Gin is in, as is coffee. Turm Kaffee now brings the two “it” drinks together. Only the finest coffee beans end up in the bottle together with alcohol distilled from juniper. The blending ratio remains a secret, unlike the origin of the coffee: the beans come from Honduras, where they are produced and harvested under fair conditions. Turm Kaffee, “The Gin – Coffee”, 500 ml, approx. 49.-

Food is about being together – and people have always celebrated this. Fear of new cultures is best cured with a delicious meal. At least that’s the view of the Berlin association Be An Angel, which aims to overcome linguistic, cultural and political barriers with its restaurant Kreuzberger Himmel. Here, refugees chop side by side, wield a wooden spoon and bring to the table what they like best at home. Integration at the stove, so to speak, which also involves the guest. The aroma of cardamom and black cumin hangs in the air, while dishes with names like Mnasale, Sabaneh or Frikeh pile up on the plates. When the flavors dance on your tongue and your stomach is happy, prejudices are eaten at least as quickly as the delicacies served up by the crew from four nations.

Virgil Abloh is like the new Lagerfeld of the fashion industry. What the designer tackles turns to gold. His latest coup: the collaboration with Evian, for whom Abloh has designed a glass bottle. The latter shows tiny droplets of water, symbolizing the fact that every idea begins on a small scale. Together, Evian and Abloh are calling for a rethink, as the collection also includes two refillable Soma bottles.
