Triest Trst Trieszt Trieste Tourism Informations and city Portal

You can get cappuccino or espresso all over Italy. What makes Trieste so special?

Passion and expertise.

Today, Trieste is the leading coffee port in the Mediterranean; supplier of more than 40 per cent of Italy's coffee. There are enormous warehouses of coffee for Europe market. It's one of the few places in the world where you'll find every cog in the coffee-industry wheel: importers, wholesalers, purifiers, roasters, dealers, tasters, not to mention torrefazioni (fresh coffee shops) and hundreds of cafés.

Is the hometown of a famous, international coffe maker and of the world leader firm in coffee's logistics.

The average Triestine drinks twice as much coffee per year as other people – which means they're drinking around 10kg each.

Here are old cafe's Wien - Vienna stile, in the city centre, and you should try and pay a visit to the largest literary café.

Alternatively, you could try Trieste's oldest cafés. These both have elegant lounge areas and warm, friendly atmospheres.

A word of warning: if you order a capuccino in these parts, you will get what is known in the rest of Italy as as caffè macchiato caldo, served in a small cup with frothy milk.
