                    [post_content] => Our lifestyle and personality determine our daily habits – those we really can’t do without. Among them, the preference between tea and coffee outlines the boundary between two almost opposite ways of life!

The image evoked by a steaming, and perhaps aromatic, cup of tea recalls tranquil moments of relaxation. Time stops and the worries of the day are left at the door. On the contrary, a cup of coffee is the quintessential symbol of dynamism and of the stimulus for concentration and productivity. Two opposite worlds that rarely meet, that define different characters and needs, exactly like the drinks that represent them.

Tea Lovers
Those who love this invigorating infusion are generally detail-oriented, both in life and in the ritual preparation of this beverage. Precise steps need to be taken from the teapot to the cup to make a good cup of tea with a great flavour. Tea lovers are meticulous and careful, they don’t mind spending time on their own and vehemently defend their right to privacy. Their greatest desire after a busy day at work? Sink into the sofa with a hot, scented cup of herbal tea in their hands, with no external interference. Even if their private spaces are sacred, tea lovers also like to share happy moments in good company. Nevertheless, they select the people with whom they wish to share their time and favourite beverage very carefully.

Coffee Lovers
Let’s have a coffee break: these words sum up perfectly the typical profile of our second type, the coffee lover. But of course! Coffee breaks are moments of social aggregation to exchange ideas and opinions in conviviality, and the more people participate, the better it is. Also, the association of words is not accidental – break is the word most likely to be matched to the quintessential Italian beverage. Wherever they may be, at the café in the square or in the corridor in front of the coffee machines, drinking a cup of coffee in company is an inviolable moment for break and an energy booster to get back to work recharged. Coffee enthusiasts are dynamic people, who pursue their professional and personal objectives with determination, taking breaks with cups of espresso or hot macchiato. Ambitious but practical, they don’t waste time in idle chit chat – just enough time for a coffee break.

The differences between both types are numerous, however, being fervent advocates of one or the other beverage may not be a permanent lifelong feature. It is not unusual, in fact, to change preferences due to a change in tastes or needs during a specific phase in our lives. The need to feel more responsive to cope with an overpacked schedule can tip the scales in favour of coffee, just as the desire to discover new flavours can prompt us to try the most exotic varieties of tea. What really matters is the quality of the beverage that makes the moment of tasting a true pleasure for our body and soul.

                    [post_content] => Do you love coffee and want to use it to make delicious desserts? Discover our dairy and egg free recipes. These three delicious recipes will delight all your guests.

Coffee desserts are appreciated not only by all true coffee lovers but also by those who don’t usually drink it. If you're looking for scrumptious dairy and egg free recipes, these three desserts have been specially created for you:

           
           

 	
            
            
Velvety mousse
 	
            
            
Coffee cream
 	
            
            
Afternoon tea biscuits

           
           
Velvety Coffee Mousse
Do you want to surprise your guests with a delightful dessert? Coffee mousse is ideal to satisfy your sweet tooth at the end of a meal.
You only need a few ingredients and a few minutes. It should be quite easy to find dairy free whipped cream and condensed milk in well-stocked supermarkets. Prepare 25ml of ristretto coffee and place it in the fridge. While the coffee cools down, whip 250ml of fresh cream, just removed from the fridge. At this point, blend the chilled ristretto coffee with 85ml of condensed milk and pour the mixture into the bowl containing the whipped cream. Stir gently to prevent the whipped cream from deflating.
You can either serve the mousse right away or place it in the fridge. For a perfect result, use pretty single-portion cups and decorate your mousse with a wafer.

Coffee Sauce
Coffee sauce is a valid alternative to the mousse. You will need 100ml of coffee, 200g of sugar, 35g of corn starch and 50g of dairy free butter. Mix the powders and add the coffee. Blend in the butter and let the mixture melt on the stove, keeping the flame low. Let it simmer for a minute, then cover the container with cling film and place it in the fridge to cool down. The sauce will be cold after about an hour. At this point, whip with an electric whisk for a few minutes, then serve. Have fun decorating the sauce with a wafer, a biscuit or hazelnut grains.

Coffee Biscuits
If you prefer traditional biscuits to desserts that come on a spoon, this is the recipe for you. To make coffee biscuits, first whip 240g of soft dairy-free butter until light and fluffy and then add 180g of sugar. Blend in three tsp of instant coffee and 340g of flour. Work the dough and allow it to rest in the fridge. After about three hours, remove the dough from the fridge, stamp biscuits out of the chilled dough and arrange them on a baking tray. Put them back in the fridge for about a quarter of an hour, then bake at 170°C or 325°F for 20 minutes. To make your biscuits even more appetising you could give them the shape of a coffee bean.

                    [post_content] => Many are the ways to prepare coffee around the world. The charm of the Neapolitan moka pot, however, is unmatched. If you are curious but don’t know how to use it, here you can discover the secrets of this ancient coffee ritual!

A story that began centuries ago
In 1819, Parisian Morize designed the first flip coffee pot in terracotta. His invention was later perfected in Italy, giving life to the Neapolitan flip coffee pot also called cuccumella, from cuccuma, meaning terracotta container in Neapolitan.
This coffee pot was soon manufactured in tin and went on to be the only device used to make coffee until 1933 when Bialetti invented the contemporary moka express. Despite having been largely replaced by the latter, the Neapolitan coffee pot is still the symbol of tradition and of the slow, ancient ritual of preparing coffee.

The moka pot: how it is made
To fully understand how it works, let’s have a look at the 5 parts composing the cuccumella:

           
           

 	
            
            
Coffee chamber: it’s hollow and smooth
 	
            
            
Water chamber: it’s perforated and has a handle
 	
            
            
Filter cap: it closes the first chamber
 	
            
            
Serving pot: it has a spout and a handle
 	
            
            
Lid

           
           
How to make a good cup of coffee
To make your favourite beverage, put the ground coffee in the coffee chamber without pressing it too much, especially if it’s finely ground. Close the chamber with the filter cap. Now fill the water chamber up to the indicated level. Place the coffee chamber inside the water chamber, making sure to align the stem-vent hole on the side with the small indentation on the coffee chamber. The stem-vent hole enables the air trapped between the walls to be released, producing a hiss that lets you know it’s time to turn the stove off.

However, before turning on the stove, put the serving pot on top of the two chambers. Now you will have obtained a single coffee pot that you can place on the stove. As soon as the water starts boiling, turn off the stove and, after a minute, flip the cuccumella, making sure that the two parts of the Neapolitan pot remain together and the boiling water doesn’t pour out.

You have almost finished. Now you just have to wait until all the water in the upper chamber filters through the ground coffee, slowly extracting all the aromas in a process called percolation. After approx. 10-12 minutes, your coffee will be ready in the serving pot and you can keep it warm by closing the lid. However, it is best served hot.

Coffee made with the cuccumella is intense and aromatic, but one of its best qualities is perhaps the way it lets you rediscover the pleasure of old rituals and coffee as a convivial custom, and not only as a break from the thousands of things to do or a break from your busy schedule.

                    [post_content] => Coffee is an undeniable everyday pleasure and the type we prefer tells a lot about our personality and our habits. Short, ristretto or lungo... what kind of coffee are you?

True connoisseurs do not just order a coffee. They always specify the type. Some people can’t start their day without a traditional espresso, also called short coffee. Then there are those who love the intense, concentrated taste of ristretto and others who prefer to peacefully sip a great caffè lungo. Each choice reveals specific personality traits. Let’s find out what our preferences regarding the Italians’ most beloved cup tell about us.

‘An espresso, please.’

If this is what you usually ask for at the café, you're a pragmatic person with a clear vision. You set precise goals in your life and pursue them with determination. You know what you want and don't let yourself be swayed by the latest fad. Ambition in itself, however, is not what you aim for and you can distinguish perfectly between what is within your reach and superfluous things you can easily do without, preventing yourself from being overwhelmed by stress! You love the simple pleasures of life and tend to see the positive side of every situation, savouring each moment to the fullest, just like your cup of coffee.

Ristretto coffee: a concentrate of pleasure

Few words, but lots of action – this pretty much sums up lovers of ristretto coffee. Just like the vigorous, persistent aroma of the coffee you’re drinking, you’re an honest person, sometimes a bit impulsive in your decisions. You like strong flavours and make the most of every opportunity in life, jumping head first into each adventure. Your personal and professional life is packed with engagements, your to-do list fills up your agenda and you consider idleness as your worst enemy. You are demanding of others, but especially of yourself. You have the makings of a leader and face with determination unexpected events along your path. For you, daily challenges are a source of motivation rather than obstacles. A cup of coffee is all you need to be ready to start again!

Caffè lungo – for moments to be enjoyed in good company

Long, extremely long: every sip of coffee is a delicious moment to be shared with others. You’re sociable and cheerful, but also thoughtful and cautious when needed. This is why people consider you a reliable friend, a good listener in times of need and you bend over backwards for those in difficulty. So much so that you sometimes forget to take care of yourself. Your generosity is proverbial and your door is always open to unexpected guests who would like a good cup of coffee. You hate formalities and excessive responsibilities, which you tend to put off till later, with the risk that one engagement piles up after another. Nevertheless, you always manage to keep your self-control: you are perfectly aware of the fact that your captivating charisma will help you overcome every difficulty with style and a dash of humour!

If you love coffee and want to start the day with a 5-star breakfast, you will find many recipes to inspire the chef in you. Here are the tastiest ideas that you can try right away.

Coffee Pancakes

Classic pancakes can be even more delicious if you add a sprinkle of ground coffee. Mix 120g of flour, 2 eggs, 150ml of milk, 2 tsp of ground coffee, 4g of baking powder and 50g of sugar. Pour a ladle full of batter into a hot, buttered pan and cook until golden brown on both sides. You should be able to make 15 pancakes that you can sweeten, as tradition has it, with maple syrup and serve with a good cup of caffè lungo.

Coffee Cake

If you are lactose intolerant or want to prepare a tasty, light breakfast, this is the right dessert for you – the Coffee Water Cake. Prepare 330ml of coffee and let it cool down. Add 300g of flour, 200g of sugar, a sachet of baking powder and 90g of sunflower oil. Mix all the ingredients. Pour into a greased and floured sandwich cake tin and bake at 180°C or 356°F for about 50 minutes. You can cover it with coffee icing prepared with 120g of powdered sugar and 40g of espresso.

Coffee Milkshake

Are you looking for a quick and easy breakfast idea? This is a great Coffee Milkshake: blend 2 cups of cold espresso, 10 ice cubes, 250ml of milk, 3 tbsp of sugar and 2 tsp of cocoa powder. Pour into glasses and if you like, garnish with fresh whipped cream and a sprinkle of cocoa powder. You can end your breakfast by adding some fresh fruit. 

Coffee Ricotta Cream

Here’s an idea that will appeal to the whole family, a healthy, light dessert. Stir 100g of fresh ricotta cheese with 2 tsp of cold coffee, 1/2 a tsp of sugar and 1 tsp of unsweetened cocoa powder. Mix well until you obtain a smooth cream. Serve it in a cup with chocolate chips or spread it on bread, or on dry biscuits for real gourmands.

Coffee Biscuits
If you love traditional tastes, you can make these delicious coffee biscuits. Mix 300g of Italian 00 flour, 150g of butter, 10g of ground coffee, 100g of powdered sugar, 2 tbsp of chocolate chips, 1 egg yolk, 1 whole egg and a pinch of salt. Roll out the dough half a centimetre high and make biscuits using a mould. Bake at 180°C or 356°F for 12 minutes. Bon appetit!

                    [post_content] => Coffee is a simple word but it encapsulates a wide range of variants. There are different blends, preparations, serving styles, temperatures... and consumers! So, what type of coffee consumer are you?

Italy is the country of a thousand bell towers and a thousand cuisines. This is no mystery to anyone – each region, each town has its own food & beverage traditions and coffee is no exception to this rule. But does the way we like to drink our coffee reveal something about us and our personality? Let's see together.

The ritual of coffee in Italy from North to South

Many are the differences in Italy between North and South and these are also reflected in the ritual of coffee. If you are a consumer from the South, you are used to dark roasted coffee containing a high percentage of Robusta with a full aroma and body and a bitter aftertaste. While, if you live in the North you are likely to prefer more delicate, sweet blends, mildly roasted and containing a high percentage of Arabica. But regardless of the blend and roast, what does coffee mean to you?

Why do you drink coffee?

Your idea of coffee largely depends on your motives for drinking it. Those who usually drink coffee in the morning, after lunch or during breaks between one engagement and another, absorbing its invigorating boost of energy will tend to associate coffee with work, the fast pace of life and daily stress. Conversely, those who give more importance to sharing and socialisation will be more likely to associate coffee to positive feelings and memories, to family, friends and even moments of relaxation – just think that some people like to drink a cup of coffee before going to bed to help them relax. There are also people who associate coffee with a sense of guilt because they think they drink too much of it and those who approach their favourite beverage with lush and can’t wait to try new blends and new combinations.

The Picky Consumer

Then there is the super picky coffee enthusiast who can test the patience of any barista – and this is a quintessentially Italian feature. Macchiato Caldo, Macchiato Freddo, Marocchino, Cappuccino Light or Dark, served in a large cup, a glass, foamed, with skim milk, soy milk, Long, Doppio, Ristretto, Iced, Shaken, Laced, Caffè Latte... to sum it up, with all these possible variations, those who ask for a simple coffee have become a minority. 

The Social Consumer

In this short overview we must include a new type of consumer, born in recent years with the development and widespread use of social networks. Social consumers love to prepare a good cup of coffee even for the simple pleasure of posting its lovely photo, because no matter how good it is, coffee remains an extremely evocative treat for your body and soul.

Coffee Biscuits

Ingredients for 4 servings:

           
           

 	
            
            
250g flour 00
 	
            
            
100g butter
 	
            
            
100g sugar
 	
            
            
3 tbsp of coffee

Put the ingredients in a bowl and mix until you obtain an elastic dough. Set the oven at 180°C and while it reaches temperature make small balls, taking a bit of dough at a time. Flatten the dough balls and place them on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Bake at 180°C for 15 minutes, let them cool down and enjoy.

100g sugar

           
           
With an electric mixer whisk the eggs and sugar, then add the whipped cream. Pour in the coffee and whisk for a few minutes. Pour the cream into 4 small glasses and put them in the fridge for about 6 hours. Before serving, decorate with whipped cream, chocolate chips or coffee beans.

Coffee Granita

Coffee beans

           
           
Pour the water, sugar and vanilla seeds into a saucepan and bring to the boil on low heat. Turn the stove off and add the coffee, then put the mixture in a freezer container, better if low to obtain the best results. Once the mixture has cooled down, cover the container with plastic wrap and put it in the freezer. After about twenty minutes, break the ice with a fork and close the freezer door, repeating this process every 10 minutes for another two or three times. The granita is ready to be topped to your liking with whipped cream and coffee beans.

Coffee Cake

            [post_content] => Our lifestyle and personality determine our daily habits – those we really can’t do without. Among them, the preference between tea and coffee outlines the boundary between two almost opposite ways of life!

The image evoked by a steaming, and perhaps aromatic, cup of tea recalls tranquil moments of relaxation. Time stops and the worries of the day are left at the door. On the contrary, a cup of coffee is the quintessential symbol of dynamism and of the stimulus for concentration and productivity. Two opposite worlds that rarely meet, that define different characters and needs, exactly like the drinks that represent them.

Tea Lovers
Those who love this invigorating infusion are generally detail-oriented, both in life and in the ritual preparation of this beverage. Precise steps need to be taken from the teapot to the cup to make a good cup of tea with a great flavour. Tea lovers are meticulous and careful, they don’t mind spending time on their own and vehemently defend their right to privacy. Their greatest desire after a busy day at work? Sink into the sofa with a hot, scented cup of herbal tea in their hands, with no external interference. Even if their private spaces are sacred, tea lovers also like to share happy moments in good company. Nevertheless, they select the people with whom they wish to share their time and favourite beverage very carefully.

Coffee Lovers
Let’s have a coffee break: these words sum up perfectly the typical profile of our second type, the coffee lover. But of course! Coffee breaks are moments of social aggregation to exchange ideas and opinions in conviviality, and the more people participate, the better it is. Also, the association of words is not accidental – break is the word most likely to be matched to the quintessential Italian beverage. Wherever they may be, at the café in the square or in the corridor in front of the coffee machines, drinking a cup of coffee in company is an inviolable moment for break and an energy booster to get back to work recharged. Coffee enthusiasts are dynamic people, who pursue their professional and personal objectives with determination, taking breaks with cups of espresso or hot macchiato. Ambitious but practical, they don’t waste time in idle chit chat – just enough time for a coffee break.

The differences between both types are numerous, however, being fervent advocates of one or the other beverage may not be a permanent lifelong feature. It is not unusual, in fact, to change preferences due to a change in tastes or needs during a specific phase in our lives. The need to feel more responsive to cope with an overpacked schedule can tip the scales in favour of coffee, just as the desire to discover new flavours can prompt us to try the most exotic varieties of tea. What really matters is the quality of the beverage that makes the moment of tasting a true pleasure for our body and soul.
