Coffee, what else?

Artigiani del Gelato are returning to Gallery 40 to take us on a journey in the coffee world. We will learn about the coffee birthplace,  the coffee routes, the types of coffee and caffeine and how will  drink it.

The main techniques: infusion and percolation;

Oriental coffee: the oldest infusion method;

The French press: the most popular method in Northern Europe;

The Neapolitan coffee maker: a ritual of slowness;

Filter coffee: the most popular coffee drink in the United States;

The moka pot: the Italian tradition of home coffee;

Espresso: the elixir of coffee.

We will show you how to make a few of these techniques and offer one of the oldest way of tasting espresso.... with a spoon of fior di latte gelato.

You will also be able to purchase gelato at the end of the talk.

Limited seating. RSVP
