    Italian living in Sweden here.

    It’s also a matter of weather imo. I guess Us coffee is quite similar to the swedish, and it’s unbeatable in a cold weather. But yeah, it has backsides as you said.

    Espresso is effective and woth when it gets 30° and over, but it’s not easy to get a good one and since I started with the Swedish one, it sounds a bit unsatisfying, it’s just a sip, I miss the comfy side.

    The middleware is the “real” Italian coffe. Italy it’s probably synonym of espresso but Italians drink “moka” home (at least before fucking Jorge Clooney startes to promote Nespresso machines). Moka in the coffe you made with the known Bialetti machine. Easy to do, pretty strong, but not so washy

      That’s the thing … I’m up in northern Ontario in Canada where we can get -40 degree weather in February. The winter is probably the only time I’ll prefer big cups of hot coffee … only because I want to drink lots of hot liquid to keep me warm … but even then I regulate how much I drink because it is really a big pain to drink lots of drip coffee, get outside in cold temperatures bundled up in pants, jeans, long underwear, jackets, shirts, belts and then have the urge to pee!!!
