Amongst the various beverages and types of coffees found in the ad hoc menu for Seattle, you can find the Single Shot Espresso, done in the classic Italian style, to let people know how espressos are served at a bar in Italy.

The blend used is the “Mamma Mia”, dedicated to the founder Francesco’s mother and to women in general, a blend characterized by a full body espresso, with low acidity and dark chocolate and mature cherry notes.

All the coffees present in this particular blend are produced and processed by some amazing women coffee growers whom the same Francesco met and worked with during his numerous travels towards the origins of coffee. Amongst the historical beverages, you can find the Bicerin, made with an espresso base, topped with chocolate and milk foam, invented in Turin in 1763 by Giuseppe Dentis.

Another of our particular beverages will be the CoffeeMisu, a delightful play on the famous Tiramisu cake, made with a base of mascarpone cheese and cream, topped with an espresso and completed with a sprinkle of cocoa powder.
