Italian Lifestyle: Coffee for all occasions

The smooth and refreshing taste of coffee has been enjoyed for centuries. Across the globe, an entire ‘coffee culture’ has emerged, bringing together coffee connoisseurs and everyday coffee lovers, with the aim of celebrating and reinventing this traditional drink. Today there is a coffee to suit just about any occasion.

In South Africa, the coffee culture continues to grow with superior coffee houses popping up all around the country. But do we really even know where the word ‘coffee’ comes from? A bit of an oddity really, the original name for coffee seems to have developed from the Yemen term for wine! In Eastern-Europe is was called kahveh until the Dutch later referred to it as koffie, where we eventually got the English word ‘coffee’. Whatever the origin, coffee is a household staple in South Africa. With so many variations on the market today, there truly is a blend to suit every taste. We particularly love the passion and artistry that presents itself within the local coffee industry.

Innovation, craftsmanship and a genuine love for coffee, results in some superior coffees making its way to the hearts and homes of everyday South Africans. In true Italian craftsmanship, Italian Lifestyle continues to leave their mark on the coffee industry in South Africa.
