What is so special about Italian coffee?

It starts with the selection of the beans - only the best, carefully harvested beans reach the roasting plants in Italy, where they are slowly roasted to develop a rich, full flavor. The result? A coffee that not only wakes you up, but invigorates your senses.

Italians take the preparation of their coffee seriously. Whether it's a strong espresso, creamy cappuccino or smooth caffè latte - there is real craftsmanship behind every sip.

In Italy, drinking coffee is a social event, a moment to pause for a moment. Whether during a hectic lunch break or a relaxed afternoon in the bar around the corner. The joy of sharing a precious moment of pleasure - that is the essence of Italian coffee culture.

La Semeuse Don Marco

This coffee blend is composed of coffee beans from the highlands of Mexico, Colombia, Brazil and the Ivory Coast. This real espresso is strong and powerful and was roasted according to an old Italian recipe. Unlike the Mocca blend from the same company, La Semeuse Don Marco is not a pure Arabica blend.  The coffee is made up of 80% Arabica beans  from the highlands of Mexico and Colombia and from Brazil and about 20% robusta beans from the Ivory Coast. The addition of robusta beans ensures that a much stronger crema forms in the cup.  The sugar only sinks slowly through the crema, as is desirable in a purebred espresso. The aromas are intense and seductive. You will detect noble woody and delicious gingerbread aromas. The Don Marco also has a lot to offer in terms of taste. After a lively and spicy start, you will detect chocolate and clear roasted notes and finally experience a long-lasting aftertaste.Even though Italians claim, not entirely without reason, to have invented espresso, that doesn't mean that we in Switzerland can't roast a good espresso. No one else roasts at an altitude of about 1000 metres above sea level. The lower air pressure ensures that the coffee beans behave differently during roasting than in normal roasting plants.

The secret of Italian coffee art

Traditionally, Italian coffee is roasted from very dark beans. The art of roasting is the result of years of practice. The characteristic aroma of Italian coffee comes from the very slow but strong roasting. This strong "Italian roast" is popular with coffee lovers around the world.

Strong roasts produce a coffee with a higher bitterness, lower acidity and less caffeine. Characteristics that make Italian coffee particularly digestible. In Italy, it is rumored that the water and the air influence the delicious taste.

How did coffee originally come to Italy?

However, the real turning point in the history of Italian coffee was the invention of the espresso machine. In 1884, Angelo Moriondo from Turin patented the first espresso machine, but it was not commercially successful. Later, in 1901, Luigi Bezzera from Milan developed an improved version that revolutionized the preparation of coffee by forcing water under high pressure through finely ground coffee. This reduced the brewing time and extracted the aromas and oils more effectively.

Today, Italy is known for its strict standards in coffee preparation and for its numerous regional variations - from espresso to cappuccino.

A declaration of love from north to south

From the Alps to the sun-drenched coasts of the south, the taste, preparation and coffee culture differ significantly. Generally speaking, the further south, the stronger the coffee.

Northern Italy: Fine and refined

In northern Italy, especially in cities such as Milan and Turin, people prefer a coffee that is as elegant and stylish as the region itself. Espresso here is often milder and made with a finer roast that has less bitterness. These coffees often have a more subtle, aromatic note, ideal for a gentle start to the day. In the cosmopolitan cities of northern Italy, you will often find cafés offering a variety of internationally inspired specialty coffees.

Central Italy: Harmonious and classic

Rich and deep aromas at every turn!

The coffee culture in central Italy, especially in Tuscany and Rome, represents the heart of Italian tradition. Here, the espresso is stronger than in the north, but still balanced, with a perfect harmony between acidity and sweetness.

The roast is more intense, which gives the coffee a rich and full-bodied texture.

Southern Italy: strong and full of character

In the south of Italy, from Naples to Sicily, people drink the strongest and most intense coffee.

The southern Italian love of intense aromas is reflected in a very dark roast, which gives the espresso an almost bittersweet, strong note.

Southern Italian coffee is a reflection of the passionate and vibrant soul of the people in this region.
