the nickname "Manchester of the North", or as we say Manse for short.
Tampere is about 170 km from Helsinki to north. Temperatures are max +28 and min -20 C.
Tampere is more than close to nature. City centre is surrounded by lake and ridge scenery, sited on an isthmus between lakes Pyhäjärvi and Näsijärvi. The Tammerkoski rapids run through the city. There are 200 lakes and ponds in Tampere, and a total of 450 in the entire region. There are numerous nature reserves in Tampere. Pyynikki and Viikinsaari near the city centre are the best known of them. Pyynikki, which was formed by the action of ice and sea more than 10,000 years ago, is the world's highest gravel ridge. At its highest it rises 80 metres above Lake Pyhäjärvi and 160 metres above sea level.
Hotel Cumulus Koskipuisto:
I have spend many night in this hotel, and I can recommend ...
Advantages: Good size and weight easy to clean Disadvantages: None
+*+*+*+ Coffee Tamper +*+*+*+
Not a lot of people will know this but a coffee tamper is an essential piece of equipment to make a good espresso, and a good espresso will lead to a great cup of Cappuccino, Latte and Mocha.
First you need a roaster to roast the green coffee beans, that's right coffee beans are green before they are roasted. The fresher the beans the better the coffee and you can not get any fresher than roasting your own.
Second comes the grinder and no ordinary grinder it has to be a burr grinder as no other will do. Coffee looses its quality within hours of grinding so best to grind just before making the espresso.
Fourth you need the 15bar pump driven coffee machine this pushes the water through the ground coffee at high-pressure and for the perfect espresso the water should take between 23 and 27 seconds ...
Advantages: Small heart in big city Disadvantages: (road to Turku !)
