POC People on Caffeine – Specialty Coffee

Almost 200 years ago, Beethoven’s body was waiting here for its journey six feet under. In this former funeral parlour of the Dreifaltigkeitskirche in Vienna’s 8th district, Robert has built his small kingdom of coffee that he calls POC (People On Caffeine). Fortunately, today this space, instead of hosting decomposing composers, it features great coffee.

POC reminds us of the rustic charm of our grandfather’s workshop – everything seems a bit chaotic and improvised, all working surfaces and shelves are full of coffee accessories. But it’s chaos of a comforting nature. The small seating area with two tables blends seamlessly into the coffee kitchen. Two espresso machines from La Marzocco are employed, one for the everyday work, the other specifically setup to take on those experienced tastebuds of coffee nerds.
