An Italian coffee lover has told off non-Italians for drinking coffee all wrong.
Nadia, who has more than 2 million followers on her Instagram account The Pasta Queen, often shares delicious recipes on her page.
However, as she addressed her followers in her latest video, she had a stern message for them as she took them to task over their coffee-drinking habits.
She revealed that people who drink cappuccinos after 12pm have got it all wrong.
Speaking to her followers, she said Italians drink cappuccinos as a breakfast drink, meaning it’s practically unheard of for them to have one after lunch.
Nadia, who describes herself as The Pasta Queen on Instagram, has taken non-Italians to task over their coffee drinking habits
As the video opens, a voice off camera asks her if she wants to have a cappuccino.
She looks bewildered and rolls her eyes before replying: ‘No. It’s past 12.’
Nadia continues to explain why Italians don’t drink cappuccinos after noon, slamming her hand on the table before exclaiming: ‘It’s a breakfast drink!’
She says: ‘It’s frothed milk! It’s good to awaken your senses before 10. If you really want to push it, 11. But not after 12.’
Speaking to her 2 million Instagram followers, Nadia explained cappuccinos are a breakfast drink and should not be consumed past noon
Nadia further explains that, when you’re eating a meal, ‘you’ve got enough going on’ in your mouth and your stomach.
‘All you need is a quick espresso,’ she says.
As the self-proclaimed pasta queen conveys the seriousness of the faux pas, she uses an example to better explain how odd it would be to drink a cappuccino past 12pm in Italy.
‘It’s like an American having a hot dog for breakfast,’ she says.
After watching her video, viewers left comments sharing their own experiences ordering coffee in Italy – which proved Nadia’s point.
One person said: ‘I ordered a cappuccino in Italy, the waiter said no.’
However, other people took issue with the rule and commented to share their defiance.
One viewer said: ‘I will continue to have my cappuccino morning, noon and night! I will especially continue to ask for a cappuccino after dinner when travelling in Italy just so I can p*** off the waiter.’
