For Lovers of Italian (REAL) Espresso

I wasn’t sure what category this should be under. It’s an event, but the event isn’t as important as what it signifies.

I just got an email from the EUCCK that the CEO of Illy Coffee will be in Korea next week for the grand opening of the Seoul location of one of it’s new espresso cafes called Espressamente.

Businessweek has a nice feature about Espressamente and how it’s different from Starbucks. I plan to attend the grand opening and have a ton of questions I’d love to ask the guy if I get the chance to talk to him.

If you’re interested in going to the EUCCK Networking event at Espressemente taking place next Thursday in Apgujong, write an email to sunny at euyoon@eucck.org or call 02-725-9909 to make your reservation.
