#3If the world goes to shit and the Swiss are the only ones left with coffee, then I’ll be most pissed off.
The Swiss, quite frankly, don’t deserve coffee. They don’t know how to make it, and they don’t know how to drink it. The Swiss are good at many things, but coffee is not on that list.

I kind of doubt anywhere that close to Italy, large portions of whom speak Italian, has uniformly bad coffee.

In some mountain huts without tap water and only disconnected solar electricity you can't have espresso machines. You'll get filter coffee from melted snow. It's heartwarming, though.

In most mountain huts it’s instant which sucks.
But where is this stigma that the only true coffee is espresso coming from ? I far prefer good filter.

In fact there's excellent coffee in Ticino.

On average it's true, but we make Nespresso.

I mean we don't really use espresso machines in Italy, we use moca's. Moca machines can run easily on a camp stove. Try it, you'll get better coffee from a camp stove than most espresso machines, promised!
