Customers opinion

Thomas:
'I was flying to Frankfurt for an important meeting. In the business lounge at the airport, I’ve tried Marizzi for the first time. I’m not a connoisseur, I just wanted a tasty dose of caffeine, but what I got was the very essence of coffee. A delightful taste, beautiful foam and an irresistible smell. Since then, I always ask for Marizzi and I manage to find it much more often, also outside Poland.' -
Ann:
'As I was waiting for a delayed flight to Greece, I became so tired that I decided to energize myself with a quick espresso. I was served Marizzi, I tried it and just fell in love with this coffee. An intensive aroma, beautiful foam and this taste... I love this coffee and I always ask for it.' -
Andrew:
'En route to holidays, I ordered an americano in an airport café. I saw the word Marizzi on the cup and some delightful crema on the surface, I smelled a unique aroma and my taste buds experienced something truly extraordinary. Since then, wherever I travel, I hunt for this very coffee.' -
Vito:
'We Italians are picky and I myself have tasted coffee from hundreds roasting plants, so I know what I’m talking about. I’m sure Marizzi will become famous thanks to customers’ recommendations. Every day, when I’m standing behind the bar, I can hear pleased murmurs of gourmets and then their loud comments on how unique this coffee is: at the same time very “Italian” and yet different from most of our coffees.' -
Arturo:
'Thanks to Marizzi, I have more and more regular customers. Even if they just drop by for a quick doppio before work, they often stay for a little bit longer to enjoy the taste. Some say that their boss will forgive them for coming late as soon as he or she tries this coffee too.' -
Alessandro:
'People usually enter a café because they are attracted by the smell of coffee and its taste determines whether they will come back. We have only recently started to serve Marizzi, but there are more and more guests asking for “this delicious coffee from Bologna”. I made sure that we have a bigger supply of it, because I myself love flat white based on Marizzi.'

Sebastiano:
'After the first sip of Marizzi, my guests often ask where to buy this coffee. They focus on the taste, aroma and beautiful crema. When those who already know Marizzi order a coffee, be it an espresso or a cappuccino, they always emphasize that it has to be Marizzi because it stands out from other Italian coffees.' -
Roberto:
'In the mornings, when I pour Marizzi into the grinder, I know that the taste and aroma which I’m about to smell in a moment will enable my guests to start their day out right with an espresso. Most of them say Marizzi is their favourite coffee and the reason why they return to our café. Also for an afternoon latte.'
HOW TO STORE WHOLE BEAN COFFEE?
The shortest answer to this question is: in the same bag in which we bought it. The bag needs to be tightly sealed and preferably kept in another sealed container. It is not worth pouring coffee into glass containers because it loses its fragrance quicker and is exposed to light, which can have a detrimental effect on coffee. Vacuum containers are very popular. They come with a special pump used to suck the air out. It definitely has a positive effect on the quality of stored coffee, but it is not worth pouring coffee into such containers because they are made of plastic and coffee will absorb their smell.
SHOULD WE KEEP COFFEE IN THE FRIDGE?
Many coffee lovers keep coffee in the fridge, but we do not recommend this method because coffee quickly absorbs other smells, so when it is stored like that, it may later give off the smell of some aromatic dish. Even when we put coffee in a sealed container to protect it against absorbing smells, it will still be cooled, so when we take it out of the fridge and pour some of it into the grinder, warm air will get in the container and when it comes into contact with cold beans, they will become moist. And apart from light and air, moistness is another factor which has a detrimental effect on the properties of stored coffee.
WHAT'S UNIQUE IN MARIZZI COFFEE?
At Marizzi, we roast coffee beans in small batches, maintaining extraordinary care at every stage of this process. We monitor each of them to achieve the highest possible quality, and thus - to offer a product with unique taste and aroma properties. It is our honor to preserve the same flavors of our coffees in each delivered batch.
WHAT COFFEE DO WE PREFER IN ITALY?
In Italy, we most often consume espresso and its "dairy" variations. We do not avoid robusta, generally regarded as a lower quality species. Refined in blends, Arabica, it contains the most stimulating caffeine and gives beautiful crema. In the past, when the south of Italy was poor and the north was rich, cheaper robusta was consumed in the south and the further north, the smaller was the share of this species in mixtures. It can therefore be concluded that the Italians' taste of coffee with milk and cappuccino is the result of the former popularity of robusta. Two things remain unchanged - Italians still love to burn coffee "for coal" until it burns and still value the addition of milk in coffee.
HOW TO TAKE CARE OF A PROFESSIONAL COFFEE MACHINE?
Professional coffee machines, which can be found in restaurants and cafés, require regular care. So remember:
EVERY DAY... when work is finished, thoroughly clean the coffee machine.
ONCE A WEEK... clean containers for coffee beans in the grinder and make sure that holes in the coffee filter are not obstructed.
ONCE A MONTH... check the level of beans in the grinder and replace them whenever necessary.
ONCE A YEAR... call a dedicated service which will carry out a periodic inspection and replace worn-out components of the coffee machine and the grinder.
WHEN WAS THE COFFEE MACHINE INVENTED?
The first home coffee machine was invented by an Italian, Achille Gaggia, in 1946. Thanks to the lever which increases the pressure of hot water, you can obtain an intensive taste and crema, that is the layer of foamed essential oils extracted from ground coffee. The method of brewing espresso has not changed until today. Modern electric coffee machines pump water with optimal temperature under sufficiently high pressure. It is worth remembering that coffee for such machines should be ground a little bit more finely than sugar.
