At the start of Grüne Woche - have a coffee first
From Colombian tinto to Fischländer lupin coffee - there are many different types of coffee at Grüne Woche: The coffee tour gives trade fair visitors a good overview.
When comedian Hape Kerkeling walked the Way of St. James, he liked to take a breather with a cappuccino before continuing the arduous journey. Anyone taking the Grüne Woche walk through more than 20 exhibition halls covering almost 120,000 square meters is also well advised to take a coffee break. The street food market in Hall 1.2 or the bright red Melitta bus in the flower hall are ideal places to start at the South Entrance.
Coffee with a difference
The coffee bliss continues in Hall 4.2 with Viennese delights (4.2/209) and Italian coffee from Luigi Bossio (4.2/429). At Tommasi Food (4.2/414), visitors can enjoy coffee cream as a slushi or a scoop of coffee ice cream.
“We have the classics, but also coffee lemonade, espresso martini and Dubai coffee with pistachio syrup,” reveals Jil Vivienne Berghäuser from BaristaBee Berlin (5.2/411). If you want to reduce your caffeine levels and carbon footprint, try grain and lupin coffee at LandDelikat Bio Rösterei. The Rost couple from Fischland-Darß-Zingst know a lot about coffee preparation, from the cevze to the French press (5.2/230). On Saturday, January 18 at 2 p.m., Michelle Rost will present coffee cocktails with coffee alternatives on the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern stage.
Coffee from around the world
The bean for the Boonie Kenyan Coffee by Mary Wambui from Berlin (6.2/161) comes from Kirinyaga, below Mount Kenya. In Ireland and Canada, there is Irish Coffee (7.2b/121) and Cowboy Coffee with whisky or firewater (7.2b/115). If these harder coffee variants cause you to falter, you can use the seating at the stands to take a breather.
Arvid Nordquist, Sweden's leading coffee brand (8.2/117), continues in a classy vein. For more than 140 years, the family business has focused on quality and sustainability. “For us, everything is either fair trade or rainforest-certified,” says Lisbeth Olsen, Head of Export. Trade fair visitors can find Colombian coffee at Café Sierrazul (10.2/103) or at the family business Ordnoñez (10.2/128). Here, owner Christian-Andrés personally brews a Tinto.
Karolina's Art Café from Lodz serves coffee, cakes and roasted almonds, hazelnuts and cashews. (11.2/107). The coffee journey continues via the North Entrance, past the Coffee Bike in Hall 20 and Milchland (20/112) to the “Kaffeeklatsch” at Emil Reimann (21/216).
Trade fair visitors can enjoy delicious cappuccino and pumpkin spice latte from the bright red coffee machine, accompanied by cinnamon buns with chocolate or pistachio coating, at Kaffeerösterei Herrmann (21/126). Those who prefer Baumkuchen with their coffee will find it at Bettina Hennig, right next to the Roy coffee roastery (Hall 23/229).
For all those who have feasted their way through the various coffee varieties mentioned here and not mentioned for reasons of space, there is one more test waiting in Hall 27/310, namely whether the slogan of Pelikan Kaffee Rösterei is true. It says: “The best coffee at Grüne Woche”. Is it?
