One of the farthest coffees the show has tasted.

We have a special over land and seas correspondent, Anna Williamnova, in Moscow who is giving us a feed, or shall I say a slurp, into the Russian coffee scene. This is our first international review, but certainly not the show’s last. Na zdorovia!

1792, Moscow
This corner restaurant/coffee shop is named after some historical event, which might have something to do with a German poet or the French revolution. The décor is simple with dark wood tables and some comfy chairs at lower tables. The coffee is also simple, you have a choice of espresso or Americano only. No cappuccino. No latte. However, coffee is included with all of the very tasty breakfasts, ranging from blini with sweet or savory fillings, omelets, and steak and eggs.

Grub: 5 revolutionists. Tasty, not too filling, and lovely looking, especially the ricotta griddle cakes (pictured).
Coffee: 4 German poets. Espresso shots have a creamy foam on top and are very smooth. If you ask for milk with your Americano, you'll get a small personal pitcher of hot milk.
Scene: 2-3 historical events. You can sit forever, but like almost everywhere in Moscow it's smoky. The music ranges wildly from techno, to Nina Simone, to Phil Collins. Sometimes perfect, sometimes grating.
