Sicilians love coffee. Itâs a custom that starts the day and, in bars all over the island, you will always find locals taking a break or chatting with friends over a cup of coffee. This is because coffee in Sicily is more than a tradition, it is a ritual. It is not by chance that there are at least ten big factories roasting and packaging coffee on the island. This coffee, different from the American brands, Is black, small and very strong: it is drunk quickly and gives an immediate adrenalin kick. Sitting at the bar of a small Sicilian town, we can experience the unique pleasure of an Italian coffee, chatting with the people at nearby tables, especially older people who have a great experience of life without having ever left their island, and talking about Sicily, its traditions and, of course, its coffee.
