DoppioWhen Italians wish to obtain a drink two times stronger, they order a doppio - double portion of coffee. The term is usually applied to espresso, but a good barista can make a doppio ristretto, a doppio lungo and a doppio cappuccino if you do not forget to smile.

CezveOnce, a Turkish sultan promised a price if someone were to invent a coffee making method that would not allow for a single drop of coffee to be spilt on the fire. One of the handymen brought a copper pot with a thick bottom and another handyman – a vessel with a narrow top and a wide bottom. The sultan ordered to join the two inventions. This is how a cezve came into being: a copper vessel with thick walls, long handle and a narrow head. It is also called a turka or a dalla. The whole Jardin collection ideally suits for preparation in a turka. Choose a fine grind in order to get a bright drink where coffee transfers its taste and aroma to the water.

DemitasseIf you want to enjoy espresso completely, use a special cup – demitasse. It is made of porcelain with thick walls and holds the drink temperature longer. Espresso made of Jardin coffee in a cup like that looks especially exquisite.

Decaf coffeeIn 1903 a german Ludwig Rosemus transported sacks of coffee beans by sea. The ship was hit by a storm; the coffee was soaked in salty sea waters and lost its invigorating qualities. However, even without caffeine the beans turned out suitable for usage. Rosemus patented his method, which soon received the name of decaffeination.

Coffee tastingThis is an everyday ritual of a coffee lover. Everything becomes an object of tasting: the size and aroma of the beans, taste and smell of a coffee drink, its bitterness, height of a cappuccino foam and even the size of coffee grounds!
