The thousand virtues of coffee.

Italians love their coffee and they even wrote an Ode to it.  If you understand Italian here is the link praising coffee and how to make the perfect cup .... scientifically!  

How do I love thee Coffee? Let me count the names....

In our town in Sicily we have as many cafès as there are coffee brands in all of Italy. Most cafès are specialized in one brand or another. One may offer Julius Meinl, another Lavazza, another one Illy, yet another one MokaEfti, and one other one ZiCaffè, you really  have your choice. Every morning it's a big decision for townspeople....which cafè and coffee to choose?

A mid-afternoon espresso to pick you up

Working the whole morning is a drag, and after lunch it gets worse. All you want to do is have a nap.

Coffee is known to increase energy and stimulate the brain. So have a coffee fiesta instead of a siesta.
