Hardly any other beverage is used as experimentally as coffee. Unusual coffee creations, bright designs and colors as well as healthy ingredients are more in focus than ever.

Trend 1 Cold brew tonic

For this mixed drink, a classic cold brew coffee is mixed with tonic water in a ratio of 1:2. Add a few ice cubes and a slice of orange. And if you're a gin lover, add a shot of gin.

Trend 2 Coffbucha

Coffee and kombucha are mixed here. Kombucha is a superfood and makes a great refreshing drink. Kombucha is produced when sweetened tea is fermented by the so-called kombucha fungus. Kombucha is drunk cold, just like the mixed drink Coffbucha. Kombucha is a true benefactor for the body: the probiotics it contains have positive effects on the gut, heart and brain.

Trend 3 Egg Coffee

A Vietnamese coffee specialty is making a name for itself: egg coffee, prepared with eggs. Something for the sweet-toothed among us. The egg yolk is whipped into a foam with plenty of sugar or sweet condensed milk and then added to the coffee.

Trend 4 Maca

Another superfood coffee. Maca is a cress-like plant from the Peruvian Andes. Maca coffee is a real stimulant, as the maca tuber has a caffeine content three to five times higher than coffee. Its powder is simply added to the coffee.

Trend 5 Cornettochino

Two of the most delicious things combined: cornetto and cappuchino. At the Fenster Café in Vienna, you not only get a delicious coffee served directly through the eponymous window, but also the unique combination of an ice cream cone.
