It sure tasted weak. It's what all the woman drink here, because it supposedly does not have too much coffein. Who is right?
My understanding is in agreement with what wikipedia thinks. The reasoning is that it's the Italian name of "diluted" coffee for those unable to drink the real stuff (i.e. Americans).
However, any real coffee enthusiast wouldn't care much about either variety so I guess it's not exactly a hot topic
