Napoleon grinder with private coffee Coffee with celebrities

Napoleon, a prominent French politician and strategist, also had a life-and-death relationship with coffee.

Before the Paris Revolution, Napoleon fell in love with coffee when he was still a young artillery officer. He had to use a military cap as collateral to pay his debts after drinking coffee in Pucco. He is an out-and-out coffee maniac who has a good idea of coffee. He likes to grind his own beans and how much he drinks. He never forgets to take his beloved Turkish cylindrical hand bean grinder with him, so later generations jokingly call the Turkish bean grinder the "Napoleon bean grinder" in memory of this coffee fanatic.

Napoleon's private coffee is excellent. After the coffee is brewed, put the sugar on the spoon, drench the brandy and light the fire, until the aroma of caramel comes out, and then stir with the coffee. Drinking in the middle of winter is the best.

It is said that during his expedition to Russia, Napoleon relied on brandy caramel coffee to keep warm. After his defeat, Napoleon was imprisoned by England on the island of the island of saint Helena in the South Atlantic Ocean from 1815 to 1821. The island has successfully grown Yemeni mocha coffee since 1733, and Napoleon's only pleasure in being banished to the island is to drink St. Helena coffee. Four days before he died in 1821, Napoleon was obsessed with the smell of coffee. His entourage, Bette Hang, wrote for this: the once mighty hero asked for another small spoonful of coffee on his deathbed, which made people cry.

The originally unknown St. Helena coffee, because Napoleon had to take a sip on his deathbed, became famous and became the most mysterious aroma in the boutique coffee world.
