Italy Followed Us Home
"While spending the month of May in Italy for the third year in a row, we did some serious coffee research. We sampled cappuccino and espresso macchiato at highly reviewed coffee bars in Tuscany, Umbria and Cinque Terre. We also attended the Giro d’Italia bike race and watched every stage. In Viareggio on the Tuscan Coast we finally put it all together. The best coffee we had this year was consistently Segafredo Extra Mild. We also thought the new Segafredo cup and saucer design was the coolest we had ever seen in Italy, using a plain white background to highlight a stylish red S pattern. We managed to ask the staff at our two fav coffee bars in Viareggio if we could buy a kilo of whole bean espresso and two sets of cups and saucers. We bought the coffee and they gifted us the cups. Now all we had to do was brew up some cappuccinos and espresso macchiatos for the fam when we returned from Tuscany. Everyone loved the sweet mild flavor of the coffee and the stylish cups. We began to run low on beans, so I ordered two more kilos of the Segafredo Mild whole bean coffee. I couldn’t believe it arrived in only 5 days to Portland, OR. It was just as sweet and full of flavor as the bag from Viareggio! Now we can enjoy our Italian cappuccinos and espresso macchiatos brewed on our Italian espresso machine in the luxury of our family room all year long. In addition, we get to watch our fav Trek-Segafredo cycling team at the same time! What could be better?"
