padTo Make the Perfect Irish Coffee



Irish Coffee: History in the Making.... The first Irish Coffee was reputedly made by chef Joe Sheridan who tended the restaurant at the air base in Toynes, which later became Shannon Airport.

The story goes that late one night in 1943 Joe Sheridan administered coffees to some weary passengers, adding a drop of something to liven them up. "Hey Buddy," said an American traveller, "is this Brazilian Coffee?" "No," said the chef, "it's Irish Coffee."



'Coffee Culture' is wide awake in Ireland. As more and more people ask for cappuccinos, espressos and lattes, there is an explosion of interest in speciality coffees. Bewley's are the market leaders for supplying coffee in Ireland.

It could be said that coffee is like wine, and as we learn more about it, we appreciate its finer qualities and infinite variety. Bewley's have been importing and roasting the finest coffees since the beginning of the 1900s and as the market leaders in Ireland, are unrivalled when it comes to superior quality coffees.

Whether it is in one of the countries growing number of cosmopolitan cafes, top-class restaurants or cosy coffee shops, chances are you will be enjoying Bewleys coffee.
