But it is not only a washed arabica that can earn a place in this segment, as those who have been in the market for some decades understand; younger coffee aficionados don’t know what they’re missing.

The lattes, cappuccinos and other espresso-based drinks are forming a coffee cultural invasion. Italian espresso brands are flooding the markets, with espresso machines, accessories and all the accoutrements of the US-inspired coffee bar culture.“
