The Gran Caffè La Caffettiera in Naples presents the Cuccuma Week, a week of coffee events!
From 3 to 8 April 2017 at the Gran Caffè La Caffettiera in Piazza dei Martiri in Naples the "Cuccuma Week". It is a series of events whose main theme is coffee, its origins, its use in the kitchen or in the preparation of drinks, its ability to unite friends, people you love, or even to make people know new.
A week dedicated to cuccuma, the historic tin or tin coffee pot invented in 1819 by the Parisian Morize and used in Italy until it was replaced by the moka espresso in the XNUMXs. At the Gran Caffè La Caffettiera, the Neapolitan entrepreneur Guglielmo Campajola has cultivated his passion for coffee over the years, preparing it with care, devotion and respect for tradition, so he decided to dedicate six days to the cuccuma.
You can thus attend the coffee preparation ritual, as our grandparents used to prepare it and breathe that unique scent that often brings to mind memories of our childhood and finally delight you with that more intense flavor than the espresso prepared with the moka. The Cuccuma Week program includes various events that will take place in the afternoon, starting at 17:30 pm, without the need for a reservation. Let's see the calendar in detail.
