Notes / Tips / Wine Advice:
Coffee and Chocolate
We know that chocolate was particularly loved by the Habsburgs thanks to a gold chocolate service belonging to Empress Maria Theresa. It can be found today in the Viennese Kunsthistorisches Museum, with its pot, chocolate cups, spoons, and sugar sprinkler. There you can also see an enlightening watercolor of a “chocolate lever,” showing the Empress and Emperor with their children, taking their morning chocolate. The artist can certainly not deny having a particularly intimate view of the daily life of the court. After all, she is the Archduchess Maria Christine. In reality, the imperial breakfast was not quite as saccharine as the picture: The gaggle of imperial children was fed barley soup, and only Prince Consort Franz Stephan von Lothringen could never begin the day without his pot of chocolate. The Empress herself drank coffee.
