In Italy , coffee is fast . People do not sit down with a big cup . They stand at the counter . They drink , they pay , they go . The whole visit takes about two minutes . The person behind the counter is the barista . The barista makes a small , strong coffee : the espresso . The name means " pressed out " . The machine presses hot water through the coffee . The result is one small cup with a big taste . The first espresso machine appeared in Milan in 1901 . Every drink at the bar has its own name . A macchiato is an espresso with a little milk . The word means " stained " . The drop of milk " stains " the black coffee . One word tells you the whole recipe . The cappuccino has a story too . Long ago , Capuchin monks wore warm brown robes . Maybe the drink takes its name from their color . But be careful : Italians drink cappuccino only in the morning . After lunch , they order only espresso . At the bar , many people say just two words : " One coffee . " That always means one espresso . So Italian coffee is not only a drink . And people learn it standing at the counter , in two minutes .
