The first Kimbo Coffee Embassy opens in London, an exclusive place where the coffee ritual is celebrated in all its charm and poetry.
The pleasure of tasting a good coffee is a little moment of daily happiness, a unique instant when product quality and service quality blend together and enhance each other.
Yet an extraordinary mastery that combines art, science and impeccable manners is required to prepare and serve an outstanding quality coffee.
Kimbo, the historical Italian brand which embodies the authentic Neapolitan espresso, and Caffè Caldesi, renowned little corner of Italy in London delivering the best of Italian food, has agreed to promote the etiquette of coffee in the capital of the UK.
As a consequence, the first Kimbo Coffee Embassy outside Italy opens in the charming area of Marylebone, as a place where coffee receives all the respect, attention and care it deserves.
Starting today, customers of Caffè Caldesi can enjoy the best blends, obtained from selected origin coffee, subject to strict quality controls and brewed according to extensive knowledge and craftsmanship, typical of the Neapolitan tradition.
The Embassy offers a wide selection of coffees, first of all the original and authentic Neapolitan espresso, created to give consumers a rare, special and unmistakable taste.
The choices also include the unique Kimbo Cuccuma coffee, which is prepared with the traditional Neapolitan flip coffee pot through the long and theatrical ritual of coffee percolation.
The Kimbo Cuccuma coffee delivers a remarkably uncommon sensory experience, something very exclusive in the London coffee scene.
Furthermore, customers of the Embassy can try the Americano coffee or any of the different variations with milk: macchiato coffee, cappuccino, latte macchiato and mocaccino.
Particular attention is paid to the quality of service: each kind of coffee is served in an a different cup, especially designed to enhance both aroma and fragrance. In addition, a chocolate candy or a small cookie is always placed on the saucer to accompany the tasting.
The hot drink is regularly offered with a glass of water, in order to cleanse the palate before enjoying the coffee. Espressos are always prepared manually with a lever machine, highlighting the barista’s skills. In addition, customers are encouraged to stay as long as they like to savour and enjoy their coffee, whether at a table, counter or bar.
The Kimbo Coffee Embassy is not only an excellent coffee bar, but also a place where the secular Neapolitan culture, associated with this drink, is promoted and explained.
The premises of Caffè Caldesi will also host both free and paid tasting courses for professionals and amateur, at the end of which participants will be awarded a certificate of attendance.
The Kimbo Coffee Embassy is located at Caffè Caldesi, 118 Marylebone Lane, London, W1U 2QF.
