My first thought was that the hipsters have finally taken over Nürnberg!
What I didn't know was that hipsters apparently also have magnificent coffee-making skills!
I tried an espresso macchiato and was promptly asked whether I favoured a more chocolaty or more fruity taste. I went for the chocolate one (Indian espresso beans) and what can I say - it was absolutely delicious! Even 30 minutes after leaving the Machhoerndl I could still feel the lingering taste in my tongue. Not too bitter, but really intense and full-bodied. Perfect!
I might have chuckled at the hipster guys behind the counter at first but I have to admit they know what they are doing! The coffee roast factory is situated in Gostenhof (hipsters apparently call it GoHo now...) but thankfully you can also get the coffee in the city centre now.
BTW, you can only get sugar if you ask for it - they want you to taste the coffee as such first - this is a kind of public education that I wholeheartedly support!
Bottom line:
* very hipsteresque and made me chuckle first...
* ...but the chuckle got stuck in the throat when I tried the coffee
* ...this could very well be the best coffee in town at the moment! read more
