“Kaffee und Kuchen” is an afternoon ritual where friends, family, or coworkers will meet for an hour or two to enjoy coffee, cake and social time.
Coffee was introduced to Germany in 1675 and many coffee houses began to spring up in places like Hamburg, Bremen, and Hanover.
Despite significant lifestyle changes in the twentieth century, the tradition is still very much alive.
Today’s Kaffee and Kuchen gatherings do not follow certain rules or formalities, and people of all ages and social statuses can be found sharing tables, conversing, and enjoying their favourite afternoon beverages.
A little piece of trivia:
Perhaps not everyone knows that it was Melitta Bentz a German lady who invented the first coffee filter for a coffee machine.
