Central European coffee is mild and rational

Not as enthusiastic as the Italians or as romantic as the French, people in central and northern Europe drink coffee rationally and gently, just like their organized nationality. European life and coffee have almost formed an inseparable link, except for the different coffee drinking methods in Italy and France, from Austria, Switzerland, Germany, and even several Nordic countries, it can be said that the habits and tastes of coffee are more or less the same. they are well aware of the golden mean and belong to the taste of medium concentration.

People in Central and Northern Europe make coffee at home, the most commonly used handy filter paper coffee pots, and the common household electric coffee makers (Drip Coffee Maker) in Taiwan. Among them, the filter paper brewing coffee method (Paper Drip) originated in central Europe, was invented by the German Mrs. MERITA at the beginning of this century, and spread widely in European countries. But the coffee in the business premises, due to the need for a large amount of fast supply, is still dominated by the Espresso coffee machine, but with different flavors of coffee beans. Perhaps the biggest difference between drinking coffee in cafes in these countries and in Taiwan is that they make a clear distinction between coffee, sugar, and milk. Many cafes have different prices for black coffee and coffee with milk on their price lists. some even include portions as a factor in price differences. Some countries in central Europe, such as Austria and Switzerland, are famous for making dim sum and a variety of cakes, of course, have become another excellent performance on the coffee table.

In recent years, the average coffee consumption of the people of the four Nordic countries has been among the top four in the world (more than 1,000 cups per person per year). Their love of coffee is best described by a libretto from an opera by Baja: such wonderful coffee is sweeter than a thousand kisses and more intoxicating than vintage wine!
