Coffee Latte

Fanz George Kolschitsky, a Viennese, is the founder of Cafe Latte with milk and coffee.

The famous phrase "I'm not in the cafe, I'm on my way to the cafe" was said by a musician in Vienna.

The air of Vienna is always filled with the smell of music and Latte coffee. The first person to add milk to the coffee was Kochsky of Vienna, who also opened the first coffee shop in Vienna.

This is the story of 1683. This year, the Turkish army attacked Vienna for the second time. The then Emperor Augustus I of Vienna had an offensive and defensive alliance with King Augustus II of Poland, and as soon as the Poles heard the news, reinforcements would arrive quickly. But the question is, who will break through the siege of the Turks to deliver letters to the Poles? Kochsky, a Viennese who had traveled in Turkey, volunteered to deceive the besieged Turkish army in fluent Turkish, crossed the Danube and moved to Poland. Although the Ottoman army was brave and skillful, it retreated hastily under the attack of the Polish and Viennese armies, leaving behind a large number of military supplies outside the city. Among them were 500 bags of coffee beans-coffee beans that the Muslim world had controlled for centuries and refused to flow out so easily reached the Viennese. But the Viennese don't know what it is. Only Kochsky knows that this is a magical drink. So he asked for the 500 bags of coffee beans as a reward for breaking through the siege and used the trophies to open Vienna's first coffee shop, Blue bottle. At first, the business of the cafe was not good. The reason is that people in the Christian world do not like to drink coffee grounds as Muslims do; in addition, they are not used to this dark and bitter drink. So the clever Kochsky changed the recipe, filtering out the coffee grounds and adding a lot of milk-this is the original version of the latte that is common in cafes today.

In Vienna, there are many old shops that are more than a century old, where people play bohemian music. the aroma of coffee and dim sum in the air and the reserved and conservative red men and women often remind you of the stories of ancient Europe.
