Switzerland Drinks 1.87 Cups of Coffee a Day — A High‑Spending, High‑Quality Coffee Nation

Viet‑Coffee Australia — European Coffee Culture Series Switzerland

Switzerland drinks 1.87 cups of coffee per person per day, but what makes them unique is not the volume — it’s the quality. Swiss consumers spend some of the highest amounts per cup in the world, driven by:

  • premium beans

  • capsule culture (Nespresso was born here)

  • Italian‑influenced espresso drinks

  • a national preference for smooth, refined flavours

Let’s explore Switzerland’s favourite coffee style, dessert, and cocktail — and how they pair beautifully with Vietnamese coffee.

⭐ 1. Switzerland’s Favourite Coffee Style: Café Crème

A long, smooth espresso — mild, creamy, refined.

Best Viet‑Coffee Pairings

  • Gourmet Blend — smooth, aromatic, elegant
  • I Blend — caramel + chocolate depth
  • Sáng Tạo 8 — premium, refined, perfect for Swiss taste
  • Sáng Tạo 3 — clean, balanced, Scandinavian‑friendly
  • House Blend — mild, everyday pairing
  • G7 Black Instant — excellent for Swiss capsule/instant culture

Why it works

Swiss Café Crème is mild and silky — Vietnamese blends add aroma and depth without overpowering.


2. Switzerland’s Favourite Dessert: Zuger Kirschtorte

Almond meringue, sponge, buttercream, Kirsch — light, nutty, elegant.

Best Viet‑Coffee Pairings

  • I Blend — caramel + nutty notes match almond layers
  • Gourmet Blend — smooth, aromatic, refined
  • Sáng Tạo 8 — premium pairing for a premium dessert
  • Sáng Tạo 5 — fruity Excelsa notes complement cherry liqueur
  • Che Phin 5 — deeper roast for contrast
  • G7 3‑in‑1 — creamy sweetness matches buttercream

Why it works

The dessert is delicate — Vietnamese coffee adds structure and chocolate richness.



3. Switzerland’s Favourite Coffee Cocktail: Schümli Pflümli

Hot coffee + Swiss plum brandy (Pflümli).

Best Viet‑Coffee Pairings

  • Saigon Phin Daklak — bold, earthy, cocoa‑rich
  • S Blend — strong, traditional, perfect for cocktails
  • Che Phin 5 — deep roast stands up to brandy
  • Sáng Tạo 5 — fruity notes complement plum brandy
  • G7 Black Instant — fast, consistent for cocktail service

Why it works

Plum brandy is fruity and warm — Vietnamese Robusta adds depth and intensity.
