Slightly different from the last topic - the nice thing (and sometimes scary) about the net; how easy it is to jump from one thing to something completely different.
Trieste is hosting the second Espresso Expo this fall. The town was recently described by a norwegian author as "a port for a world that no longer exsist" - but clearly it is still partyall integrated into the current global latte-mania, with education and labs testing and classifying coffe.
"Perfect espresso is the ultimate coffee. It ranks with fine wine for the complexity of its chemistry" (Economist!)
Oh yes. Coffe time - again.
...and the sun is soon the right angle for leisurly reading on the balcony...
