Ferrero Dies at Age 89

Best coffee was in Ethiopia. But Congo was pretty good, of course if you wanted a cup it took you a day or so to make it. Go to market search through open air market for coffee beans. Take home pick out various identifiable and unidentifiable things (some still alive). Clean and boil for 10 minutes (had to get all the bugs out). Skim for bugs. Dry then roast over your funny little camp stove (you know the little multi fuel ones). Set to rest. Time to grind! Oh wait no power today to use the grinder, how bad do you really want coffee? Morter and Pestel to the rescue while you also try to get water to boil. One small cup later (cause grinding up too many attracts bugs and also takes too long). Creamer HA! Dream on.

The best coffee I've ever had was in a cafe across from the train station in Paris. The second best was in Rome. US coffee is crap compared to what was over there.
I was lucky to get to have New York Cafe coffee while over there a few times. It was the winner of the best coffee in the world at the time that we were there and it was indeed very good. We were staying in a town very near that cafe so they served the coffee locally in Tuscany.

what was the origin of that coffee? I couldn't tell you the origin of what I had in Paris or Rome, I just know for a straight cup of coffee, damn it was good!

Origin is New York Cafe. They make their own coffee. If you want it, you can import it directly from them I'm sure.

We were staying in Montecatini Terme which is very close to the New York Cafe and nearly every cafe in town used New York Cafe's coffee. And it's Tuscany so coffee is life and they take it crazy seriously.

They may roast their own coffee but I can guarantee that they don't grow their beans
Usually when someone asks you the origin of a coffee, they are referring to the beans and where they were grown. -

Speaking of coffee, We have coffee plants in province. I think i can boil the coffee leaves and drink it instead of coffee seeds. -
Is that any good?
-
Just my silly idea. not sure if it is good .

Would you make apple sauce from apple tree leaves rather than apples? Part of what makes coffee good is being roasted. Would you roast the leaves?
