There is still a long way to go, though. We are definitely behind the rest of Europe.<\/p>\n<p>For me, coffee is a moment of pleasure to be enjoyed peacefully. I&#8217;m a big fan of espresso and cappuccino, but I also love experimenting with other methods of extraction. At the moment I&#8217;m trying to use the Aeropress.<\/p>\n<p class=\"img_container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-38307 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lamarzocco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/4-views-on-milan-fusillolab-30-683x1024-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"960\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Between photoshoot sessions and the other activities at Fusillo Lab, I always try to make some time to prepare a good coffee with my La Marzocco Linea Mini. I have a collection of specialty coffees from all over the world, discovered in small roasteries from my travels. Besides being very good, they are also very photogenic!<\/p>\n<p class=\"img_container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-38310 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lamarzocco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/5-fusillolab_interni_web-3b-682x1024-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"961\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If I&#8217;m out for work, the micro-bakery <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lepolveri.com\/chi-siamo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Le Polveri<\/a> is one of my favorite places.
