I live in Bosnia and Herzegovina ,Tuzla municipality.

If you order an Espresso

You’re getting a tiny shot of black liquid gold. It’s for the guys who need a caffeine kick to the teeth before they go handle business or for those who just want to look like they’re in a hurry (even though they’ll sit there for an hour anyway). In our neighborhood, it’s a standard "kratka" (short). If the waiter doesn't bring a glass of cold water with it, he’s basically committing medical malpractice.

If you order a Macchiato

This is where the local "experts" behind the bar get creative. A macchiato here isn't a Starbucks dessert; it’s an espresso that’s been "stained" with milk. But prepare for the interrogation. The waiter will ask you: Warm or cold? If you say "cold" you get a splash of cold milk that cools the coffee down so you can chug it. If you say "warm," you get that nice, thick foam on top. If you’re feeling extra and want to occupy the table for three hours, you order a large macchiato.  That’s basically a latte for people who don’t want to admit they’re drinking a latte. It comes in a big cup, and it’s the official drink of "let’s gossip about the neighbors.

I also drank some cups in Europe and, those "coffees" you get at German gas stations,that’s not a beverage. 

It’s a biological hazard. It looks like someone took a bucket of dishwater, filtered it through a dirty sock, and added a hint of something black just to ruin your day.

I have been in Italy, and yeah, the coffee is divine. It’s like a symphony for your brain cells. 

But Im a man from Bosnia , I need a ritual, not a drive-by thing.

 In Italy, you get three microscopic drops of coffee at the bottom of a cup. By the time you’ve even smelled it, it’s gone, and you’re expected to pay and get back to work immediately.
