Maria's tour was the highlight of my trip to Naples. We were brought first to a specialty cafe still respectful of tradition, where, over delicious sfogliatelle frolle, we tasted one espresso with chili, and then a typical Neapolitan blend brewed in a cucumella, which she explained is the predecessor to the moka pot. We moved onto Bar Mexico where we tasted Passalacqua blend caffè con cremina, which blew me away as the platonic ideal of Neapolitan coffee--decadent and powerful. If you have become accustomed in Naples to ordering un caffè normale and stirring in your own sugar, you must try this specific expression, as it is not available elsewhere.
While Maria is a native Neapolitan, she is not dogmatic about tradition, instead remaining open minded about other methods outside of her home town regardless of what she prefers for herself. This makes her just as comfortable to speak on fun bits of trivia regarding Neapolitan customs, e.g. the acceptability of drinking water before or after your coffee, how not to develop 3rd degree burns on your lips your first time in Naples, etc.--as she is to speak on single origin coffee, V60s, etc.
She is clearly knowledgeable and genuinely passionate about her trade and was extremely receptive of the way too many questions I had for her. As such, the experience was very special and personalized, and I could not recommend her more for anybody wondering what is the fuss about coffee in Naples, compared to the rest of Italy and the world. If you drink coffee casually, be prepared to pour what you used to drink
down the sink. If you are instead the kind of coffee person who owns a WDT tool and has a preference for conical or flat burrs, she has no less to offer. 10/10 must do in Naples.

María was a brilliant tour guide; she was friendly, enthusiastic and very knowledgeable about coffee. She chose two really different places for us to do our tasting, which meant we got a really good sample of options to try. One of our favourite moments was when we got to taste coffee with chilli - wow, I can still feel the heat on my tongue 👅. Whilst walking to the different venues, Maria also supplied some interesting information about the streets and historical buildings, so a tour within a tour. We really enjoyed Maria’s company and would highly recommend this tour.
