Italian coffee is as diverse as the country itself. In the north, finely balanced espresso blends with elegant, nutty, and chocolatey notes often dominate. Further south, the roasts tend to be darker, stronger, and more intense.

The secret of Italian coffee art
Traditionally, Italian coffees are roasted dark - slowly but powerfully. This creates the typical flavours: chocolaty, nutty, smoky. The strong "Italian roast" is popular all over the world.
Dark roasts have less acidity, less caffeine and more bitterness - characteristics that many people find particularly digestible. Incidentally, the famous glass of water is drunk before the espresso to cleanse the palate.
How did coffee come to Italy?
in 1884, Angelo Moriondo from Turin patented the first espresso machine - a milestone that only became important later. in 1901, Luigi Bezzera developed an improved version that laid the foundations for modern espresso preparation: pressurised hot water through finely ground coffee.
Desiderio Pavoni bought the patent and launched the first commercial espresso machine on the market in 1905. The triumphant advance of espresso began at the Milan Trade Fair in 1906 - and Italy became a world coffee power.to this day, strict standards and regional diversity characterise the Italian coffee identity.
