An espresso enthusiast tries caffe d'orzo at Milan airport, a barley-based caffeine-free drink Italians drink in the evening instead of coffee. She orders it straight, no sugar, and finds it pleasant and familiar-tasting.
The Milan International Airport, and I'm so excited because I went to the espresso bar here, which when I'm in Italy, like I'm an espresso baraholic. Like it's just the best culture ever. Anyways, so it's nighttime and my flight's about to take off, and I saw on the menu there's this something called Orzo, O R Z O, and I looked it up and it's a barley caffeine-free drink that some Italians like to drink in the evening whenever. They don't want to have that caffeine spike, but they want to have that espresso hit. So I'm going to try it now for the first time and see. I'm going to try it first without sugar. It might spin. It's nice. Yeah, it's really nice. It's nice without sugar. I think I've had something similar to this before. But yeah, it's, it's good. I might try a little with sugar, but it tastes really good without sugar.
