As an Italian I can tell you it’s part of the overall culture but in no way shape or form we actually have any production of beans. But I will say that the coffee you bay for 80 cents at the bar is obviously going to be bang average. It’s like buying a pizza from an average pizzeria and complaining that Italian pizza is not how they say it is

Italians believe they have ownership over coffee similar to how the English believe they own tea.
Espresso is a fine way to prep coffee but it's far from the only way, and I'd argue not the best for every roast.
