Here you have 5 rules on how to drink an espresso like a true Italian:

N1: Italians rarely take the coffee to go! Espresso is a pleasure so you need to take your time and drink it sitting down or if in a rush you can drink it at the counter.

N2: Always drink a glass of water before your espresso, it will help to clean your palate 
and appreciate all the flavors of a good coffee

N3: DO NOT lick the spoon, that goes against the rules of etiquette, just leave it
on the side when you're done using it.

N4:  Should you stir the coffee clockwise or counterclockwise? None of the two!
you should always mix it from top to bottom to distribute well aromas and flavors.

N5: Wet the edge of the cup with a little coffee, if you want to act like a true Neapolitan,
that reduces the difference of temperature between your lips and the coffee so you won’t burn your tongue.
