Coffee Quiz With Italophilia (7th Edition)
Ishita is our next subject for the Coffee Quiz with Italophilia, the biggest and only Indian blog about Italy and how cool is that! We have been following her Instagram account for awhile and love that she seems as obsessed with the Bialetti tricolore as we are!
She writes about having an ‘inexplicable’ connection to Italy that started when she first visited in 2013 on a girls’ trip. Since then, she’s been traveling there regularly and started blogging in 2014. And speaking of her blog, it’s got everything: travel tips, Italian language tips, city specific info on Rome, Turin, Florence and Cinque Terre as well as articles about various regions like Tuscany and Le Marche.
And if you’re in India, she does custom travel planning, a great option for those who haven’t been before and would like to talk it through with an experienced traveler!
Lastly, she got married last year (auguri!) and while she doesn’t know when her next trip to bella Italia will be, she’s not worried…as she recently posted: “Truth be told, in the past years, Italy has always “come” to me. It has always found me at a time when I most needed it.”

Tell us about your morning coffee routine. For instance, what time do you have your first cup of coffee or espresso? How do you make it? Do you take milk or sweetener? Do you drink it before you officially start your day or do you have it as you’re already starting to get things done? Is it a solo or shared experience?
My morning doesn’t start without coffee. It’s a ritual that my husband and I share and cherish. Our moka pot gives us a cozy feeling and extra comfort every morning. I usually have coffee with a dash of milk and not a fan of sugar in my coffee. Sometimes I add honey in it! Apart from the moka pot, I also have a Nespresso machine at home that I use every now and then.
