    Ah ah! I totally agree with you, Alberto, the coffee trucks inside the fair, during all the fairs in Italy is the same, sell s..t only.
    Write me in PM before your next tour, I'll buy a coffee at the best shop in Turin.

    Actually, we make the best espresso, bar none. I will def. take you up on the kind offer !!! :)

    And the coffee was equally bad in ALL the bars all over Italy, not only at the fair, Abominable :eek:

    I have lived here for 10 years. You need to go downtown to Impero, just off of Piazza della Mercanzia.

    Go visit Alessio at "L' Albero di Caffe" . He's nearby Bologna, at 3A Via dei Carpini, Anzola dell'Emilia.

    Tell him I recommended for you to reach him. He will (if) see you for only a few minutes. That's it.

    Google him, and tell him if you can visit. He is a roaster and has samples of our coffee. Do it soon, as he probably has gone through it by now, or maybe not...

    We are trying to open into the Italian coffee market. If we do, it will be spectacular.

    Regards,
    Alberto

    Good luck finding a decent espresso in France. I therefore suggest you also try the French market.

    Thank you. We prefer Italy, as tons of connections there. France will follow.....

    I agree on the French quality :eek:

    Regretfully, Illy is only reputation. Bottom line, people 'that know' how to cup, preferred ours.

    Do you use salt or pepper in your Romanee-Conti? If coffee is great,why use sugar / milk / etc. ?

    Ketchup on your aged Sirloin? nahhh.....yet a free world, in most places.

    IMO illy is better than 90% of what you'll find around. Provided it's prepared properly. Those of us that chase that extra 10% are few and far between. Illy will do. I might be biased though, I have met Dr. Ernesto and Andrea Illy, and I definitely know what good they (the company) do for several coffee growers here in Brazil.

    Mario, all Pirates, just like Lavazza, etc.

    They (Illy) visited me about 30 years ago, they may have changed generation, but still ALL pirates in Italy. Nothing personal, of course.

    Ask me if I would ever sell them 1 bag of coffee....:eek: .....

    Besides coffee, I found a Dino wooden wheel with this lovely MOMO sign (if that)....

    " May I take a photo? Oh, yes please, go right ahead...." :rolleyes:

    I dare say, Caveat Emptor ?
