Storica bottega del viale Mario Rapisardi. Entrare li è sempre una piacevole esperienza sensoriale. I proprietari sono due persone adorabili che anvora oggi danno anima e corpo per garantire la qualità. Il loro caffè è il migliore che abbia trovato. Io compro il tipo arabica. Prendo quello in chicchi perche adoro l'odore che sprigiona nel momento in cui lo macino (manualmente). I chicchi sono lucidi, profumano di cioccolato, il gusto è delicato, per niente aspro e posso berne anche 2 o 3 senza avere la sensazione di nausea. Ogni volta che scelgo di regalare questo caffe è sempre un successo. Consiglio assolutamente di provarlo.

Rappresenta la storia della torrefazione. Si è appena rinnovato cambiando veste ma la tradizione continua ad esserci rappresentata dalla meravigliosa signora che lo gestisce insieme al marito. Qualità e cortesia e grande esperienza lo rendono un posto unico.oltre al caffè e alle capsule e cialde compatibili si trovavo anche tante idee regalo e i fantastici chicchi di caffè al cioccolato Ottime le pastte di mandorla e le mandorle della nostra bella Sicilia.

Tra i migliori caffè esistenti, ricco di grande cultura ed esperienza, da quasi mezzo secolo, miscelato da un'accurata selezione come si faceva una volta, già questo basta a descrivere la bontà del prodotto.

if you’re a tourist who has fallen in love with Italian coffee, i strongly suggest that you visit Lina and Conncatto instead of heading to one of the many Bialettis. their hospitality and care is something that i will remember forever and it was such a beautiful gift for my last day in Catania. thank you for taking the time to explain to me how to care for my very first Moka pot and for the instructions on how to prepare my coffees and also for letting me discover how you prepare your coffee beans and also also also for the taste of probably the most delicious espresso in my life! i am currently enjoying the aroma coming out of the three bags of coffee grounds and look forward to savoring every cup back home. thank you again so so so so much for the coffee and such a deeply warm memory! thank you!
