In the last decades a lot has changed in the coffee world. Before 1986 coffee culture was rather dull.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p> In cafe’s or restaurants you were able to order a decent cup of coffee. Espresso or cappuccino from a nice Italian coffee machine was the only way to have a nice cup of coffee.<\/span><\/span><\/p> At home the majority drank their “filter coffee”. The only happy moment during preparing the “filter coffee” was the moment when hot\u00a0 water drops felt on the ground coffee. The smell was delicious but the taste of the “filter coffee” was horrible.<\/span><\/span><\/p> Of course the ‘happy few’ had their espresso machine at home but it was always a messy business.<\/span><\/span><\/p> 1986 was the turning point in the coffee culture.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p> Building on the earlier work of Luiggi Bezzera, who first invented the espresso machine in the early 1900s, a new system was developed that would allow anybody to craft, and enjoy, a perfect Italian espresso: the world\u2019s first portioned coffee system.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p> The Nespresso changed the coffee culture completely. An aluminium cup stuffed with top quality coffee. Just put it in a special developed machine, push the button and voila…….. there it is your <\/span>superb cup of coffee.<\/span><\/span><\/p> Internet made it so easy to order the cups in different flavours. It all was a\u00a0revolutionary development which changed the coffee culture completely\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p> For years their formula was protected but since several years the coffee cup market is completely open and you will find affordable cups in every corner of the world. However the taste of the original Nespresso cups are still from an exceptional level.<\/span><\/span><\/p> The trend now a days is that more sophisticated espresso machines are more price friendly\u00a0 and for that reason affordable for more and more people. <\/span><\/span><\/p> The word B<\/span>arista\u00a0comes from Italian, where it\u00a0<\/span>means\u00a0a male or female “bartender” who typically works behind a counter, serving hot drinks.<\/span>Did you know t<\/span>here are even Barista courses you can take to become a master in serving Espresso and other hot drinks.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p> Another reason for writing this blog is that all over the world we are not speaking the same coffee language. To give you an idea; once I ordered a doppio in Belgium, the waitress did not understand the word doppio, so I said a double espresso. The result was that I received two single espresso….An other mistake is that they serve a cappuccino with whipped cream instead of steamed milk.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p> I hope that my blog will bring more clearness and maybe the same enthusiasm for coffee as I have.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\tThe Rich history of Coffee<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
