Something i really love is brewing coffee because it is something really personal and there are so many different procedures and methodologies to create different flavours. I always make it at home and try different beans and different extraction temperatures. Different heats, freshness of the beans and water can influence totally the taste of your coffee.
We will talk about all these procedures and different brand of beans that i am tasting regularly……..stay tuned!
The French Press is always being questioned about its history and its name. In 1852 “a first attempt” was made by two French men, Mayer and Delforge, though it was just a basic device that went then patented and improved in 1929 by the Italians Attilio Calimani and Giulio Moneta.

It is summer (even in London) and we are facing with hot temperature. And what better way to cool off than with cold coffee instead of hot one?
