My first experience at ordering coffee in Italy was a disaster. With a little hesitation I approached the bartender and in my broken Italian I asked for a cafe' con latte, thinking he would give me the equivalent to a flat white. The poor bartender looked at me as though I had asked him for his bank details and phone number or something equally disturbing. Within the minute an espresso was produced with a little pot of milk next to it. Well it was what I had asked for! I soon discovered that to order a flat white is to ask for a cappuccio or cappuccino, senza schiuma (without froth). I have now also learnt it is only the tourists that drink coffee with milk outside of breakfast-a habit I refuse to break, to my husband's disdain.
Here, then, for those who fancy going native, are the Ten Commandments of Il Culto del Caffè according to Lee Marshall of the Travel Telegraph.
