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.

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.
