This distinct taste, perfected in time, is likened to the world’s finest wines, which is incomparable in their flavor and characteristics.
Here too is very strength of the Bialetti Caffe, which highly esteems the specialty coffeemarket. It’s extensive and comprehensive range of unique blends is designed to perfectly reflect the coffee lovers’ changing moods anytime of the day.

BIALETTI CAFFE PHILIPPINES COFFEE SHOP ‘PIONEERS’ “Thoughts shall flourish.”
The poet Karina Soerjodibroto was proven right.Thus, the very idea of a coffee shop, all began in the year 1475. Kiva Han, who is acknowledge as the person responsible for starting the very first coffee shop located in Istanbul, a Turkish City in Constantinople, believed that coffee shops are responsible for a lot of events in history…“let’s have a cup and let the conversation flow,” became somewhat his motto. (Source: Sean Paajanen). Then during the 17th Century, European cafés opened in Italy, France, Germany and England. Years and years later, this was brought to North America during the time of the ‘European Pilgrimage’ to the New World (following the ‘discovery of America’ by famous world navigator –Christopher Columbus).
BRIEF ON PHILIPPINES COFFEE SHOP
At the start of the New Millennium, the Philippines began experiencing that great surge in the popularity of coffee shops, evolving somewhat into a phenomenon, whereby the opening of more and more coffee shops was seen almost every day, spread among its three Regions –Luzon, the Visayas and Mindanao. Lines inside these coffee shops would seem to be endless all the way until closing time.
This scenario is enhanced by the fact that today’s coffee shops in the cities, have become popular meeting places for both young and old alike, most particularly the young adults working in various call centers, who bring with them laptops for internet connectivity. This makes it more convenient and relaxing for all said patrons of said coffee shops. Others go to the said local coffee shops to read leading local newspapers, magazines and other periodicals.
Thus, the expansion of coffee shops in the Philippines in every block, and with plenty of 📷variations for every taste, has somewhat created that ambiance of a ‘home-away-from-home’ feeling.
