Why do you get a little glass of water when you order an espresso?

Never seen it in UK but lots abroad. Guess it's because it's hot and caffeine is a diuretic so keep your fluids up? No idea.

I've always took it as a palette cleanser, always been given one in the UK.

Drac if you have coffee in parts of Italy and drink the water after, it means you didn't like the coffee. It's kinda rude. Drink the water first (my boss tells me. She's Sicilian. I'm. Not in a position to argue)

It could be both Maccruiskeen.

Your boss sounds like the kind to tell you it's rude to drink the lemon flavoured water at a curryhouse. Sheesh, some people....

Surely if you drink the water first then its gone before you know whether you like the coffee or not? Am I missing something?
