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.

What makes a good pizza: Lessons from Vienna's First Pizza Association

Pizza is the most democratic of all dishes. Everyone has an opinion about it, almost everyone thinks they understand it—and yet an alarming number of people fail at this culinary “common property.” In Vienna and beyond, Neapolitan pizzerias are now springing up everywhere, some excellent, others whose interest in good pizza comes to an abrupt end. As we all know, quantity does not equal quality. Or, to quote Martin Albrich from the First Vienna Pizza Association: Pizza is bread. And bread forgives nothing.

Beeswax cloth meets bread culture

Zero waste for professionals and guests

The Austrian brand Kumanu shows how circular thinking can be applied in everyday life—and makes doing without plastic both practical and aesthetic. With its “Frischefritz” beeswax wraps and ‘Krümelkarl’ and “Pausenpaul” bread and snack bags, it provides the industry with a well-thought-out solution for keeping food fresh for longer – without any plastic or aluminum foil.

The products are made from GOTS-certified organic cotton, organic beeswax from Austria and Germany, and tree resin from traditional pitch production – a combination that has an antibacterial effect and guarantees natural durability.
