What is a Viennese coffee?
Vienna coffee is the name of a popular cream-topped coffee. It contains espresso, chocolate and whipped cream. Traditionally, it is served in a glass and topped with whipped cream.
Where does Vienna coffee originally come from?
Legend says that coffee was introduced to Vienna by the Turkish after their second attack in 1683. The city was liberated after several months of siege thanks to information provided by Franz Georg Kolschitzky, a young Polish nobleman. As a reward, he received 500 bags of coffee abandoned by the enemy in their camp. Kolschitzky experimented with the Turkish coffee, but the Viennese didn’t like the taste. So he decided to filter his coffee, and sweetened it with milk and sugar. It became an immediate success. The rituals he created around coffee drinking, like playing music and reading newspapers are still followed today.
