| Coffee ABC | |||||||
|
When going to a traditional Viennese Kaffeehaus, people
don't simply order "a coffee". This would immediately be followed
by the waiter's question: "Was für einen Kaffee hätten
Sie denn gerne?" (What kind of coffee would you like?) The most popular coffees are: |
|||||||
|
Melange - 50% espresso and 50% hot milk, the popular Melange is served with milk foam on top (like an Italian "cappuccino"). Brauner - Black coffee with a dash of milk. It comes as "Großer Brauner" (big) and "Kleiner Brauner" (small). Verlängerter Brauner - Watered-down version of the "Brauner". Mocca or Schwarzer - Coffee without milk. It comes as "Großer Schwarzer" (big) and "Kleiner Schwarzer" (small). Verlängerter Schwarzer - Like the "Schwarzer", but with a little bit more water in it. Cappuccino - Unlike its Italian version, Viennese cappuccino has whipped cream on top. If you want an Italian cappuccino, you should order a "Melange". Kaffee verkehrt or Milchkaffee - Coffee with a lot of milk.
And the more exotic names: Biedermeier Kaffee - Big "Mocca" with apricot liquor and whipped cream. Einspänner - Black coffee or "Mocca" served in a glass topped with whipped cream. Fiaker - A "Fiaker" is a carriage pulled by horses that takes tourists around the town. In a Kaffeehaus, however, it is an espresso with rum or cognac served in a glass topped with whipped cream. Franziskaner - "Melange" with whipped cream. Kaisermelange - "Mocca" mixed with an egg yolk and honey or sugar. Kapuziner - Big "Mocca" with a dash of milk or whipped cream. It looks as brown as the dress of a "Kapuziner" (Capuchin) monk, hence the name. Maria Theresia - "Mocca" with orange liquor. Mariloman - Hot "Mocca" with Cognac. Mazagran - Cold coffee with rum and ice. Mozart Kaffee - Big "Mocca" with cherry Brandy and whipped cream. Obermayer - Big "Mocca" topped with a bit of cold cream. Phasisäer - Black coffee topped with whipped cream and served with a glass of rum. Türkischer Kaffee - Turkish coffee -- very strong black coffee served with grounds in a copper pot. Wiener Eiskaffee - Cold "Mocca"
with vanilla ice-cream and whipped cream -- more a dessert than a drink! |
