Prior to this advent (and certainly since) I was never all that impressed with German coffee. It was pretty much the same in France with the exception of the French tended to prefer darker roasts.

There always seemed to be a lot of tea drinkers in Germany. I do a bit of tea, but it's not really my thing so I have no idea how Germany rates on the tea scale.
