Why it's worth it

Julius Meinl is the Viennese coffeehouse name, founded in Vienna in 1862 and an ambassador of UNESCO-listed coffeehouse culture. Präsident is its classic medium-roast house blend, the closest thing to a bag of Viennese café coffee you can take home, and it is not a Czech supermarket staple.
