An Einspänner is a Viennese coffee drink consisting of espresso ("Mocca" in Viennese terminology) topped with whipped cream. It is traditionally served in a glass rather than a mug or a coffee cup.
== History == === Origins === In German, an "Einspänner" is a kind of carriage pulled by a single horse (one-horse carriage). The drink's name refers to the carriages that were common in Vienna in the 19th century, as it was intended for the drivers. Whipped cream was used to insulate the coffee on cold days, keeping it warm for as long as possible. The Einspänner also found popularity beyond carriage drivers and quickly became a staple of Vienna's coffee houses.
