The curator of these
pages on 30 December, 1997, standing in front of the Roman
cafe known as Tazza d'oro. Located at via degli
Orfani 84 (within sight of the Pantheon), Tazza d'oro,
in the judgement of many, serves the world's best coffee.

The curator had made a 180 mile journey from Florence for the sole purpose of
drinking a single cup of Tazza d'oro coffee.
Was it worth the trip? Of course...He made the same journey in
1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002 2003, 2004, 2005,2006 and 2007. |

The curator drinks.
He enjoyed his first cup of coffee at Tazza d'oro
in September 1967. He immediately concluded it was the best he
had consumed.
For years he ranted of the virtues of Tazza d'oro
to all who would listen. Most considered him a crackpot.
He has been somewhat vindicated by an article that appeared several
years ago in the sunday New York Times travel
section, and by a piece that Michael Specter wrote for the October
19, 1998 issue of The New Yorker magazine. |
