S2 Episode 15: Italian Coffee ft. Hannah Mansfield

What this episode covers

Over the last two weeks my wife, Hannah, and I were celebrating our anniversary in Italy. We got the opportunity to try coffee from the Cinque Terre, Florence, Venice, Rome, and Milan, and we learned a lot about Italian coffee culture as we went. At the end of our trip Hannah and I sat down and recorded this episode, discussing Italian coffee, the culture that its integral to, and how it’s different from U.S. brews. For a humorous take on the “10 Commandments” of ordering coffee in Italy, check out this post from The Telegraph . The two specialty coffee shops that are briefly referred to in the episode are Taglio in Milan, and Ditta Artigianale in Florence. Taglio won 3rd place in the 2014 Italian Aeropress Championship, and Ditta Artigianale took 6th place in the 2015 World Barista Championship (Seattle) and 5th place in the 2016 World Barista Championship (Dublin). Music on this week’s episode is from The Free Music Archive , and the picture in the cover art was taken by me in La Spezia, Italy.
