The Italian tradition of espresso consumed at the counter has made history and marked a very precise lifestyle enclosed in the very meaning of the word: fast and one shot.
Italy is considered the leading country in the preparation of this drink. However, a new expanded coffee culture is emerging, in which espresso is accompanied not only by new techniques for preparing coffee itself, but also by valid alternatives to its consumption.
The times when I had to order Matcha Latte online, are long gone! Most of the bars in Milan offer a series of coffee alternatives, to meet the need of those who have embraced the vegan lifestyle, and even those who are simply curious to try something different and new every day.
I like to enjoy breakfast on the slow. My days are always dynamic and busy. Once I leave home, I know I will not stop for a moment. I like taking some time for myself before going out, sip a good tea and experiment with new recipes for my blog.
Happiness lies in the finer detail, even at the table. This is why my favourite place in Milan is Hygge; a wonderful bar run by two brothers who have fully embraced this philosophy, of Danish origin. Their cakes are delicious and the orange juice is always fresh.
Coffee and yoga both have an energizing power. Caffeine exerts a stimulating and exciting effect on body and mind, similar to that of an intense practice of Kundalini yoga.
If coffee was a yoga position,it would surely be the archer: stable and rooted to the ground, ready to shoot his arrow at any moment.
