This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Why is chocolate milk on this graphic but not regular (non-espresso) coffee? The chocolate milk is the only thing without espresso in it.
There is no "non-espresso" coffee in Italy. You're basically describing how the Americano came to be.
If that's the reason, I guess the graphic would be better labeled as "Drinks available in Italian cafes".
Do they call chocolate milk a type of coffee in Italy?
I don't understand what you mean by "regular (non-espresso) coffee".
Espresso is coffee brewed by forcing water through the grounds at high pressure. As opposed to "regular" coffee made in something like a drip coffee maker, pour over cone, or French press.
Espresso is so much better. The coffee is more full-bodied, smooth, and nuanced. You must not have had good espresso.
Drip coffee is just dirty water.
It sounds like we could be friends. I agree with everything you said in both comments. Light roast pour over all the way.
This looks like a very enjoyable bean! Thanks for introducing me to Kuva, seems like a good brand. Unfortunately they only ship within the US, but I this makes sense - don't want to get stale beans delivered overseas.
I've just moved to a new city and am trying out a local roaster's bourbon and caturra from Guatemala .
Der Kaffee ist ganz gut, aber leider sind die verschiedenen Sorten der Rösterei eher ähnlich vom Geschmack. Und dein Deutsch ist gut verständlich! Ein weiteres Jahr würde aber auch nicht schaden ;)
Sounds like you either don't like strong flavors, or haven't had good espresso. Modern espresso even can have paper filters.
because regular coffee is for peasants. it's so god awful that hot chocolate is better.
