Best coffee beans UK » Espresso-International
Espresso coffee, the art on the table according to Italians. "Primitive man did not know the bar. When he got up in the morning in his cave, he immediately felt a strong desire for coffee. But coffee had not yet been invented and primitive man frowned, assuming the characteristic monkey expression". This is how Stefano Benni, Italian writer and playwright, speaks in his debut book Bar Sport to indicate the great cultural, if not evolutionary, importance for the human race of the discovery of espresso coffee.
Can one of the toughest and firmest glues of all humanity be defined differently? We need only think of espresso, especially in Italy, to bring to mind scenes of harmony, joy and conviviality that would otherwise seem impossible. So let's think about how the people of antiquity managed without such an important gift. "They would take on the characteristic ape-like expression," recalls Stefano Benni, even managing to crack a smile. Espresso coffee is available everywhere, from the big shopping centre to the small village shop with its weathered and faded sign.
In the past, people were forced to leave their homes even in the freezing winter and sweltering summer heat. In some cases it could take up to ten minutes to complete the order and enjoy a good espresso at the table. Today, thanks to the development of online commerce, this is no longer necessary. And that's where we at Espresso International come in: as far as coffee is concerned, we are one of the most important players internationally. But one question might arise.

Italian Espresso - Make espresso coffee in different ways
Bialetti Moka ExpressThe espresso coffee tells a story of culture and tradition 100% made in Italy. There are those who prefer Moka coffee, those who drink it macchiato, those who want it in glass and so on. The shape changes but not the essence: dense, dark or hazelnut, served hot and fragrant. There is little that brings to mind a moment of pause, relaxation and friendship like a cup of good espresso, prepared according to the Italian recipe. The obsession with espresso coffee, for which Italians are renowned the world over, has its roots in Italy in the 1800s. The drink, much appreciated by intellectuals for its exotic taste and strong energy, slowly spread to the homes of all Italians.
It is in fact thanks to the great intellectuals and scientists of the late 19th century that they were able to hand down to future generations machines that were able to prepare coffee more quickly, more efficiently and with greater quality than the manual tools of the past imported from the East. Although the drink had already spread from the Middle East four centuries earlier, thanks to merchants who traded spices from Cairo and Damascus to Constantinople, now Istanbul, it was only with the inventions of contemporary times that the habit of having coffee at any time of the day (and for some, even at night) became widespread.
The recipe for espresso coffee has evolved over time thanks to the genius and intuition of illustrious entrepreneurs who, in Turin, Milan and Naples, perfected the techniques of roasting, grinding and extraction. It is no coincidence that the espresso machine used today in all countries is the result of Italian intuition and gives us every day from 25 to 40 millilitres of intense, sweet flavour, characterised by its soft, persistent crema and its fine grinding that leaves the typical residue at the bottom of the cup, with a unique and unmistakable character.
And let's not forget the famous Moka for espresso, Alfonso Bialetti's invention, the queen of home espresso coffee. A design so perfect that, over 100 years later, it still looks exactly like the original.
An industrial product so valuable that today it is even in the permanent collections of the Triennale Design Museum in Milan and the MoMA in New York. Now an icon of Made in Italy, it was created shortly before the outbreak of the Second World War, in 1933, and over 100 million copies were produced, making it famous in every corner of the world.
For the more curious, here is a brief historical background: Alfonso Bialetti, inventor of the first-born of these machines, carefully studied his wife who was doing the laundry. His washing machine used a very simple method, i.e. he heated water through a boiler which, once it had reached pressure, went up a pipe and dissolved the detergent, going on to wash the clothes. Sound familiar? This is how one of the most incredible culinary inventions of modern times came about. Espresso coffee is now better, more intense and unique. And to think that it all started with a simple snapshot of everyday life, a scene that will have been seen billions of times by all of us.
Coffee break: Everything you need for your espresso
Espresso coffee, as well as having a fine quality of flavour, encompasses so many ethnicities, so many stories of families who have dedicated their entire lives to its production and have relied on fate and faith. Did you know that there is also a patron saint of coffee? He is Saint Drogo, an ancient Frenchman who, crushed by guilt over the death of his mother, dedicated his life to pilgrimage and cultivation. Although there is no evidence that he was linked to espresso coffee, it is pleasant to imagine him intent on cultivating and analysing the famous oriental plant.
Each family history has focused on a different detail and, through its inventions, has been able to highlight a different trait of the famous beverage, giving rise to many qualities.
If you are looking for organic coffee, ESE pods, espresso coffee, Arabica coffee, Robusta coffee, coffee beans, ground espresso coffee, coffee capsules, Nespresso® compatible capsules, filter coffee, decaffeinated coffee, Espresso Point Lavazza or accessories for preparing espresso coffee, you are in the right place. When you order coffee online, you are looking for something special that you can't buy at the supermarket around the corner.
At Espresso International we offer you a wide range of great Italian and German coffee brands. You can choose from TOP brands such as: Danesi , Izzo, Kimbo, Lavazza or Illy. Or you can choose coffee roasted in small, family-run roasting plants, such as Martella coffee or the world-famous Carroux Caffee roasting plant in Hamburg.
The latter is not the only Hamburg brand in our range. Our city offers several niche roasters. You can also find Elbgold Coffee and Speicherstadt on our website. What makes these espresso coffee brands even more interesting is the fact that they are young companies, set up by young people, who put all their energy and ideas into developing interesting new blends and making coffee breaks for all of us a magical moment.
What makes these companies stand out is their focus on innovation. Alongside old, traditional recipes, there are new varieties of flavours and preparations that are suitable for all palates or specially designed to match changing daily needs.
Some espresso coffee varieties are exclusively available on our website. This includes cult brands such as Sant'Eustachio or speciality coffees made from 100% Robusta beans. Caffè decaffeinatoAt work, at the bar, in the restaurant, at home, you can always find that strong taste and fragrant aroma that makes a moment as important as it is symbolic in the everyday lives of all of us. In pods, in capsules, mocha, long, short, sweet, macchiato or bitter: there is no right way to take espresso coffee, the important thing is that it is good.
Everyone has their own way of drinking coffee, their own ancestral ritual to follow, their own beliefs and superstitions to observe before or after enjoying the aromas of an espresso or a macchiato, corrected or even caffeine-free variant. Yes, because espresso coffee beans are an excellent starting point for preparing a cappuccino, a marocchino or espressino, a cold or hot macchiato, a coffee laced with liqueur and much more. There are countless ways to enjoy coffee, to satisfy even the most difficult and pretentious palates.
After all, as Sherlock Holmes says, 'There is nothing like a cup of coffee to stimulate the brain'.
This is not to say that by drinking a cup of coffee we would all have his flair and talent for solving mysteries, but we could still turn our day around in a healthy and decisive way.
