Coffee is mostly terrible in Italy. Even Starbucks might be better than the median. McDonalds is junk food - everybody sometimes craves that and it has little tradition in Italy. But pizza? Italy is so traditional with food that its hard to find anything else than pasta and pizza. So Dominos was competing with like 50% of all food vendors.

Might be it's just not something we are used to in NZ/AU - in Italy you get like 20ml of espresso or if it's cappuccino it's something like 50ml. Quality will be ok. But I can't remember getting 100-200ml drink (i.e. cortado, flat white) for longer enjoyment.

Lol. Tried coffee in Germany, Austria, France, Spain, Netherlands, USA, Mexico... Only decent coffee was made by italian machines. Starbucks coffee is pure shit compared to an average italian one, literally very hot garbage water.

I don't know about Italy. I was in Poland for couple days, and we decided to check if Starbucks is any good - we've ordered filter, espresso, and few kinds of coffee with milk. It's the most disgusting coffee you can ever find, and costs higher than any other cafe. I just don't get it.
