Coffee breaks - the timeless pleasure

Drinking a cup of coffee is a small daily pleasure that is part of each one of us. Synonymous with relaxation, it is the best excuse to take a break. However, we rarely pause to think of the origins of this timeless pleasure. Coffee has its own many legends and folk traditions.

There are some who say that Homer, in the city of Troy, used coffee. The first coffee in Europe seems to be even around 900 - 1000 AD. One thing certain is that this dark drink became, in what is today Yemen, a real custom, which was even supported by the government that praised its energy quality.

In Europe, the first coffee is thought to come from the Venetian traders in 1615. Prospero Alpini, the botanist and physician of Venice, studied the drink and brought it to the knowledge of the Venice people. At first, coffee was used for its digestive and medical properties and also, for this, its price was immediately quite high. Today we find Caffee Florian, one of the oldest coffee shops, under the arcades of St Mark’s Square of Venice.

In today's hectic life, one can not miss the time for a coffee break. Coffee is usually the preferred choice of drink in the workplace, as well as in our homes and in bars. Due to its increasing demand, coffee machines and drink machines are now becoming more technologically equipped and have many versions and variations, all designed to enhance the quality of the various aroma of coffee.

We find professional espresso machines and semi-pro ones for private consumption. Also, there are automatic drink espresso machines that allow us to enjoy coffee any time of the day, both in the workspace and along a corridor. In the new models of coffee machines for domestic use, there are lines of innovative and elegant design because these machines have also become an object of furniture that enrich every environment. For use in the workplace, very comfortable and versatile are the drink machines, machines that allow fully automated, simply by inserting coins of small denomination, to have ready in a few seconds a hot or cold drink, depending on the request.

In every place, at home or at work, the coffee break is around the corner. The drink, with its many traditions and ancient stories, is a daily pleasure that today, thanks to technological development in machinery and drink machines, you can consume comfortably in any environment.
