    The Top 10 Cafés of Beijing

    Chinese people are not considered to be coffee lovers. That is statistically proven by the fact that, in average, they drink just four coffee cups per person, per year, which is significantly lower than the consumption rate of people living in Europe and America. However, the Chinese market is very big and ever growing, which makes it perfect for growing and developing coffee businesses. Also, the huge changes in terms of urbanization, as well as the ever growing number of Chinese people going overseas are things that are influencing the development of the culture of drinking coffee.

From this point of view, it is quite like Turkish coffee. However, the Italians use professional coffee machines that are constantly developed.

Coffee appeared in London at the end of the XVII. century, just as in other Western big cities. The citizens quickly got addicted to the black drink, which also became…

    The Top 10 Coffee Houses of Tokyo

    After The Best Coffee Houses of Osaka, we are going to investigate the capital city of Japan in terms of cafes and coffee culture. Though Dutch traders shipped the first cargos of coffee to Japan in the 17th century, the first coffee house only opened in 1888 in the Land of the Rising Sun. The Japanese modeled their coffee houses after European salons, destined as a place for people to come together and share their ideas. After a while, more and more Tokyo coffee shops opened. While some adopted the lively and social salon model, others set the goal of ensuring peace and quiet for students and workers. Such kissaten…

    The Top 10 Cafés of Berlin

    After our romantic trip around the most exciting coffee houses of Paris, let’s move a bit to the northeast and take a closer look at Berlin, another huge capital city full of opportunities.

This tendency is due to the most fervent supporters of what is known as “Third Wave Coffee”. They made a way of life of this sacred…
