In Germany this week. Ordered a cappuccino yesterday. Is that O.K.?

[BobPSU92]

I'm in Germany on business this week and had the opportunity meet up with a friend in Frankfurt yesterday. We went to what he told me is a well-known coffee shop. I had a cappuccino. It was good. Is a cappuccino board-accepted? I could have had a latte macchiato, but I thought better of it.

We are... collectively, outraged.

Has Germany run out of beer?

Damn. I can't get this right. Here I thought I did good. Cappuccinos are popular in Germany, and I knew not to ask for a Vanilla Snuggle.

NOW. I'M. OUTRAGED.

 

[rudedude]

The only appropriate German version of a Vanilla Snuggle is black coffee & a hefty shot of Das Komet vanilla schnapps!

Vanilla Snuggle translate in German as Vanille Kuschelt. It sounds tougher in German.

Haha
Thanks for the laugh

No. In Germany (and I lived there five years), you get a milchkaffe (milk-coffee). It's basically a cafe-au-lait but the coffee places there typically use the best beans. Now you know for next time!

I'll keep that in mind, but milch in kaffe is generally frowned upon here.

So long as you don't get a radler when you're taking in the night so to speak, you drink whatever you want in your kaffee.

These were some recs I got for coffeehouses.
I'll be in FRA in 2 weeks and again at the end of April.

Midnighter ... Over the past few years, I have seen th eGermans start going more and more to pour over coffee - probably started ~3 years ago. I never though milk in coffee was frowned upon either - it has always been offered

NEVER ...... AFTER ........ MORNING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you happen to be in Italy the unwritten rule is that cappuccino is a breakfast/morning drink and not to be taken at lunch or any time after. Expresso rules after the am.

Germany will do cappuccino anytime - followed by beer. Germans are far more liberal coffee drinkers than the Italians. They will tell you the Italians can't make beer and the Italians will tell you the Germans don't have a clue on coffee. Ah Europe what a place.

as long as you use the appropriate utensils (or order an Americano):

I went to Cafe Laumer in Frankfurt yesterday. Their web site is under construction, but the address is Bockenheimer Landstraße 67, 60325 Frankfurt am Main. My friend told me it has been around for about 100 years and used to be a popular meeting place for German scholars. They make excellent cakes (Cafe Laumer, not the scholars ).

Milk in coffee seems to not be popular among folks on the McAndrew board, but my German colleagues often use it.

Not so far. I wore a Penn State T-shirt and Penn State jacket in Frankfurt yesterday. No one reacted to them either way.
