• For the love of coffee!

  We all know Italians love their coffee but I was surprised to find out that we (Brits) actually drink far more coffee than our Italian Friends. In fact, generally speaking, they only drink 2, maybe 3 at most a day. The preferred coffee of choice in Puglia, is of course, the espresso. So it’s no […]
