Have you ever wondered how the first coffee tasted back then when i was first discovered?
In the 16th century, explorers, mechants, botanists took to the west the knowledge of the existence of this drink that, at that time, it was considered almost as a very powerful and expensive medicine. It’s fame spread from Africa, then the middle East and then to Europe.
It was called the black gold, something never tasted before! And people wanted it! A lot!
With this video i don’t want to talk about that, the history of coffee, that will be for another video of this series. I want to talk about the history of espresso: the evolution of this brewing method, its taste, and why it happened in Italy.
