A trip to a cafe
I recently went on a coffee shop trip. On MONTSIO Street in Barcelona, I found the "four Cats" Cafe. Tourists kept stopping at the door and looked at the small facade of the cafe and the poster by Ramon Casas Ramon Casas. A middle-aged woman was responsible for guiding the tourists to their seats one by one, giving a very brief introduction to the history of the cafe. Many tourists come for Picasso. In 1899, the 17-year-old Picasso held his first exhibition in the cafe, and his paintings were used as the cover of the menu. The bohemian pub was modelled on the "Black Cat" cafe in Paris, but closed at the beginning of the last century and is now reopened in 1978.
Coffee shops can't travel without Vienna. There are more than 600 cafes in Vienna, several of which are famous, such as Sacher Caf é, Sperl Caf é, Havica Hawelka, etc., but tourists prefer to visit the "Coffee Center", Caf é central, which has the most stories. Walking into the coffee center, there was a statue of Adenberg, sitting in a chair with his hand on the coffee table, where the writer wrote, met Schnitzler, was appreciated and went to the literary world. Today, people are not familiar with his works, but most of them know the slogan: "I'm not at home, I'm in the coffee shop; not in the coffee shop, on my way to the coffee shop." This sentence was originally used to talk about the relationship between Adenberg and the Coffee Center, but it gradually evolved into Adenberg's master. If there are some literary cafes in the world that are willing to build a small blackboard at the door and write a famous literary quote, then Adenberg can be called a pioneer. Alfred Polgar, another regular visitor to the Coffee Center, wrote: "most people in the cafe dislike the world as strongly as their desire for the world. They want to be alone, but they need company." Nowadays, many tables in the Coffee Center have a table sign indicating which celebrities have sat here, and you have a famous person to accompany you with a cup of coffee.
From Vienna to Zurich, it is natural to have a look at the famous ODEON Cafe. The cafe is on the edge of Lake Zurich, where Lenin used to play chess when he was in exile in Switzerland. He doesn't like the cosy citizens of Switzerland. The famous guests here are Einstein and James Joyce. According to a guidebook, Dadaism originated in this cafe. In fact, art youths who escaped the war in Zurich during World War I were more likely to meet in the nearby Voltaire pub. After having a drink at ODEON Cafe, which is preparing to celebrate its 100th anniversary, I plan to walk to Voltaire and see a haunted Starbucks within 20 meters. According to the European view, Starbucks offers mediocre coffee, and the taste of capital is stronger than coffee, but can European cafes provide better coffee? In terms of the prices of the "four Cats", the Coffee Center and the ODEON Caf é, they are all higher than the average price of European coffee. This added value is the so-called "cultural significance" of coffee. It costs an extra one or two euros to drink a cup of coffee where Picasso, Zweig and Einstein have had it.
In fact, when you buy a cup of coffee at Starbucks, to a large extent, you pay the rent and win a seat in the office there. if you really want to taste the coffee, most of us will go to a small cafe with more characteristics and know which one has the best beans, which baker is good, and which coffee mixer is good. When we drink a cup of coffee, we all have different purposes. when we get up in the morning, we have a cup of coffee, in order to wake up thoroughly, to have a cup in the afternoon, to refresh ourselves, and another cup in the afternoon, maybe to lose weight. Coffee has different producing areas, and the real coffee trip is to visit the producing areas of Ethiopia, Colombia or Brazil, just like red wine or tea. There is no place in Europe to produce coffee. Europe learns to drink coffee from Turks and Arabs. Despite the fact that Europe hates the expansion of Starbucks, their own big companies also occupy a very important position in the coffee industry. I fake to drink coffee in Zurich, and finally take away from there is a large box of Nestl é coffee capsules, using a pot or a small distiller to make coffee. After all, it is a hassle. If you make a cup of coffee with Nestle's small machine, you can at least see the orange coffee oil instead of white, which is a criterion to judge whether the coffee is good or bad. Some people in the industry say that big companies do monopolize the best coffee beans in the world. In fact, many European coffee shops use Lavazza coffee powder to make coffee. Experts' opinion is that after the coffee is ground into powder, it is best to finish it within 7 days. In the eyes of experts, it is stupid to drink a cup of coffee for the sake of cultural taste.
