@Karen - yes, I know about the different versions of coffee granita too. We get both the icy slush and the coffee milk shake thing up here in Milan. As you say though - both are great when the heat gets going!

@Diva - the granita di caffé above was from a bar near me here in Milan. Actually, this is the first year I've really noticed coffee granita for sale up here in north Italy.

Thanks for dropping in to both of you,

Alex

I adore coffee granita, and shakerato the foto looks like the new version, which i just had in Amalfi called a cremoso.

somewhere between both!

I love granita! It's funny, when I moved from Sicily to Naples I was surprised the first time I ordered granita di caffe. What they gave me looked like what is in the photo, which is VERY different from what I was used to in Sicily. But let's be honest, be it a miniature whipped coffee milkshake or an icy slush, it's all good when the heat gets going. Ciao, Karen

I don't know when you revamped this ... it's summer, I'm losing my mind, but I love what you've done!

It looks really good.
