Slow Coffee Trend
With this traditional method of brewing coffee, it's back to basics. Water drips drop by drop on the ground coffee and allows the freshly ground beans to release all their aromas. Coffee flavors and subtlety are thus carefully preserved, and you drink your coffee as you enjoy a good glass of wine! This new slow coffee trend is more ecological, economical and gastronomic.
This ritual approach to preparing coffee has seen the emergence of a new profession, the barista. This coffee sommelier is none other than an expert in coffee extraction. Coffee festivals are spreading all over the world, with barista competitions, cuppings (tasting of different specialty coffee origins), with one priority: discover specialty coffee as opposed to industrial coffee.
