Dine In taste

Coffee culture Italian style

muffins

No matter where in the world I travel, one of the things that I ALWAYS do, is enjoy the local coffees. I’ve enjoyed a cup of rich Turkish coffee with the grounds swirling around my cup and a cardamon pod, I’ve had a Cortado in Spain, many a Cafe au Lait in Paris, and a simple Ristretto in Savona, Italy.

Being able to recreate my “great escape coffees” at home with my Keurig is actually easier than you’d think. I used to believe that to make a great cup of espresso that you had to have a fancy pump driven La Marzocco like I used to use when I worked in that coffee shop. But the truth is, it’s as easy as ONE – TWO – THREE at home with a simple K-Cup and your trusty Keurig.

Go into the menu on your Keurig and switch to the smallest cup setting

Put a Lavazza Perfetto Espresso K-Cup into the holder, close the lid and hit brew as you would your usual coffee. For the BEST flavor, use  bottled water (minerals and chlorine can change the flavor of coffee).

THREE

Italian espresso coffee and sugar cubes

Add a zest of lemon or a sugar cube and some dark chocolate on the side and pretend you’re in sitting in a caffè around the Piazza Navona….because you’ll be drinking the SAME BRAND of espresso that I do when I travel throughout Italy.

I understand (I love ALL brews and beans of coffee). If you’d still love a deep rich Italian flavor in a medium roast, Lavazza also offers their Gran Aroma blend. So, hop off of that Vespa and savour a cup while you dream of walking the Spanish Steps and tossing coins in the Trevi fountain.

    Run the other way if an SEO “specialist” tells you that your content must have a
    15% keyword density or something of the like. This is since you will certainly not like your money
    to get wasted on some false company. Some business owners are squeamish
    when it comes to working with a local search engine optimization (SEO) company.

    updated information when they search on any topic.
    An experienced SEO professional will make online promotion easy for you, but
    he will need your constant guidance and co-operation. If you’re doing a
    lot of flash development on your site – especially the first page – there’s nothing for the search engines to READ.
