Einspänner: A Classic Viennese Delight
Einspänner is a traditional Austrian coffee drink that has graced the tables of Vienna's classic coffeehouses for centuries. This delightful beverage is a testament to the beauty of simplicity. With just three ingredients, you can create a drink that is both comforting and indulgent. Let's explore how to make an Einspänner using your Keurig machine and the environmentally-friendly PodMkr.
Equipment
- Keurig
- PodMkr
Ingredients
- Freshly Ground Coffee Beans
- 1-2 teaspoons Sugar adjust to taste
- Whipped Cream
Instructions
- Preparation: Begin by grinding your choice of coffee beans with the PodMkr. The freshness of the beans will ensure a robust flavor, setting the foundation for your Einspänner.
- Brewing: Place the freshly filled stainless steel pod into your Keurig machine. Select the size of your preference (typically 6-8 oz for a standard coffee cup) and let the machine do its magic.
- Sweetening: Once your coffee is brewed, add sugar according to your taste preference. Stir well to ensure the sugar is fully dissolved.
- Topping: Generously top your coffee with a dollop of whipped cream. The cream serves as an insulator, keeping your coffee warm for longer. Plus, as it slowly melts into the coffee, it adds a creamy richness.

Notes
Enjoying Your Einspänner:
With your Einspänner ready, find a cozy spot, take a moment, and enjoy the layers of flavor. Sip the hot coffee through the cold whipped cream for a delightful contrast of temperatures and textures. Each sip offers a sweet, creamy start followed by the deep, aromatic notes of the coffee.
Tips:
- For an added twist, sprinkle some cocoa powder or cinnamon on top of the whipped cream.
- If you prefer your coffee on the stronger side, opt for a dark roast or increase the coffee-to-water ratio slightly.
- Always use cold heavy cream for whipping; it will give you the best and fluffiest results.
