Italian Coffee Machines

My grandmother used to make these cookies that were made of anise, they were rock hard, and shaped like very large shrimp. They were definitely an acquired taste. Good for dunking in your coffee or milk. She was originally from the Palermo, Sicily area. I would love to get the recipe. TIA!

I recently had italian cookies with coffee at one of my friends house and loved the combination. Only problem is that i have no idea what type of cookie was with the coffee…

Maybe if i describe it, than i could get a little help. The cookie was very similar to a vanilla cookie and was white/tan in appearance. What was weird was that it didn’t have a distinctive taste, it was just a plain tasting cookie that you could dunk in the coffee.

I know this question seems stupid, but if anyone has any idea what i am talking about, please help!!

also what connection to the dutch have with coffee , i am certain that they played a role in discovering and introducing it to the world.

my understanding is it is grown in asia and the americas the dutch or brits introduced it to the wider world and the french and italians elevated it into an art

Me..
An American stereotype: I’m lazy.. but I’m working on it..lol( YA isn’t helping xD)
A woman: I’m weak..
An Italian: Coffee!!

I don’t relate with most of the stereotypes, but these are undeniable
ah I meant.. a stereotype that applies to you and is actually true xD sorry..

Its okay, just needs a little bit of work
I am good how are you? How come your in such a good mood? Ew I hate coffee!!
Love,

Thanks. (:

this is for my menu, i had a good response for my hot chocolate one..

i’ll give you a few examples of my other one so you can see what im looking for:

Americano:
A shot of espresso that has been drawn out by adding fresh hot water to result in an exceptional long black coffee.

Cappuccino
The classic Italian drink – creamy rich milk foam poured through espresso coffee.

Espresso:
One or two shots of our rich, full-bodied coffee. Intensely aromatic, served as a small measure with a head of golden brown ‘crema’.

Make it nice and esquisite.. thanks!

In some Italian coffee shops in Sydney you can buy soft-centred (chewy) "biscotti" with a crisp outer layer. Not for Dunking they are chewy and delicious. The best ones are pistachio. They are gluten-free and i think they contain almond meal. Does anyone have a recipe for this (they are usually round not sliced.

Opening an Italian cafe and wondering if anyone knows of a wholesale coffee supplier that sales coffee beans, espresso, Monin Syrups, and other frozen drink mixes that offers free delivery?

I will start up a coffee mobile business soon and looking for a good name for it, which can be an italian word. Any ideas? thanks

Do you think that it is a little pretentious, especially in an English-speaking country?

now i don’t often buy a cup of coffee from starbucks, dunkin donuts, or krispykreme.. i generally do my own coffee

Italian dark roast 100% arabica
a spoonful of sweetened creme

and i’m good to go

I love making my own coffee at home, but tried the Colombian one and it’s too oily. The Ethiopian I’m using for the moment isn’t too bad. Have used Illy (Italian) and Carte Noir (French) before. Any suggestions to enjoy a nice cup in the morning ? Tks.
I know it’s a shame, but I don’t actually buy the beans, I get it ground already.

The Italian man – throws the cup away and walks away in a fit of rage

The French man – takes out the fly, and drinks the coffee

The Chinese man – eats the fly and throws away the coffee

The Russian man – drinks the coffee with the fly, since it was extra with no charge

The Israeli man – sells the coffee to the Frenchman, the fly to the Chinese, buys himself a new cup of coffee and uses the extra money to invent a Device that prevents flies from falling into coffee

The Palestinian man – blames the Israeli for the fly falling into his coffee, protests the act of aggression to the UN, takes a loan from the European Union for a new cup of coffee, uses the money to purchase explosives and then blows up the coffee house where the Italian, the Frenchman, the Chinese, and the Russian are trying to explain to the Israeli why he should give away his cup of coffee to the Palestinian

I’m honestly not trying to offend anyone!!! And i genuinly am sorry if it does! Just take a LOL!!

I’m just in from my Sunday morning drive to the store for a paper, a few croissants and a bag of freshly ground Italian coffee…mind if I answered prom questions in the form of links to songs etc. for a bit?

Here’s one to get you started:

I want to try more flavors. Hazelnut and Vanilla are the two I use the most. I’ve tried the Cinnamon Vanilla Creme and I hated it even though it sounds yummy. Has anyone tried the Italian Sweet Creme? Does that one taste good?

I worked today for 11 hrs (in an italian bakery) and I drank way to much coffee that had espresso in it… and now I can’t sleep and i’m bored. Anyone else in the same situation!!

I count my calories for it…it’s only 15 calories a teaspoon…but man, the Italian Sweet Creme powder…….yum…………it’s like my dieter’s version of Ramen Noodles (I’m in college and sadly, will blow up like a balloon if I eat Ramen noodles :(:(:( )

Is this bad for me?

is there somewhere that shows the breakdown of the products used in making different sized late’s, mochas, italian sodas and the like. my friend owns a stand and is having a really tough time. i think her prices may be a little high for the area and would like to show her the actual cost of a drink.

I am opening a Italian coffee shop and need to buy a commerial espresso cappuccino machine! What is a good brand? There are so many of them. Any help, please! THANK YOU!!!

So I have hated coffee all my life. That is, until I went to a friends house and had a latte. She said it was because I’d only ever had instant coffee and the likes and fresh is so much better. Since then, it is my favorite drink-anything with fresh coffee-but I want to start making my own. My friend works at a little italian coffee shop in town and buys her beans from there because she gets a discount and has offered to let me use it too. She’s given me a couple of little bits and bobs that she had(such as a coffee bean grinder and a milk foamer) but now I need to buy an expresso machine. What would you suggest? I haven’t got much money but I decided it would be cheaper than constantly going to that coffee shop(£2-£3 per cup). what would you suggest is the best value. I know you get what you pay for, but I just want to know what would be the best quality machine for the lowest price that you know of. Thankyou

I’ve got a coffee maker, I think maybe an italian expresso maker made of metal which I use to make coffee. Recently I’ve been noticing little bobbles forming in the bottom of the pot (Its got half and half detachable, and a little bit where the coffee powder goes in there. The top part holds the liquid, bottom nothing and/or a bit of coffee powder) I’m wondering if this could be the coffee reacting with the metal? And if so, what metal would it be reacting with, as I’m unsure of the brand name and what metal it’s made from. Thank you.

I just purchased a can of Lavazzo Premium Drip in the red can from a local farmers market. It was described as mild but sweet. I like medium roast coffee, but thought I’d try it. It was awful! I never tasted anything like it. The first sip covered my mouth with an odd, subtly sour taste and it did not taste like coffee. I would like to try the Lavazzo Flitro Classico regular roast coffee, because people were raving about it on Amazon.com. Evidently this is served in high end hotels. There are so many in the Lavazzo line, most are espresso, but I’d like a blend for my morning coffee. Please advise. Thank you!

I am opening up a caffe (Italian coffee shop) and am looking for a good CAPPUCCINO/EXPRESSO machine. A commercial one! Anyone know which brand is good! I want to use my own kind of coffee!
Any help!! THANKS!!!
