One of the best coffees I have ever tasted in terms of quality has been this one. Bialetti is a well-known brand, and I had the opportunity to visit their physical store in Rome. Although it was a quick and short tour because it is a small place, it was very rewarding since one of the things I wanted to do when I went to Rome was to visit it because of the quality of its flavor.
We had already tried their coffee before, but we had bought it online, not in an official store. This time, seeing the wide variety of flavors they have and the incredible feeling of buying in the store itself exceeded our expectations of the experience. We also received a little history of the brand from the girl who served us.
They gave us three different flavors to try, since there were three of us, to make sure we each made the right choice. Vanilla, caramel, and intense. We wanted ground coffee because we really like using the coffee grinder, although they also had options for coffee beans and capsules.
I noticed that certain designs were prevalent throughout the store, and many people were buying products with those prints. There was a beautiful special edition from Dolce & Gabbana, as well as one from Bridgerton. There were mugs, thermoses, containers, and other items. There were colorful items with a Pride theme, and some with Christmas colors were also already on sale.
It's a very unique place for coffee lovers, and the staff will guide you a little in terms of flavors and products if you're a little confused. I finally decided on the vanilla ground coffee, which I immediately LOVED when I tried it. Since they also serve it as an espresso, I felt like I could vary it with milk or even a little water to make it American-style, which was perfect.
We were very happy with our purchase and also with the service. My choice was just how I like it: not acidic or bitter. I'm happy because I love the touch of vanilla in the coffee without losing its essence of what it is, coffee, and now I almost always prepare it for my afternoon snack and enjoy it with great calm and tranquility.
