When it comes to Germany, the image of beer is powerful, but it is actually a country that consumes a lot of coffee. I will see how Germans enjoy coffee, German coffee culture and its characteristics.

It's not just beer! Germans also like coffee.

Influence Oktoberfest in China, and "beer and sausage" in Germany! A strong impression. However, Germany is a coffee superpower that consumes a lot of coffee around the world.

After the United States and Brazil, pure coffee consumption ranks third in the world. In terms of per capita consumption, higher than the European average, we can see that "coffee is indispensable in life".

A country that enjoys coffee in a variety of ways

Historically, Germany has developed its own technology and integrated into the coffee culture of other countries. In France's "Milk Coffee", Italy's "Italian Coffee" and "Cappuccino", Austria's "Vienna Coffee", and each country's famous coffee, neighboring countries are not actually in Germany.

In Germany, but it is already brewing originally boiling coffee beans, such as Turkish coffee style, or invented siphon, the way of drinking has now become the standard brewing style and extraction method in the world. I am developing it.

Drip filter coffee is the mainstream.

At first, Germans liked dripping coffee. Even now, old people like to drink coffee.

However, mainstream coffee such as Italian coffee and latte is becoming more and more popular among many people, especially among young people, and sales of roasted coffee beans are also growing.

The Germans are close to the Japanese taste and basically drink strong coffee. It is said that coffee brewed by hand is suitable for German breakfast, such as bread and cheese.

Use large quantities of coffee beans imported from Kenya and Tanzania

One of the characteristics of German coffee is that you often use beans from countries such as Kenya and Tanzania (Kilimanjaro). Both are refreshing sour, but depending on the baking is a balanced bean, you can feel a firm bitterness.

These varieties are also very popular in Japan. It can be said that both Germans and Japanese have a strong taste and like strong coffee.

Promise to launch your own coffee maker

When solving problems in Germany, many people bring their coffee machines to the workplace.

It is said that not only coffee, but also Germans like taste and things. Even if the coffee is drunk in the workplace, it comes from the individualistic "I have to prepare for myself" German culture. I am very happy about the German passion for drinking coffee.

The inventor of filter paper

Speaking of German "coffee machine", the famous "Merita" filter paper. Drinking paper, which is now very popular in Japan, is a way of drinking Melita Benz, a housewife who lives in Dresden, Germany.

Melita continued to try and make mistakes, just as I wanted my husband to drink delicious coffee, and reached the point of "filtering" with a piece of filter paper.
