TRIESTESPRESSO EXPO

Triestespresso Expo, now in its eleventh edition, is taking place these days: 24 – 25 and 26 October under the banner of Where the world meets in a cup.

It is the world of coffee and much more.

I got in touch with the president of the Trieste Coffee Association a fortnight ago about the hypothesis of an increase in the price of espresso, and as part of our chat we also talked about the event.

Arianna Mingardi 

explained to me the intention of enhancing blends, promoting research, spreading quality, making an effective and immediate comparison: wine.

Nobody discusses the price of wine because it is clear to everyone the value of the work that goes through all the stages to obtain the product.

Wine has well-marked and distinct diversifications, connoted to the territory and also to tradition.

Will this also be the case for coffee?

Away from Trieste, it seems that this is precisely the trend: in the discussion that originated from the interesting exchange of comments, in particular Valy of MyPersonalBlog pointed out various points such as Aprilia Due or Stazione Termini in Rome that offer special coffees.

Do you have the chance to drink speciality coffees in your local cafès as well?

There will be tastings at Triestespresso Expo.

Planned for today are:
World Latte Art Grading Battle Championship (WLAGS):
at Workshops and Events Area, Hall 27 from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Baristas from all over the world will showcase their creativity and technical skills, competing to create intricate and artistic designs in coffee foam.

Moka Contest:
at Hall 27 from 15:00 to 17:00
Coffee lovers will compete in a contest using the iconic moka pot to brew their best cup of coffee, with participants judged on taste and technique.

Very entertaining, don’t you think?

Yesterday was the Championship Capo in B

You remember, don’t you? I had already told you about the Capo in B. 

The second day of Triestespresso Expo also hosted a special workshop dedicated to Turkey  which has been chosen as the host country for 2024: ‘Opportunities from around the world: the coffee market in Turkey – Current situation and development.’

So a decidedly international imprint to weave new opportunities for an area that is strongly characterised by the whole coffee chain.
