As an Australian, I am predisposed to turning my nose up at coffee in most other countries. (Caffeine is king in Australia, and our cultural obsession with coffee is one of our best known exports.) While there is an argument that the Australian coffee history is not as old the Italian one, the difference is that while Italian taste stays pretty static, the one Down Under develops and improves.

Kids don’t eat enough fruits and vegetables, according to a recent study. A pediatric dietitian explains how to change that. By the mid-1900s, most baristas were able to provide a variety of coffee drinks such as cappuccinos, macchiatos, and caffè latte, by mixing espresso with different amounts of warmed or frothed milk. Economic booms around the same time meant that Italians were spending more time outside of their homes, and bars became a space to grab a pastry for breakfast or a bite to eat later in the day. That “intellectual drink” was indeed well named in Voltaire’s time, and still now, I would argue. Of course that would not have worked, had those who drank _true_ coffee not have been thrilled with the effects of the drink on their physiological function and on their social life.

Caffè Florian, located in Venice’s Piazza San Marco, was founded in 1720. Today, Caffè Florian is the oldest operating coffee house in the world. In the 1700s, great artists such as Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, playwright Carlo Goldoni, and writers Giuseppe Parini and Silvio Pellico were known to stop in at the coffee house for intellectual conversations and, of course, coffee. As the first coffee house to allow women, it was frequented by legendary romantic Giacomo Casanova. It later became a favored stop of young aristocrats on the Grand Tour, such as Lord Byron. In 1901, Milanese inventor Luigi Bezzerra patented a smaller, single-cup version of Moriondo’s machine. It used steam and two bars of pressure to brew espresso in less than 30 seconds. Bezzera made several user-friendly additions to Moriondo’s machine, including the portafilter, the tapered coffee ground tray with a handle attachment. Though Berezza’s machine was marketable, it produced inconsistent brews and had a hand-operated pressure valve that frequently burned baristas. Taking its name from the 40 hands they say it takes to produce coffee from bean to cup, this industrial-style café was one of the earlier speciality-coffee shops to blaze the trail in Singapore.
