Specialty coffee: leading trend with increase in roasting

(ANSA) - ROME, NOV 05 - Specialty Coffee is the main trend in the world of coffee in the context of CoffeeTrends 2020/2021.

Cold Brew, Flat White and Dalgona Coffee are the fastest growing coffee drinks.

This was indicated by HostMilano, the world fair dedicated to the world of catering and hospitality, scheduled for October 2021. The trend is measured with the contribution of experts in the sector.

The analysis shows in particular that the spread of Specialty Coffee is mainly due to the growing number of small coffee roasters in every city in the world: "from the metropolises of Tokyo and Berlin, to smaller cities like Haarlemin Holland".

From the point of view of consumption, there is an increase in the customer's curiosity about the origin of the bean, of "who produced it at the origin, how it was roasted, by whom, and with what method".

Today in Italy, according to the Italian Espresso Institute (Iei), there are over 800 coffee roasters with about 7,000 employees and a 2017 sales turnover of 3.9 billion euros, of which 1.35 deriving from exports.

"Specialty coffee - explains ChiaraBergonzi, world Latte Art champion - is a proclaimed trend. Above all, it is a discovery of the new generations.

In Italy there have been pioneers in the past, but they did not have the strength to spread the concept of single origin;

therefore, until recently, there was still talk of very few specialized in national territory.

Now, you want for social media, or because the number of people traveling has increased, specialty is also an important factor at national level "(ANSA).
