<\/span><b>Italian coffee is more than a simple drink, it\u2019s a symbol.<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s a fact that it has a <\/span><b>superior taste<\/b><span

style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The positioning is decided with extreme care, targeted to a <\/span><b>niche market<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> who loves to stand out and get out of the commercial logic that is taking over, making everyone similar and homologated.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Espresso, but which one?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Often when we talk about espresso we tend to generalize, thinking that is the same coffee in every single corner of the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, Italy is very varied, and traditions may change a lot even moving to the nearest town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And, if small things are different just passing through the nearby village, going from Nord to South, there may be profound <\/span><b>differences in shades, consistency, taste features and the quantity of coffee in the cup.<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, when travelling, you must be ready to <\/span><b>taste each variation, without prejudices or preconceptions.<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The important thing is to remember that <\/span><b>coffee encompasses the experience, history, encounters, culture of the people who prepare it and is the result an evolution overtime.<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to the cultural richness represented by the espresso, coffee also lends itself to <\/span><b>extremely different ways of consumption.<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Spending a few moments at the bar counter you can see a myriad of different ways to taste the drink: <\/span><b>cappuccino, marocchino, mocha, short coffee, flat white, cold flat white, coffee with milk, decaf, cold coffee, iced coffee, Salentino coffee, double espresso.<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, there are so many varieties that our bartenders seriously deserve special recognition for their patience and ability to get the order right at the first try!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Therefore, when we talk about <\/span><b>espresso<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, actually, we cannot talk about a single drink. Probably, the only element that the drink that we call espresso has in common is <\/span><b>the speed of the service and the quick consumption<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of it, directly from the bar counter.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The invention in the \u201cBel Paese\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Coffee is part of the Italian tradition since <\/span><b>1683<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, when the first sales point for the marketing of coffee was opened in Venice.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if there are no coffee crops in our country, already in the last years of the 16th century, Venice was carrying on the sale of coffee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For some time, the Church opposed the spread of this drink. Only after the approval of Pope Clement VIII it began to conquer the whole country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From that moment, Italian coffee made history, becoming a ritual to be consumed in all meeting places, from workshops to popular places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the turning point was in the 1900s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some years before, in the 1855, a system to reduce the preparation of coffee was presented in Paris, but most of all, to make customers wait less time at the bar counter: <\/span><b>the espresso<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After the appearance at the international exhibition in Paris, many engineers began to perfect the extraction method, <\/span><b>reducing time and improving the taste of the drink.<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first espresso coffee machine was patented by <\/span><b>Luigi Bezzera<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, with a <\/span><b>steam extraction <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">system.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 1948, <\/span><b>Achille Gaggia<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> created a system that is still used nowadays: <\/span><b>pressure extraction.<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Gaggia pressure coffee machine is the one that gave the texture to the coffee that we still appreciate today, dense, and creamy, with an intense flavour and taste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The umpteenth evolution was in the horizontal <\/span><b>boiler<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of La Pavoni, conceived by Gi\u00f2 Ponti. He made a revolution among coffee machines design, making them characteristic and, particular.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The 1961 was the year of the <\/span><b>thermosiphon circulation system<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> which helped to keep water warm for a long time, without having to wait to prepare every single coffee.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 1933 <\/span><b>Alfonso Bialetti<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> created the <\/span><b>Moka<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, very similar to the one that can be found in Italian homes.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What makes Italian coffee so good<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Learning to make espresso<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a real art.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Actually, you can make the same movement many times, but the thing is that <\/span><b>to extract a tasty coffee you must pay attention to so many details.&nbsp;<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The less experienced think that it\u2019s enough to buy

style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But <\/span><b>the taste, consistency and aromatic hints<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are the result of a long and demanding job that starts from <\/span><b>the choice of the coffee machine<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> up to the <\/span><b>selection of the blend and roasting of the beans.<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s see every single step to understand <\/span><b>what makes Italian coffee better than others.<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Coffee beans roasting process<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the elements that makes Italian coffee special is the <\/span><b>roasting process<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Coffee beans<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, in fact, are originally green, and they have a bitter taste reminiscent of grass.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To provide the powder with that characteristic aroma and taste that we feel when we get in a bar, the beans are subjected to a roasting process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That is, they are <\/span><b>cooked at high temperatures<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> until they dry out and lose their water content.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With the roasting process, furthermore, <\/span><b>their volume changes, and they become lighter<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, assuming the dark colour to which we have been accustomed.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although Italy is not a coffee farmer, the roasting process is done with extreme precision in the whole peninsula.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From North to South there are many coffee roasteries capable of giving coffee beans an exceptional taste, with experience and craftsmanship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is an all-Italian excellence that gives the beans the taste we know, by perfectly setting the machinery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The grinding of the beans<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure

style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another important thing to consider is the <\/span><b>grinding of the beans<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Depending on whether it is used <\/span><b>a professional coffee machine or a traditional Moka<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, it is important that the powder has a different texture.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Generally, <\/span><b>the professional coffee machine requires a thicker texture<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, while <\/span><b>coffee for home use must be finely ground.<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the market, it is possible to <\/span><b>buy both coffee beans and pre-ground powder.<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, it\u2019s always recommended choosing a coffee that reacts better to external stresses and keeps its organoleptic features unchanged for a long period.\r\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To <\/span><b>coffee lovers<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, we suggest getting a <\/span><b>coffee grinder<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in order to grind the beans on the spot and be able to fully appreciate the aroma of the coffee. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The package of coffee, once opened, tends to deteriorate quickly, losing its taste features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The magic touch of the bartender<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As we told you before, gestures are essential to extract an optimally calibrated coffee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to preparing espresso, the bartender must <\/span><b>handle the coffee machine carefully, dosing the right quantity of coffee powder, waiting for the water to be at the right temperature and, interrupting the brewing before the powder residues come out.<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To <\/span><b>learn how to make coffee, <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">you have to do a lot of practice.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s not easy to get everything right at the first try and, most of all, being able to repeat the result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While practicing, you will start understanding how to handle the machine, how long water and powder should be in contact before starting brewing and, you\u2019ll notice if something went wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The less experienced, often, tend to underestimate some steps like the pressure to be applied to the coffee or the choice of water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But who has made coffee a cult, know that nothing should be overlooked, not even the <\/span><b><a
