The Essential World Cup Souvenir for Italy Lovers

The World Cup season is upon us and Italy’s national team, the Azzuri, will be in the thick of it. During the World Cup, Italians and Italy lovers the world over become super patriotic and will want to fill every corner of their lives with pieces of Italy.

Well, how about waking up to a daily Italian espresso cup of coffee made by Italy’s soccer team? OK, not quite, but you could use this patriotic special World Cup edition Bialetti Fiammetta moka maker to brew up a champion cup or two of good Italian espresso every morning while the soccer championships are on.

Every Azzuri fan should have one!

Like Italy’s World Cup team, the Azzuri moka maker looks pretty good in action, as @newsfromitaly follower South Africa based Katia Pisapia knows only too well. Here’s her champion espresso maker in action:

Looks good, doesn’t it? Don’t hide it away in a kitchen cupboard after you have completed your coffee making, either.

You can find this cute World Cup coffee maker on Amazon.com:

Bialetti: Fiammetta Nazionale 3-Cups – Official Product by Italian Soccer Team [ Italian Import ]

I can’t find the same coffee maker on Amazon.co.uk alas. Sorry about that.

If you are in Milan, you may be able to find this Moka maker in the Bialetti shop in Corso Garibaldi which is in the Brera area of Italy.

Update: Italy played England, and won 2:1!

A Question: What Are You?

With my marketing and media relations English classes at the business school where I work, after a few lessons, I hit them with a seemingly very simple question, which flummoxes most of those in the room. That question is “What are you?”. It elicits any number of responses, and leads to many puzzled faces when I say, “Yes, true, and…”.

After several attempts, some of those in the classroom cotton on to what I’m looking for – remember these are marketing and media relations masters, but I also ask the students on other master courses the same question – usually around the time they are being prepared for job interviews designed to test their levels of English.

So what is the answer to this innocent sounding question? And what has this got to do with Italy?

A List of My Interests

I don’t know if this will interest anyone, but I’m trying to understand how many things interest me. So I’ve made a list, partly for fun, partly to help me understand, and, perhaps, focus in on some subjects a little better as time passes.
