Il Caffè della Mattina

Every morning, Marco wakes up at seven, with the sun filtering through the curtains. He gets dressed quickly and leaves the house, feeling the fresh morning air. He walks down the street to the bar below his home, listening to the birds singing. The bar is called "Bar Roma" and it is very small, but always full of voices and laughter. Marco enters and says: "Good morning! A coffee, please." The barista smiles and prepares an espresso. The coffee is strong and hot, with an aroma that fills the air. Marco drinks his coffee at the counter, like many regular customers, savoring the moment. He also eats a croissant with jam, sweet and flaky. " How much does it cost?" Marco asks, with a smile. " One euro and fifty cents," the barista answers, with a nod. Marco pays and leaves a small tip, appreciating the service. " Thanks, see you tomorrow!" Marco says, as he heads for the door. Then he walks toward the office, with the scent of coffee still in his nose. The morning starts well with a good coffee and a smile. As he leaves, Marco decides that the next day he will try his coffee without sugar, following the barista’s advice.
