Should you drink espresso after dinner? Here’s why Italians do
Here's why Italians drink espresso at night
Espresso shot

The eating and drinking habits rooted in Italian culture are fascinating, from the specific timing of meals to how meals are prepared. We already know Italians love espresso, which is why many Italians drink a shot of espresso after dinner. Without understanding the origins of this habit, many Americans might wonder why you'd consume a typical "morning" beverage at night. Should you adopt this habit and drink espresso after dinner, too? Here's what to know about drinking an after-dinner espresso.
Enjoying espresso after dinner

Daniele Foti, VP of Marketing of the globally recognized Italian coffee brand Lavazza, shared his insights on this interesting Italian coffee habit. He shared, “In Italy, the tradition of having an espresso after dinner became popular in the 1950s and 60s with the rise of espresso machines in restaurants during La Dolce Vita. While it’s not a strict custom, many Italians enjoy a premium espresso after a meal to share a moment of joy and connection. We drink espresso several times throughout the day and are used to it, so having one at night rarely affects our sleep!"

Klatch Coffee introduces new spring-themed blend, Songbird
A coffee blend from four different origins
Klatch Coffee Songbird

Klatch Coffee has introduced a new, limited-time-only coffee just in time for spring. The Songbird blend features coffees from four origins—Brazil, Colombia, Ethiopia, and Panama—highlighting the natural and washed processing methods. This spring blend was loved by Klatch Coffee customers back in 2024, and the brand is proud to bring it back for 2025. In the face of rising prices and new tariffs, Klatch Coffee has worked hard to get the 2025 edition to market at a price lower than the price in 2024.
Klatch Coffee's Songbird blend delivers the same elegant flavor notes as last year, featuring notes of honeysuckle, white cherry, and molasses, thanks to a blend of Brazil, Panama, Ethiopia, and Colombian beans.
“In 2024, customers told us they loved Songbird, but it was more expensive compared to some of our other coffees," says Mike Perry, Klatch Coffee’s Roastmaster. “It’s no secret that the combination of tariffs, weather, and increased demand continue to drive coffee prices higher worldwide, so we are really excited to deliver Songbird this Spring at a lower price than in 2024!”
In addition to the return of the Songbird blend, Klatch Coffee has also launched a second springtime limited-edition coffee called Peru Geisha. Peru Geisha is delivered in special packaging, containing 310 grams of premium coffee (almost double the amount of coffee compared to other typical Geisha packaging) in a distinctive, re-usable drawcord bag. This coffee highlights the delicate, bright, and clean citrus flavors of high-altitude Geisha grown in the hamlet of Gracias a Dios, District of Lonya Grande in the department of Amazonas, Peru.

Starbucks is all about cherry cream cold foam on its new “not-so-secret” menu
Will you try the new cherry cold foam coffee trend?
Starbucks Iced Mocha with Cherry Cream Cold Foam

At first, cherry cream cold foam with coffee sounds like an interesting flavor combination. Yet, Starbucks believes cherry is trending in 2025 and says you should try it too. On Instagram, Starbucks released a new way for customers to order a Starbucks Iced Mocha with Cherry Cold Foam. You won't find this specialty coffee advertised on Starbucks menus or signs, as it's part of what Starbucks calls its "not-so-secret" menu.

To order a Starbucks Iced Mocha with Cherry Cold Foam, you'll start by ordering an Iced Caffè Mocha without whipped cream. Instead, swap the whipped cream for Cherry Cold Foam with a Cherry Crunch Sweet Topping. The result: A dreamy Iced Mocha with Cherry Cold Foam and Cherry Crunch Topping features Starbucks' full-bodied espresso combined with decadent mocha sauce, milk, and ice, topped with cherry cream cold foam and cherry crunch topping.
If the Iced Mocha with Cherry Cream Cold Foam doesn't sound appealing (or if crunch on your coffee doesn't sound up your alley), Starbucks also suggests a few other ways coffee drinkers can give the "cherry coffee" trend a chance. Some other ways to order cherry cold foam in your Starbucks drink order include:
