Back to school but not any school! I got to be a Lavazza Coffee student for a day at their new training center in Zürich, and get immersed in the fabulous and tasty world of coffee. I must confess that I’m still a novice in this area. I just started drinking coffee a year ago and my palate hasn’t quite developed yet to the taste of coffee but I’m working on it!
Coffee in the Western world is like tea in the Middle-East. It brings people together for convivial drinking. Also perfect excuse to sit outside on a beautiful day and watch people go about their day. It’s more than fulfilling a need, it’s a ritual, a cultural statement.
And Lavazza, since its debut in 1895, established itself as a world leader and innovator. Its constant pursuit of excellence is what kept the brand alive and relevant for over a century, all over the world. Lavazza is about:
History. Emotions. Family. Rituals. Love. Future.
Lavazza new Training Center in Zurich
Lavazza and Coca Cola Switzerland just opened their Swiss training center. Considering that 90% of the population here consumes coffee daily, it was a wise decision. This center is not only for professional baristas but also for people like you and me who are interested in understanding and perfecting the art of making delicious coffee.
