Now Brewing: LavAzza

posted by xscot mcknight | 12:10am Monday September 1, 2008

Ah, a subtle return to Italy in a cup of coffee. While in Italy Kris and I often stopped mid-morning and mid-afternoon for a cup of coffee, usually a latte. As often as not we were served one of Italy’s best: LavAzza. So, we bought a big bag of what makes LavAzza’s family proud. I recently made an espresso shot for Luke and he liked it very much, and I’m lapping it up. Funny how a taste triggers memories of place, not the least of which was one of our fine cups on the shore at Positano.

Our Common Prayerbook 30 - 3
Psalm 30 thanks God (vv. 1-3, 11-12) and exhorts others to thank God (vv. 4-5). Both emerge from the concrete reality of David's own experience. Here is what that experience looks like:Step one: David was set on high and was flourishing at the hand of God's bounty (v. 7a).Step two: David became too

Theology After Darwin 1 (RJS)
One of the more important and more difficult pieces of the puzzle as we feel our way forward at the interface of science and faith is the theological implications of discoveries in modern science. A comment on my post Evolution in the Key of D: Deity or Deism noted: ...this reminds me of why I get a

Almost Christian 4
Who does well when it comes to passing on the faith to the youth? Studies show two groups do really well: conservative Protestants and Mormons; two groups that don't do well are mainline Protestants and Roman Catholics. Kenda Dean's new book is called Almost Christian: What the Faith of Ou

Let's Get Neanderthal!
The Cave Man Diet, or Paleo Diet, is getting attention. (Nothing is said about Culver's at all.) The big omission, I have to admit, is that those folks were hunters -- using spears or smacking some rabbit upside the conk or grabbing a fish or two with their hands ... but that's what makes this diet

I do not remember having LavAzza distinctly, however my current espresso choice is the Illy brand.

That’s what I buy here in Montreal all the time. It’s a great espresso!! With a nice cream on the top.
I have to admit, when I was in Italy, I had espresso 3-4 times a day, after 3 weeks, I had to take a 6 month sabbatical from it – it felt like it burned my stomach. That was 10 years ago, and after the sabbatical, I resumed to about 1 a day.

The Lavazza Espresso Point machine looks like a great way to make single shots of espresso…I wish I had one!

Nice choice!
A little piece of trivia. it’s also the official coffee of the Swiss Railway (SBB – Schweizerische Bundesbahn). Stewards (like me for the last few months..) wheel their trolleys up and down the train with snacks and an Espresso Point machine attached to a huge battery and supply the needs of espresso-thirsty business travellers all throughout the country!
