The Rich Coffee Culture of Naples

It's common knowledge that Italians love their coffee, with hundreds of espresso cafes dotted throughout the country. Naples is no different, with much of the population relying on a morning caffeine kick to start their day. For the most part, locals in Naples order a small espresso to get them going, so follow suit if you want to blend in and experience coffee like the best of them.

It's not just the popularity and necessity of coffee that makes the hot drink culture in Naples so interesting. There are also a number of customs that weave into the coffee culture which are good to know about before you go. One of the best traditions is the caffe sospeso, which refers to the act of someone paying for two coffees but only taking one. The other coffee can then be taken and drunk by someone less fortunate -- someone who can't afford to buy their own coffee.

This tradition began in the south of Italy around Naples and, whilst it may not be as apparent as it was in the past, it still goes on in the more local coffee houses. If you're feeling generous, why not order a caffe sospeso.

We have a range of Naples apartments within walking distance of numerous authentic cafes so you can get a feel for the local coffee culture.
