triangle Script 대본 Roteiro Texto


Finally tonight, Starbucks is planning to open its first store in Italy in 2018. And that's stirring up controversy in the country where espresso was created.

CBS News correspondent Seth Doane has more from Milan.


In Italy, this is the daily ritual, and you don't hear the words Grande venti or Frappuccino. Coffee is simple and straightforward.

It's our way to enjoy the day.

But ask barista Maurizio Casula about Starbucks plans to open and the tone changes.

Can we cut it? Can we cut it?

The Seattle coffee giant makes for awkward conversation here.

Well, I like Starbucks. I like Starbucks. But it's like a big invasion.

An invasion?

Yeah.

Tradition runs deep here in Italy, and coffee is no exception. But with Starbucks planning to open its first store here in Milan next year, is Italian coffee culture under threat?

After all, the cookies and cream frozen cappuccino is already here.

Even before Starbucks arrives, several American-style coffee shops are catering to changing tastes.

Can you make us a unicorn and a cookies and cream, please.

David Nathaniel has eight of these 12-ounce coffee joints and plans to open 100 in the next five years.

Here, customers can sit and drink from disposable cups.

We don't want people to stay at the counter.

Isn't there something beautiful about that?

Absolutely, but there's plenty in Italy like that, so why not give it a nice opportunity of having an alternative.

We found some Americans, including Bob Hodge from Ohio, lamenting the looming US import.

I'm not a huge fan of Starbucks myself. They've run a lot of these mom-and-pop coffee shops out of the U.S.

Now the 150,000 plus small coffee shops here may need to concoct something else strong to hold their ground.

Seth Doane, CBS News, Milan.


And according to Italian baristas, lattes and cappuccinos are meant for the morning, and espressos for the afternoon.

We'll see how that all pans out.
