04.28.05 | New DVD from Bellissimo: Over 1 hour of uninterrupted coffee imagery from around the world!

Bellissimo Coffee InfoGroup, well known for its award-winning coffee-industry training materials and consulting services, announces the release of "Caffe Ambiance," a DVD that will mesmerize and educate coffeehouse patrons with scenes of fancy pours, coffee picking, harvesting and processing from around the world.

Bellissimo developed Caffe Ambiance for coffee business owners to play in their cafés or on their showroom floors. The DVD is an expertly photographed series of coffee landscapes, joined together by fast-paced editing and accompanied by a hip sound track of original ambient music, specifically composed for each unique segment. For quieter times, the images speak for themselves with the volume turned off. In addition to coffee-related imagery from North, Central and South America, Europe and Africa, Caffe Ambiance is sprinkled with beautiful fancy milk art pours that will convince customers that a cappuccino is truly art in a cup.

"I've been wanting to make this DVD for years," said Bellissimo President Bruce Milletto, who composed the sound track and photographed many of the images included in the DVD. Caffe Ambiance shows customers where coffee comes from and allows them to truly appreciate the heart-felt effort that goes into their morning cup."

The 60-minute DVD is formatted to repeat over and over, allowing you to play Caffe Ambiance all day long without tending to the DVD player.

Caffe Ambiance retails for $79.95 but is currently on sale for $69.95. Wholesale discounts are available.
