When I studied in Austria (in Kufstein, the pearl of Tyrol) from 2009 to 2012, I quickly realized that there was some truth to the rumor that Austria had better coffee than Germany.
I very, very rarely had a bad cup of coffee in Austria. I also greatly appreciated that a glass of water was served with every coffee. Not to mention the elegant coffee houses in Vienna. My Viennese friend Linda had to explain to me that you can't just order "a coffee." No, you have to be a bit more specific. You practically need to know your way around a coffee lexicon if you want to experience all the Austrian coffee specialties. Here are a few examples, which I won't go into in detail:
- Small or large black
- Small or large brown
- Extended
- Capuchin
- Fiaker
- Viennese Melange
- single horse
Coffee with a shot
Everyone knows coffee with a shot of alcohol. With a shot of rum, it would be the so-called Pharisäer, or Dutch coffee is refined with eggnog. Café au Kirsch, as the name suggests, is made with cherry brandy.
By the way: It's worth taking a look at Wikipedia's list of coffee specialties.
Maria Theresia Coffee
The Maria Theresia coffee specialty immediately appealed to me. The combination of coffee and oranges is right up my alley, as some of you know. ;-)
Maria Theresa's classic recipe calls for a mocha to be enhanced with a shot of orange liqueur. Optionally, this mocha can be topped with a little sugar and whipped cream.
This recipe isn't quite the classic version – it uses milk – which is why this Maria Theresa is much lighter in color. The full recipe is below.
And as you can clearly see, I don't own a piping bag. The "icing on the cake" looks more like a sunken mound of whipped cream...

Maria Theresia Coffee
- 100 ml milk
- 2 double espressos
- 80 ml orange liqueur

The ingredients make two cups.
Before you begin, warm the two cups or coffee glasses with hot water.
Gently heat the milk in a saucepan. Add the two freshly brewed double espressos and the orange liqueur. Stir well, but do not bring to a boil. Meanwhile, whip the cream and sweeten it with a little vanilla sugar.
Now fill the Maria Theresia into the pre-warmed glasses and garnish with whipped cream.
