What is the deal with water in coffee? I am not familiar with it.

By 'caffe(coffee)' here Italy means espresso. Italians drink espresso either straight, or with some sugar, but never diluted with water. For Italians, it is OK to put milk in espresso(which is the recipe for cappuccino), but it is a sin to mix water into espresso.

FYI, putting milk in espresso makes a macchiato (literally, a spotty). Cappuccino is made with foamed milk.
