Heavens, don't drink the beverage that Starbucks will serve you if you ask for "coffee." That's brewed in advance and kept hot in a dispenser until you buy it. Order an espresso-based drink like a latte or americano. That'll be much more like what you had in Italy. If you must buy "coffee" get something made in the Clover, but not every store has one. (They're fickle machines, break down easily.)
