Naples considers itself — with considerable justification — the true capital of Italian coffee. Neapolitan espresso is darker, stronger, and sweeter than the rest of Italy, pulled with local water that locals insist makes all the difference. The 'caffè sospeso' tradition (paying for a coffee in advance for someone who can't afford one) was born here and embodies the city's generous spirit.

The 'caffè sospeso' (suspended coffee) — paying for an extra coffee to be claimed by someone in need — originated in Naples and has since spread worldwide as a symbol of community generosity.
