Italian Coffee Culture Is Great and Starbucks Is Evil

An All Positive Day!

When I talked about my last post with my wife, which admittedly was pretty negative regarding Starbucks, she suggested that I should be more positive. We don't want to be the grumpy, negative business that only criticizes things we don't like. That's certainly not our model and if you spend a few brief seconds in the comments sections of various social media outlets, you will not see a shortage of negativity and of that I'm Positive! (see what I did there?)

Starbucks Is Not Italian Espresso - Part 1

Twenty years ago, I went to Italy for the first time. Some of my lasting memories are the bars and Tavola Calda in Rome where we often enjoyed sandwiches, cornetti, cappuccini and caffè espressi.

Espressamente illy

Lavazza - Part 2

I enjoyed learning and sharing the history of Lavazza in my previous post, but this time I wanted to dig a little deeper into some of the individual coffees that make up a portion of the selection that you can and should enjoy!

Italian coffee culture is an important part of daily life and experiencing the same love of coffee at home can bring your dreams back to Italy.
