Wiener Melange/Everything about a Viennese classic. Guided coffee presentation, history of coffee and how it came to Vienna. Tasting and explanation of various coffee beans in the Café Shop Hawelka. Can only recommend it, although I'm an old Viennese, I learned and tasted a lot of interesting things. Competent, detailed answers were given to all questions and all very humorously. The highlight for me was when Mr. Hawelka came by. Of course I had to take photos.
