"How can you drink Americano with ice?"

"For Koreans, it's iced Americano. Even if it's so cold in the middle of winter that you might freeze to death, Americano should be as cold as ice."

"Are you adding ice to an already bland Americano?"

It was a response that he could not understand at all.

"Yes. Sometimes I drink it hot, but most Koreans like iced Americano."

"Mamma mia!"

Lucino shook his head left and right as if he couldn't understand. He was surprised by Korea's coffee culture, which he had never heard of before.

In Italy, where there is no culture of drinking Americano cold, it was strange to put ice in coffee.

A little later, a male employee brought Lucino an espresso and Anna a cup of warm coffee in a teacup and a glass full of ice.

As Anna poured coffee into a glass full of ice, Lucino could not keep his mouth shut.

A cold Americano... It was something he couldn't even imagine. It wasn't that he was ignoring Anna's tastes. He was just a little surprised because he was witnessing for the first time something he had never imagined before in his life.

"It's still delicious when you drink it like this."

There was a lot of ice so the warm Americano got cold quickly. Anna muttered while drinking Americano with melted ice floating in it.

"Do Koreans really like that?"

He looked at Anna in disbelief as she enjoyed her iced Americano.

"Yes!"

"How can you drink like that? How amazing."

"Do you drink hot coffee in Italy even in the summer? Do you think summers in Italy are cool?"

Anna tilted her head and asked questions one after another. Savoring her iced Americano.

"I rarely drink Americano itself. Because Italians love espresso. Well, when it comes to cold coffee, there is something called shakerato."

"Sikhye... Latte?"

To Anna's ears, Lucino's pronunciation sounded like Sikhye Latte.

"Caffè shakerato. It is made by adding ice to espresso and shaking it. In English, we use the same word as shake, but in Italian pronunciation it is called Caffè shakerato. In addition to ice, we sometimes add sugar or syrup."

"Sounds similar to an iced Americano?"

"It's not bland like Americano. Because you drink it after shaking it several times, there is a lot of foam at the top."

"I see. I'd like to try it."

For Anna, who had never been to Italy, none of the stories Lucino told were boring and just interesting.

In Korea, there are few people who enjoy drinking espresso, and it was her first time hearing about shakerato, so she was surprised.

It was fun and enjoyable to have this kind of conversation even over coffee, which was nothing special.

Anna was excited about having conversations in a foreign country that could only be had by going to another country in person or meeting people from that country.
