[Leica] Salgado and Illy Coffee OT a bit

              As an F&B enthusiast - I echo your recommendation about Illy 
coffee - their
              claim to fame is consistency and consistency - also they do 
not cater to the masses

              One caveat - after Illy - the rest may not measure up

By the way Illy, located in Trieste, is one of the best Italian coffee.
Riccardo Illy served as the Mayor of Trieste, now is the Governor of
Friuli-Venezia Giulia that's one of the twenty Regions of Italy.
Illy aims to operate in a fair and sustainable coffee market. In Italy
Illy is involved in the sponsorship of many cultural events.

I suggest you to try an Illy coffee also at your home with a moka!

ciao
