Why go
V60 and Aeropress sit on the bar beside the espresso machine at drei kaffeebar, and the shelf behind them sells the grinders and scales to match.
Espresso on one side, filter on the other
This is a specialty coffee bar in the precise sense: espresso-based drinks and filter coffee given equal weight, with V60 and Aeropress named as the brew methods on the filter side. Preparation is the point of the place, and the counter is set up for it rather than for a broad menu.
drei kaffeebar was named in the European Coffee Trip 2025 awards, which fits its standing in the city: a precision bar rather than a general café.
A minimalist room on Fahrgasse
The room is black and white, minimalist and calm, on the first floor of a 1950s building on Fahrgasse in Innenstadt I, close to the cathedral. A modern coffee setup inside an older urban shell gives the space its character, and there is seating indoors and out.
The mood is informal but serious about the cup. It works as a room to sit and think in as much as a place to drink in, and the welcome at the counter is part of why people stay.
Rotating roasters, and bagels at the weekend
drei kaffeebar is the first café of the wider einszwei project, which pairs the bar with coffee equipment and education around brewing. That shows on the shelf: the Ceado Hoop brewer and filters, Kinu hand grinders and Timemore Blackmirror scales, a culture where technique and gear are part of the offer.
The coffee rotates too. A Matter of Concrete, Standout Coffee, Prodigal Coffee and Manhattan Coffee Roasters have all appeared, a curated European rotation rather than one anonymous house blend. Food is deliberately light: a Frankfurt Bagel Company collaboration turns the space into a bagel and specialty coffee pop-up at weekends. Beyond the bagels, the bar stays coffee-first.

Frequently asked questions
What should I order at drei kaffeebar?
Espresso or filter, since both are treated as the main event. The filter side runs on V60 and Aeropress, and the coffee itself rotates through European roasters rather than sitting on one house blend. At weekends, a bagel collaboration gives the counter its only real food order.
Which roasters does drei kaffeebar pour?
It rotates. A Matter of Concrete, Standout Coffee, Prodigal Coffee and Manhattan Coffee Roasters have all come through the bar, so the board changes rather than settling on a single house coffee. Brewing gear is sold alongside, including Kinu hand grinders and Timemore scales.
