What to buy here: Viennese coffee. To recreate the Viennese traditions of intellectual discussion over a long afternoon of coffee drinking you must visit Viennese institution, Julius Meinl. For 150 years Julius Meinl has been Central Europe's leading Coffee Company. The Meinl story begins in 1862 when Julius Meinl opened his first grocery store, selling spices and green coffee in the center of Vienna. He created coffee blends and was the first to offer them freshly roasted for sale. This innovation was accepted by the Viennese with enthusiasm and brought the young man great success. A packet of Vienna roast with beans from Costa Rica or Brazil will range from 10.00€ - 14.00€. The coffee is offered in a range of light roast which suits filter coffee, medium roast which has a more caramelized taste good for Viennese coffee recipes or else dark roast which is harsher, stronger and more intense, perfect for espresso. Other design objects offered by the Meinl brand include espresso cups, tea cups and milk jugs in an affordable price range of €7.50 - €26.00. Or if you know someone who likes to read with their morning brew then perhaps a Julius Meinl newspaper order is the best choice, €30.00.
