Classic No. 01
The undisputed monarch of Viennese café culture. One shot of light-medium roast espresso combined with equal parts steamed milk, topped with a velvety layer of dense milk foam.
Coachman No. 02
Originally crafted for coachmen holding horses with one hand. Double mocha in a handled glass topped with an insulating cap of thick, cold whipped cream (Schlagobers) and icing sugar.
Monastic No. 03
Named for the brown color of Franciscan friars’ robes. A Melange where the steamed milk froth is replaced by a generous dome of real whipped cream and a sprinkle of bitter cocoa.
Pure Extract No. 04
Pure Viennese espresso without milk. Brewed with medium-roasted Arabica and Robusta beans, emphasizing nutty, caramel, and chocolate notes rather than excessive acidity.
Interactive No. 05
A black mocha served with a tiny porcelain creamer (Kännchen) of heavy coffee cream (Kaffeesahne) on the side, allowing the guest to calibrate the exact shade of brown.
Spirited No. 06
Named after the traditional two-horse carriage drivers. A strong double mocha spiked with a shot of Austrian Stroh rum or plum brandy (Slivovitz), served in a tall footed glass.
