Julius Meinl: tada ir dabar

Julius Meinl I. opens a spice shop in downtown Vienna, where he sells green coffee beans, cocoa, tea, spices, rice and sugar.

Julius Meinl II. revolutionises coffee roasting with a process he developed himself. The beans no longer come into contact with coal gases. For the first time, the coffee beans are free of aftertaste, while keeping their full, natural aroma.

The company headquarters moves to today’s Julius Meinl-Gasse (the street was later named after Julius Meinl II in 1954) in the 16th district of Vienna, where you can still find it today.
