8 Reasons to Keep Your Coffee Addiction in Check

Coffee Break, Family Health, Featured, Food & Drink, Uncategorized

I am Italian and I love coffee! I love its aroma in the morning especially if it comes from a Moka, a traditional  Italian cafetière as it brings back so many sweet memories. Italians like their coffee strong, in a warm espresso cup and more than often drink it while standing. I find coffee extremely addictive so I keep it as a treat for the weekend. With an espresso in me I can go at 100 miles per hour and feel nicely wired, but when I take more or drink it daily for a few weeks I know I will have to pay for it … Continue reading →
