Coffee has experienced several leaps and bounds since then. People begin to pay more and more attention to the origin, picking and roasting of coffee beans. Today, there are many things involved in producing a cup of coffee, and the coffee industry must be improved to meet the growing expectations of consumers. Let's follow the report of CNN to take a look at these eight "coffee cities", where the coffee is not good but excellent!

Ten years ago, Australians and New Zealanders opened the first Italian coffee shop in London. Since then, Italian coffee shops have sprung up all over the city.
