Capo, Nero, Deca Capo in B.<\/em> Trieste is steeped in coffee culture<\/strong>. With its own coffee speak and a line up of historic coffee houses and innovative boutiques<\/strong>, Trieste is a caffeinated (or even deca) delight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ever since June 1717 when Emperor Charles VI declared the city a free imperial port, Trieste has been brewing with cafe culture. <\/strong> As one of the key ports of the Mediterranean, coffee was imported from around the world to Trieste\u2019s front door, and the city did its very best to satiate the Habsburgs and the ever growing Austro-Hungarian empire<\/strong> with the dark and bitter beverage. By the mid1800s, Trieste ran Europe\u2019s coffee trade and the city prospered. Lavish coffee houses<\/strong> were built and became meeting points from politicians and patricians to intellectuals and rebels.<\/strong> Coffee took on a life of its own as short shots evolved into milky confections. Coffee drinking <\/strong>was practically the official pastime<\/strong>, which has lasted to this day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
