What happens to those who keep the coffee in the fridge? If the coffee is left in the fridge at low temperatures and with humidity it loses all its fantastic aroma and absorbs the smell of other foods, ending up taking on a rather strange taste. Ground coffee must be stored in a cool, dry place. A shelf not exposed to sunlight is the most suitable place. Both ground coffee and beans suffer from heat, cold and sudden changes in temperature. It is good to know that the shock caused by the coffee coming out of the refrigerator causes condensation inside the container and humidity is the enemy of its good conservation. Leaving the coffee in the freezer damages the natural fats and depresses its aroma.

What is the good aroma of coffee for? The good aroma of coffee is that scented trail that pleases and makes it drink. The rich, captivating and mysterious scent gives the coffee much of its irresistible charm. A large number of substances are present in the good aroma of coffee. Among these, odorous molecules with a thousand shades that are received by the olfactory cells and reach the brain. Today among the coffee professionals its good smell is traced back to different nuances: hints of caramel, toast, chocolate, fruity scents, citrus notes, aromas of dried fruit and many others. During the tasting, smells of sandalwood, tobacco or incense are perceived.

What are the benefits of coffee? The benefits of coffee are mainly 4. It facilitates digestion because coffee has a stimulatory effect on gastric and biliary secretion. Coffee has a tonic and stimulatory effect on heart and nervous function. This is why its energetic effect is appreciated, useful among other things for not falling asleep after eating a lot. Coffee also has a lipolytic effect and that is why it promotes weight loss. All thanks to the caffeine that stimulates the use of fats and thermogenesis, increasing the amount of calories burned. Coffee has an anorectic effect and if taken in large doses therefore decreases appetite.

How to recognize a good coffee? Preparing a good coffee is a real art. If a good dose of powder is not used in the preparation, a coffee without creaminess and not very tasty is obtained. In other words, a coffee under extract is obtained. If, on the other hand, you put too much coffee in the filter of the machine, the result is a cup of coffee with too thick and dark cream. In this case it is an over-extracted coffee and has a frothy speck on the surface. The good espresso of the bar, therefore, must take on a brindle color, with hazelnut or rather dark brown tones.

What damage can coffee do to health? Roasted coffee has a significant amount of tannins left behind. Tannins form a specific bond with proteins. This is why they inactivate the protease, lipase and amylase enzymes, which play an irreplaceable function in the body. This inhibition involves negative interference in the metabolic utilization of many nutrients. Tannins also seem to negatively affect the absorption of trace elements. Coffee should be avoided by those who suffer from heart patients with signs of nettle insufficiency but also from neurotics, arthritics, dyspeptics, people who suffer from physical fatigue. Coffee should also be avoided by arteriosclerotics due to any sudden cardiovascular changes.

Coffee, Italian pride. Coffee arrived in Europe in the 15th century, via Istanbul, where the chief court coffee maker was a close adviser to the sultan. In Italy, the drink arrived first in Venice, thanks to commercial relations with the Near East. It is no coincidence that the oldest Italian coffee is the Florian, in Piazza San Marco, inaugurated in 1720. Among the historic places in Naples, Gambrinus (name given in honor of the legendary king of Flanders, inventor of beer) stands out. Born with the unification of Italy in 1860, it becomes the heart of worldly life frequented by illustrious guests. From Princess Sissi, the Empress of Austria who tasted a violet ice cream there, to the poet Gabriele D'Annunzio who wrote the lines of the song "’ A vucchella "here. And in 2015 Pope Francis also had breakfast for us. A sign that a good Neapolitan espresso is a blessing.
