Trend 2 Coffbucha

Coffee and kombucha are mixed here. Kombucha is a superfood and makes a great refreshing drink. Kombucha is produced when sweetened tea is fermented by the so-called kombucha fungus. Kombucha is drunk cold, just like the mixed drink Coffbucha. Kombucha is a true benefactor for the body: the probiotics it contains have positive effects on the gut, heart and brain.

Trend 3 Egg Coffee

A Vietnamese coffee specialty is making a name for itself: egg coffee, prepared with eggs. Something for the sweet-toothed among us. The egg yolk is whipped into a foam with plenty of sugar or sweet condensed milk and then added to the coffee.

Trend 4 Maca

Trend 5 Cornettochino
