奶油咪咪的喵言貓語

I have finally found of excellent standard, and authentically Italian coffee in Vancouver, Cafe Artigiano.

Ever since Kid and I came back from our tour to Italy in 2002, I fell in love with European style of coffee. This love further evolves into passion for seeking European coffee after I tried Spainish coffee. Because American Latte emphasizes in more milk than European in espresso, I was not used to the strong coffee taste when we first tried Latte Macchiato (=cafe latte in Starbucks) in Millano, Italy. However, as days went by, a cup a day, I grew accostumed to appreciate the aroma of pure coffee beans due to less flavor masking from milk. I have not drank coffee from Starbucks ever since.

After this year’s trip to Spain, I have started to appreciate the fact that European coffee’s smaller proportion of milk has reduced the overall size of the beverage which makes drinking coffee less like having a meal but complimentary to one.

From a friend’s recommendation, I finally discoverd a great cafe and drank an authentic Italian coffee today. This Cafe Artigiano in Downtwon Robson, not only has great coffee beans with dreamy aroma, they also make coffee art while they add milk to espresso. Everyone can sip their own uniquely designed latte.

Next time, my friends, when you come to visit, we will definetely make this one of the destination to go.
