Where to Find Specialty Coffee in Rome
"In the United States, you walk into a cafe and see tables occupied by one or two people (mostly), and they’re either chatting amongst themselves, reading, or they have headphones on and are working on a laptop.""Coffee in Rome is a much more social and much quicker experience. Contrast the average coffee shop in the US that I just described with an average Roman coffee shop (which almost is a misnomer, because most places that serve coffee in Italy are also a bar in the afternoon and evening)."
"You walk into a small, skinny space packed with people standing shoulder-to-shoulder at the bar, talking amongst themselves and bantering in Italian with the barista (complaining about something, usually), who is generally wearing a white collared shirt, a tie, and an apron." MORE

Joe, I think I'll just settle for a good old American Cup of coffee. I despised the coffee in Italy as it was stronger than I was.
