip coffee for the years it was available out and about! Now, no.

That being said, at home plenty of people still drink instant coffee. No one is a monolith.

We often have espresso machines at home too, some will have a French press instead, and rarely people will have a drip set up.

Stovetop coffee pots are common enough too.

Yes, Aussies definitely do. That drip shit isn’t great at all, barely qualifies as weak bean water here.

It was brought here by Italians. Who drink espresso.

I always hear about how many people are Italian in the states and yet, espresso is lacking there?
