The 5 Finest Coffees in the World

Coffee is the most renowned drink of the world, and amongst the most consumed ones.

Since its importation in Europe, during the 16th century (after a centuries-old journey, from its native Ethiopia through North Africa, Middle East and Turkey), it has become part of the gastronomic culture of many areas, gradually spreading its reputation all over the world.

In a remarkable number of countries (Italy, Mexico, Brazil, Turkey, Egypt) it is still today a symbol and a tradition at the same time. Several cities (Naples and Istanbul above all) have built rituals and habits around it. Last but not the least, the entire world of the arts has paid its tribute to coffee, from painting to literature, from theatre to poetry.

Currently, the world of coffee is a constellation of varieties, even though the market is dominated – in an almost hegemonic way – basically by three species: Coffea Arabica, Coffea Canephora and Coffea Liberica. Fortunately, for both the connoisseurs and the simple enthusiasts, a few international organizations (such as, for example, eraofwe.com) are committed to preserve and spread an alternative “coffee culture”, promoting at the same time values like diversity and environmental sustainability. Thanks to them, we are able to taste the difference of many local varieties, including the finest ones.

Regarding this last point, we have detected and listed the five most precious varieties of coffee currently available on the market. You can find them below.

My Coffee with Melitta 2021


Keep Calm and Brew Coffee.

With everything that has happened this past year coupled with the mix of hope and uncertainty represented by the months to come, it’s reassuring to know we still can find comfort in little things that make a big difference.

Whether Zooming for work or for fun; getting up early and going extra late in search of WFH inspiration; or simply seeking a change of pace and chance to reflect – a warm fresh cup of coffee has been at hand to soothe, motivate and help us carry on with what is important. 

For me coffee always has been one of my favourite reasons to wake up in the morning. It remains the best (and best tasting) boost for mid morning and early afternoon doldrums. Equally, carving out some quiet downtime during the day to drink a cup of coffee and collect my thoughts is one of the nicest ways I know to treat myself.

Keeping calories under control is often what people struggle with the most when it comes to losing weight. And, often, it’s snacks that end up ruining everything.

These can often become uncomfortable, and if not managed correctly, they can impact the quality of life your dog enjoys.
