About Me:
Grandson of a major italian green coffee trader in the '50s,'60s and '70s, coffee has always been a "forbidden" drink for me as a child.
This was of course a formidable booster of my desire and love for it since...ever.
In 1976 I started cuptasting single origin samples and "our" own blends with the Napoletana filter coffeemaker (the official system in my grandfather's coffeehouse) personally prepared by "the boss" about 5 to 10-11 times a day.
That's where I built my personal "coffee profile database".
Sailboat Charter Skipper in the Mediterranean and Atlantic ocean during the '90s, since 2001 I have my own importing,trading and roasting company in Napoli (ITALY).

    Carlo,

    This is Ex Captain Kenny. Want to say hello and catch up. Drinking a cafe from one of your Salimbene cups. Also sent an email to your business address...might have gone into your junk mail.
