Janina Hartwig greets them very friendly, almost exuberantly, she sits down at the table and casually says that she will order a cappuccino in a moment. “You can’t gamble without gaffee.” Please? “You can’t fight without coffee – that’s what my father always said, and it comes from August the Strong,” explains Hartwig. August the Strong was Elector of Saxony, and coffee was forbidden at the time, for whatever reason. In any case, when the elector went to war, he still had a coffee.
