Filter coffee

Percolated or filter coffee, the timeless black drink, is traditionally prepared in a filter coffee machine, where hot water drips slowly through the coffee powder into a funnel-shaped filter. The latest trend is the French press, which gives the coffee a particularly full-bodied and aromatic flavour.

For additional variety, you can refine your coffee as you wish: a dash of vanilla sugar adds a subtle sweetness, while chocolate sprinkles provide a special flavour.

Café Crème

In contrast to filtered coffee, which is brewed in a percolator, café crème is made from freshly ground coffee beans. A fully automatic coffee machine or portafilter may be used, whereby hot water is forced through the ground coffee under high pressure. While café crème is ready in about a minute, filter coffee takes a little longer.

Mocha

In Germany, we refer to mocha as Turkish coffee, which is prepared in a small pot. Finely ground coffee powder is boiled with water and sugar and served in small cups.

The coffee is often heated twice: the first time the foam is scooped into the cups, the second time the coffee is poured in, including the coffee grounds. To make the mocha even more fragrant, you can refine it with cloves, cinnamon or cardamom.

Espresso is a much-loved energiser and an after-dinner classic. In Italy, espresso is traditionally exclusively drunk after 10 a.m. and is known there as ‘caffè’. To prepare this intense coffee drink, you use very finely ground coffee powder and press hot and highly pressurised water at 92 to 94 °C through it. It takes just 18 to 22 seconds to make 40 to 50 ml of espresso, which is then served in pre-heated cups.

Lungo - The extended espresso

A lungo is an alternative in which an espresso is brewed with twice the amount of water. The result is a milder yet aromatic coffee that is not as strong as a conventional espresso. The lungo is perfect for anyone who prefers a smoother flavour without having to make compromises on the full aroma.

Ristretto - The concentrated espresso

A ristretto is a particularly intense espresso variety that is prepared with less water. This makes it stronger and more concentrated than a normal espresso. With its strong flavour and quick drinking pleasure, the ristretto is the ideal choice for coffee lovers who need a strong caffeine kick in a short space of time.

Caffè Doppio - The double Espresso

Caffè Doppio, better known as double espresso, consists of a single brewing process with a double portafilter, where two portions of espresso filter into one cup at the same time. This speciality coffee offers an intense flavour and double the energy - perfect for those who want to satisfy their caffeine needs in a single cup.

Caffè Americano - An espresso style filter coffee

Caffè Americano is a popular coffee variant that resembles a filter coffee. An espresso is diluted with hot water. While the Caffè Americano is typically prepared in some countries as a double espresso with water at a ratio of around 1:3, the preparation is different in Italy: here, a single espresso is infused with double the amount of water. The result is a milder drink that retains the full flavour of the espresso but is served in a larger, less intense portion.

Coffee with milk

Coffee with milk is the perfect choice for a milder coffee flavour. It consists of filter coffee and hot milk, although the proportion can vary: In Austria, there is the ‘Melange’ (half coffee and half milk) and the ‘Kaffee verkehrt’ (two-thirds milk and one-third coffee). It is usually served in a large cup.

Café au Lait

Café au lait is the French version of coffee with milk and is made with equal amounts of coffee and hot milk. A stronger coffee or espresso lungo is often used to ensure that the coffee flavour is not compromised by the intensity of the milk.

Espresso Macchiato

The Espresso Macchiato offers a sophisticated flavour for espresso enthusiasts. It starts with a classic espresso, and is then topped off with a small dash of hot, frothed milk. This blend is served in a small glass or cup and offers an intense yet balanced flavour experience.

Flat White

The Flat White is a delicious combination of double espresso and lightly frothed milk. In contrast to a cappuccino, the milk in a flat white only has a subtle crown of foam and remains slightly more liquid. The flat white is often artistically decorated with latte art, which makes it particularly appealing and aesthetically impressive.

Cappuccino

A Cappuccino consists of an espresso topped up with equal parts milk and frothed milk - i.e. 1/3 espresso, 1/3 milk and 1/3 frothed milk. In Germany, whipped cream is often used instead of milk, and it is often flavoured with cocoa powder. While cappuccino is the staple breakfast drink in Italy, it is also a favourite afternoon drink around the world.

Latte Macchiato

Latte Macchiato is very popular in Germany and is served in tall glasses. It consists of 1/3 espresso, 1/3 hot milk and 1/3 frothed milk. The espresso is added last, creating the characteristic layers. This mild coffee is also available in flavours such as vanilla, chocolate or caramel and is ideal for first-time coffee drinkers.

Cold Brew

To make Cold Brew, coffee powder is mixed with cold water and steeped for several hours at room temperature. The mixture is then filtered to obtain a particularly smooth coffee.

Iced coffee with ice cream

Iced coffee consists of chilled coffee and vanilla ice cream. Depending on individual tastes, it can also be flavoured with other types of ice cream and whipped cream.

Iced coffee with ice cubes

Pour hot espresso over ice cubes and sweeten to make iced coffee. This quick, flavoursome drink is particularly refreshing on hot summer days.

Café Frappé

Café Frappé is a refreshing Greek coffee speciality. Prepared using instant coffee and milk, it is frothed together and cooled with ice cubes. Additional sugar or milk may be added to enhance the flavour.

Frappuccino

Consisting of a cup of coffee or espresso, crushed ice, syrup and often whipped cream, the Frappuccino is a cold coffee drink. This creamy, refreshing drink is perfect for a cooling coffee break.

Café Corretto - The Italian classic

The term ‘caffè corretto’ means ‘corrected coffee’ and applies to espresso with a shot of alcohol. In Italy, this classic coffee is usually refined with grappa, a local spirit. Sometimes espresso and grappa are served separately, with the espresso being savoured first, followed by the grappa. Internationally, espresso is often mixed with other strong spirits to achieve a particularly subtle flavour.

Bourbon Cobbler: an unforgettable experience

The Bourbon Cobbler combines the strong flavours of bourbon whiskey with the rich taste of mocha liqueur and refreshing, cold coffee. This elegant cocktail is ideal for special occasions or relaxed moments and offers a harmonious blend of whiskey, liqueur and coffee. Perfect for anyone looking for a unique flavour experience.

Irish coffee: the perfect mix of coffee and Whiskey

Irish coffee is a delicious classic that combines strong coffee, fine Irish whiskey and a delicate topping of cream. Originally created in Ireland in the 1940s, this drink is the perfect balance of flavoured coffee and warm whiskey, rounded off with a creamy topping. It is symbolic of Irish hospitality and is ideal for cosy moments.

Pharisäer - the classic from North Frisia

Pharisäer is a traditional drink from Nordstrand, the island in North Frisia, and a real highlight for coffee lovers. This drink combines strong coffee with a subtle hint of brown rum and is served with a generous helping of whipped cream. Whether served in a special mug or a cappuccino cup, the Pharisäer combines flavour and tradition in a delicious moment of pleasure. Perfect for a cosy break or for entertaining guests in style.

Espresso Martini - A delight for coffee aficionados and cocktail enthusiasts

The Espresso Martini is more than just a cocktail - it is a true flavour experience that combines the power of caffeine with the sophistication of a classic martini. This popular drink originated in London in the 1980s and has since become a favourite in bars around the world.

The preparation is very simple: fresh espresso, high-quality vodka and a hint of coffee liqueur combine to create an intensely flavoured drink. The perfectly frothy surface and strong coffee flavour make the Espresso Martini ideal for the evening hours when you're looking for a little energy kick.
