Coffee is not a drink in Italy. It is a religion. If you've been to Italy, you have realized how important the coffee culture is. And I believe Italians are the best at roasting coffee. I have ranked 16 of the biggest Italian coffee brands in the world. The best coffee beans don't come from Italy. They come from Brazil or Jamaica or Colombia or whatever. But they are roasted in Italy. And I think the Italians really do an amazing job at roasting coffee. Not saying this, everyone does. What we're judging here are three factors. The roast profile. Is it burnt or perfectly dark? Robusta versus Arabica. Arabica is smooth. Robusta is caffeine heavy and creates the cream, the soul. Does it taste like an Italian bar? Let's start with Starbucks. I know it's not Italian, but it's worldwide. It's everywhere and they're very busy. So, I don't even want to talk about it. It's burnt sugar milkshakes. So, for me, it's a D tier. Bellini. This is professional grade. Elegant and balanced. A tier. Bourbon. The working man's fuel. Very high caffeine. It punches you in the face. For me, it's a B tier. Beti. They make the best mocha pots in the world, but the coffee beans, I think they need to stick to the coffee machines. So see it here. Kimbo Naples in a cup. It is dark, oily, and intense. If you want to feel like a local, you drink Kimbo. You will wake up the day. So powerful. S tier. Santio coffee. This is a Roman legendary coffee. If you have been to the Pantheon in Rome, you know the smell of Santio Takio. It's iconic. A tier. Verano. A solid northern roast from Torino. Smooth. Guma. For me, it's a B tier. Splendid. It's cheap, flat, and maybe bitter. For me, it's a D tier. Sega Fredo. It's everywhere. It's a very popular brand, and lots of people drink it. In my opinion, I want to be rushed. I'm sorry. I will give it a C tier. Ilikaf 100% Arabica. Very smooth, very floral. It's a great coffee, but you are paying double for the fancy silver tin. It is a coffee for the rich. A tier. Lavata Gualita Rosa. This is the Toyota of coffee. It's reliable. It works. It's in every grandmother's house. Maybe it's a little bit boring, but it works. It's a B tier. Cafe Gulmo. The pride of Calabria. It's rich, chocolaty, and incredible. Again, not very easy to find, but if you do, don't miss it. S tier. Museti. Another great coffee from the northern part of Italy. Beautiful creme. Again, for me, it's a B tier. Danzi, that's another Roman coffee. And if you've been to Rome, you might have seen the logo in many cafes. That's a good A tier. Cafe Ma. Strong, bold, a good start to the morning. A tier. Pasal Aqua. Look for the yellow theme with the Native American logo. This is a cult classic in Naples. It is perfection. S tier. Guys, stop drinking dirty water. Get yourself a mocha pot and drink some A or S tier coffee. Which one do you drink? Do you agree with my ranking? Let me know in the comment below. Ciao.
