뜻
To request a coffee at a cafe or restaurant.
문화적 배경
In Germany, 'Kaffee und Kuchen' is a traditional afternoon ritual. Ordering a coffee often implies you might also want a piece of {der|m} Apfelkuchen or {die|f} Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte. Vienna has a unique coffee culture. If you just 'bestellen einen Kaffee', the waiter might ask you to be more specific. Common types include '{der|m} Kleiner Brauner' or '{die|f} Melange'. In Switzerland, coffee is often called '{der|m} Kafi'. Ordering a 'Kafi Luz' means you're getting coffee with a shot of schnapps! Germans love Italian coffee culture. You will find many 'Eis-Cafés' in Germany run by Italian families where you order 'un caffè' (which is an espresso) using German phrases.
The 'Einen' Rule
If you forget everything else, remember the 'n' at the end of 'einen'. It shows you understand German cases!
Wait for the 'Bitte'
Germans value politeness in service. Never just say 'Kaffee!'. Always add 'bitte'.

Cash is King
