Italy has near-uniformly bad coffee, unless your idea of good coffee is the cheapest, dark roasted "arabica" found on earth.

Can you even tell the difference between arabica and robusto when the beans are roasted to taste like fire pit ash? That said, Americans are no strangers to overroasting our coffee just as we overhop our beer.
yes, easily. robusta tastes like burnt rubber asides from the charcoal that comes from over roasting the coffee, arabica is more neutral no matter what the roast level is.
