I went to Italy and always asked for a cafe, one guy took one look at me and asked, in English, if I wanted a coffee and then tapped on a pot of drip coffee with an american flag taped to it, or an espresso. I crankily responded "espresso, espresso!" and I will die mad about it.Remember if you go to Italy always ask for a cafe. If you ask for an espresso they'll know you're a tourist and treat you like an English bed-wetting types.
