| At the same time? Not that I know of. I always get the idea of Germans enjoying a very strong coffee (big cups, not expresso) maybe a European roast...very dark, very...almost an east european coffee, but classier. Donuts? Well, you've heard the line above, you do the math(s) | |

Or, like that scene from "Baghdad Cafe" where the guy SNORTS a line of his own coffee off the diner counter because he doesn't like the
crap he's just been served...

OK, for you kids who don't know anything about JFK. During the Berlin airlift, he wanted to show solidarity with the cut-off city, saying "Ich bin ein Berliner." He thought it meant "I am citizen of Berlin." It turned into a joke, though, because in Germany, a "Berliner" means a jelly doughnut. They definitely have doughnuts in Germany, though they are more likely to come from a konditorei than a bacherei. And plenty of coffee -- who could forget J.S. Bach's "Coffee Cantata"?
