The coffee scene in Milan has undoubtedly evolved in recent years, thanks to the influx of specialty coffees, new cafés and brewing techniques from abroad. There is still a long way to go, though.
For me, coffee is a moment of pleasure to be enjoyed calmly. I'm a big fan of espresso and cappuccino, but I also love experimenting with other methods of extraction. At the moment I'm experimenting with the Aeropress.
Whenever I’m at our headquarters, Fusillo Lab, I always find some time to prepare a good coffee on my Linea Mini. I have a collection of specialty coffees from all over the world, which I discovered in small roasters during my travels. Besides being delicious and of great quality, they are also very photogenic!

If I'm away for work, the micro bakery Le Polveri is one of my favorite coffee spots. It’s such an original space where the coffee machines are open to the general public to test drive and prepare a single origin espresso from Peacocks Coffee.
For an evening out drinking Espresso Martini, I would definitely choose Ozzy Osbourne as the ideal drinking buddy, although I have a feeling he would opt for a stronger option, whisky probably! A couple of drinks and who knows how many fun stories he would tell!
