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.

Culinary art meets species conservation

Relais & Châteaux

When culinary excellence becomes an ecological statement—and top chefs take responsibility: Sustainability doesn’t end with packaging—it begins with product selection. This is impressively demonstrated by the Relais & Châteaux association, which, with over 580 member establishments, is considered the world’s largest gourmet community. Together with the NGO Ethic Ocean, it has launched an initiative that could not be more consistent: its chefs are committed to removing endangered fish and seafood species from their menus until stocks have recovered.
