For takeaway,” when you hear this expression, you are very probably in Switzerland. And when it is preceded by “coffee,” you are undoubtedly experiencing a privileged moment, even if somewhat fleeting. Some pleasures remind us that city life can also have its charms. Such is the case with coffee for takeaway, which keeps us company on the way to work, by car or on foot, between two trams, or while crossing a commercial intersection lined with commercial signs and dreamlike reflections.

Some have made it a morning ritual, with their little habits, between restaurants and tobacconists. Coffee for takeaway can also be enjoyed during a recreational break, or during a simple walk along the shores of a lake. And Switzerland certainly has no shortage of lakeside cities, from Bern to Zurich, Geneva to Neuchâtel.

The Swiss are among the greatest lovers of the dark beverage in the world. Strong or mild, long or short, flavoured or plain, its consumption is always a pleasure for aficionados.
