This is a red letter day. We agree, on a subject very dear to my heart. Although, to be contrarian, it is my considered opinion, that Paris offers more consistently good coffee (as in near to heaven) than one can find in Italy. (I was there recently as it happens Shadowfax, in St Peters Square to see your new man announced to the crowd.)
To the gent that suggested New Orleans has good coffee. No, it doesnt, in my experience anyway. Having once spent a week in NO then travelling on to Paris, that first espresso in a cafe in rue de Rivoli opposite the Hotel deVille, was indeed a moment of deep contrast. ))
