So I have a joke. A nearsighted man comes into a musician store and says:“ I would like to buy the red trumpet and the white accordion.“ The shop owner repeats:“ O.k. you can have the fire extinguisher, but the radiator stays here.“ Greetings from NRW, love yor videos. Michael
When we find a cent (we still call it penny😆)on the ground, we spit on it and put it in our purse to be lucky for the rest of our lifes... 😍 Greetings from Germany!
My mom is German and my dad is Italian, so it makes me happy to see that the Italian coffee maker is now seen as something typically German! Thanks to the generations of Italian immigrants for bringing Italian food & lifestyle to Germany and merging the cultures!
I agree, that Italien made coffee tastes much better and the machine is easier to clean. But traditional German coffee machines also last forever if treated well. You can easily find 20 year old machines doing their job without any problem. Another advantage of German machine is that you can make one or twelve cups with the same machine and almost in the same amount of time. However, it is poor replacement if you ever tasted coffee in France or Italy. Even here the old protestant pragmatic, but not s joyful approach shines a bit through.
Where would Germany be without Italian immigrants? Imagine Germany without the many many Italian ice cream parlours, even the smallest towns having at least one Italian restaurant, good Italian coffee, ... Oof, that sounds boring! My brother learnt how to stand as a baby on the counter of my parents' favourite Italian restaurant, I don't think I'd like a Germany without Italians
@@LeyCarnifex I totally agree (though Italians are far from the only nationality I wouldn't want to miss). I even grew up within walking distance of an Italian ice cream parlour where a famously weird ice cream speciality was invented about 50 years ago. ruclips.net/video/NOm4if6-nXI/видео.html
@@frasselainen Actually it is really Italian to make coffee (what the Germans call espresso) and many Germans bring them back from Italy. And btw. the water goes into the bottom and not the top ;)
@@martinohnenamen6147 Once it was difficult to buy this in Germany and you needed to buy it as a souvenir in Italy. And what a mess to get a replacement rubber ring when it has melted down! Today, everyone has electric espresso machines.
Though "espresso" in this case is misleading. Real espresso uses like 7-15 bar of pressure, which is a lot (and requires some active regulation you don't get with the cheap machines). Those moka pots operate at more like 1.5 bar.
@@Ph34rNoB33r Yes, it is misleading because technically coffee from moka (or caffettiera, which is how we call that in Italy) is NOT espresso, is just regular coffee :D . "Espresso", in Italy was a term used for coffee brewed by the coffee machines in bars, which needed to be quick serving customers and could not afford to wait times needed for moka to brew (thus the name "Espresso", which translates something like "express" as in express train). Nowadays no one here makes any difference between a bar espresso or regular coffee, which is why if you ask for a coffee in Italy by default you get served an espresso.
Regarding the Grillkäse/grilled cheese: There are even a loooot of different types of Grillkäse not only Halloumi. e.g. Brie cheese or we put feta with herbs in a small foil pan...
One and two cent coins are typical German. "Wer den Pfennig nicht ehrt ist des Talers nicht wert" is a typical German saying. I wish we would phase them out like the Dutch people did. When your grocery bill in the Netherlands is between €21.48 and 21.52 you pay €21.50; when it is between 21.53 and 21.57 you pay €21.55. BTW: the production costs of those coins are actually higher than its value.
Hela curry ketchup is one of the things I get in my "care package" from Germany every few month, as I moved to Ireland over a decade ago. I can't live without it. The same with Luvat Mayonnaise, as that is the brand most German chippers (Pommesbuden) are using. It is amazing to have such a great mayo. And yes, the "care packages" are still ongoing after over 10 years.
@@weisthor0815 Soda bread is amazing, but the huge variations I am used to from Germany is not available in Ireland. I mainly buy a fresh baked „Country loaf“ at Lidl. It’s a kind German grey bread. It does do the trick as I am sure it could be from Germany anyway.
@@bjo_Ern wenn es vom lidl ist liegt die vermutung ja zumindest nahe ;-) aber danke für die info, hätte gedacht die iren hätte vielleicht auch gutes brot.
The espresso cooker is actually from Italy... Italian workers brought them to Germany... They exist in various sizes as well I love those things... Grew up with italian friends so I was used to them since childhood anyway :)
The coffee maker is actually an Italian espresso maker, but you are right, it makes great coffee ! And the grilled cheese you are referring to is more Greek. We have the German version : Gouda (Dutch) or Camembert (French) rolled in bread crumbs and fried served with Preiselbeeren .
@@AntoinetteEmily german bbq culture changed significant. 10-15 years ago it was only sausages and schnitzel. now i have ie a smoker for slow cooking and serve spareribs, pulled pork, bacon bombs and so on.^^ slow cooking with a smoker needs much time. ie 5 kg pulled pork needs 16 hours. i have to stand up deep in the night to replace the coal.^^ but its worth it!!!!!

Hi. The coffee brewer comes from Italy! They are very popular in Europe these days, but came to Germany with Italian workers. However, in Poland we also had them in the 80s.
Confession: I am almost 60 years old and have never ever bought curry ketchup. Neither my family or friends. Should we actually want our ketchup with curry, we would buy the regular ketchup and mix it ourselves with currypowder. Why pay more for this kind of ketchup, that I would only eat like 3-4 times a year and have it take up space in my fridge, when I can make it myself. The "coffee brewer" is actually an Italian espresso maker and used for making espresso and/or mokka. It is widely used in many mediterranean countries for mokka. I like the 1 and 2 cent coins. Just imagine you wouldn't have them, it would mean that all prices that now not end in 5 or 0 would automatically be upped (because nobody is making anything cheaper), meaning that everything that ends in 7 or 9 (most popular prices in Germany next to 5) would be 1 cent or 3 cents more expensive. Say you buy 100 items (just food) per week in the case of something ending in 9 you pay 1 more cent x 100 = Eur 1 or if you take everything ending in 7, you pay 3 more cents x 100 = Eur 3 so with 52 weeks in a year you pay somewhere between EUR 52 - EUR 156 MORE! Sounds stupid, but is actually a lot of money.
Ja, auf Curry Ketchup kann ich auch gerne verzichten. Auf Currywurst ebenso. Wenn ich überhaupt mal meine, eine Wurst essen zu müssen, dann lieber eine Weißwurst mit süßem Senf oder eine Thüringer Bratwurst. Geschmäcker sind halt verschieden und oft regional bedingt.
First thing to do when the heating period starts, ist grabbing your trusty german Kärcher and clean the radiators thoroughly, to get rid of the dust collected during summer. Then they don’t smell :)
@@sakurakay Nein? Ich habe den sc4. Man setzt einfach das Handstück auf und pustet mit Dampf alles raus in den Zwischenräumen der Flachheizkörper, nach unten. Erstaunlich, was sich da während der warmen Jahreszeit alles so ansammelt. Geht ruckzuck, allerdings muss ich danach mit dem Staubsauger nachgehen, weil der Staub fliegt. Mache ich immer so und ist am einfachsten. Die Heizkörper werden damit innerhalb von Minuten außen und innen blitzblank. Ich habe sonst nichts womit ich in die Zwischenräume so gut reinkommen würde. Ich mache das immer so, und kenne auch viele, die das genauso machen.
@@sakurakay hahaha, ja, jetzt verstehe ich deine Frage… dieses Gerät ist ein Dampfreiniger für alles mögliche im Haushalt und recht praktisch. Kärcher hat in dem Bereich ein paar geniale Geräte, und die halten ja ewig, und dieses hat eben viele Anwendungsbereiche. Kärcher macht nicht nur Hochdruckreiniger, und für den hätte ich drinnen ja auch keine Verwendung, da kommt doch auch eine Menge Wasser raus, oder?
Ja, das hatte ich jetzt auch verstanden :D dass Kärcher verschiedene Geräte macht, ist mir bewusst. "Kärchern" ist halt nur das weit verbreitete Synonym für Hochdruckreiniger. Also wie Zewa für Küchenpapier 😉 und jap, da kommt ein harter Wasserstrahl raus. Deshalb war ich so verwundert
German here without Curry Ketchup at home (although I actually like it): When the Ecu turned into the Euro back in 1999/2002, and the coinage was designed, many Eurozone member states proposed to have 5 cents as the smallest coin. But Germany insisted on the 1- and 2-cent coins, because apparently, Germans love the -and-ninety-nine-cents-prices, and they insist on exact change.
Here in the U.K. radiators are the most common type of heating, usually run from a gas boiler, sometimes oil in remoter areas where they don’t have mains gas. Good for drying Laundry and warming towels on.
Regarding the copper coins: In Germany there is a saying „Wer dennPfennig nicht ehrt, ist den Taler nicht wert“ (a person who doesn’t value a penny isn’t worthy to own a dollar). And actually it is quite surprising how much they add up. I usually collect them in a jar, sometimes also 10s and 20s if I have too much change. After about two to three month it’s easily 40 to 60€.
The saying in the UK is "mind the pennies, and the pounds will take care of themselves". None of these things are exclusively German, btw. Coppers, radiators, halloumi cheese, coffee/espresso percolators, are all standard in UK and pretty much all of Europe...I'll grant you there is an issue here with Ketchup though. Some of the "Gewürzketchup" is lovely, some is rank. 21 years here and I'm still not mad about the curry/ketchup combo.
@@thorz7304 I don't have too much money, so I'm used to buy what's on sale and keep track of my finances. I, for one, like to know exactly what I'll be paying. Keeping track of finances is a good way to make do with what you have. Besides, it's one of our quirks as Germans... Paying the exact amount.
@@thorz7304 Dann würde vermutlich vieles zB 9,95 statt 9.99 kosten, und zum Ausgleich diverse andere Sachen 11.45 oder 11.95 statt 10.99 (wenn dort der Betrag sowieso schon zweistellig ist). Das Problem mit scheinbar nidrigeren Preisen (weil der Betrag vor dem Komma niedriger ist) würde wohl weiter bestehen, aber dann eben "5 Cent vor der runden Summe" statt 1 Cent. Und was ist mit billigen Sachen, zB Brötchen für 14 oder 18 oder 22 Cent? Da gibt es dann Preiserhöhungen von 10% oder mehr, und alle kleinen Unterschiede zwischen zB 16 und 20 werden "glattgebügelt" ... Sinnvoll wäre es meiner Meinung nach, wenn man ganz auf diese Tricks verzichten und nur noch runde Summen (9, 10, 10.50) benutzen würde, oder sogar zB bei einem Auto 28000 statt 27995 oder 27850 (zu denen dann sowieso noch viele kleine Nebenkosten dazukommen). Aber gesetzlich kann man das nicht vorschreiben, und die Marketingabteilungen finden immer wieder neue Tricks (vielleicht sowas wie Preisschild 9.99 und an der Kasse wird aufgerundet wenn man es nicht passend hat, oder man kauft 5 Stück für passende 49.95). ps: Wenn sich bargeldlose Zahlung (in Deutschland mit Debitkarten und nicht mit Kreditkarten) immer mehr verbreitet, ist das sowieso nicht mehr so wichtig und wir brauchen weniger kleine Münzen. Dann ist nur noch die Werbung mit diesen krummen Preisen lästig.
@@Anson_AKB Dinge würden nur Teurer werden, 1 cent weniger im Verkauf ist für ein Unternehmen was hohe Stückzahlen verkauft tausende Euro , denn bereit 100 Stück ergeben 1 Euro weniger
It is an old german tradition to save up this copper coins and use them to pay for your bridal shoes. This is for good luck and showing that you will be a good and frugal wife.
Oh 😶, so I failed epically 🙈. My husband payed for our shoes... But I will always take his change and pay with it in shops (that was before the pandemic, though).
I heard of that tradition only once before in my life and I actually never saw anybody do that. I mean those shoes have to be really cheap or the shop owner is probably going to throw anybody out who pays with only red coins. I was working in a shop and there is nothing more annoying than people trying to get rid of their small money... meanwhile the line is getting longer and longer...
@@teklam.3524 No, this is true. I saved those copper coins in a really huge liquor bottle and my girlfriends did the same. And I know for sure, that in Germany in the 1980s and 1990s bridal shops took them. The one I know sent one of his employees to the nearest bank with a coin machine. The use of a coin machine was free these days. And the shoes weren't cheap...
I (*1983) grew up knowing about the tradition and started saving up coins from my mid-teens onwards. In my early 30s I realized that I (probably) would not be getting married (and even if so would not want to annoy cashiers/other customers with the bulk of 1 ct. coins), so I gave up my "collection", also because speculations spiked up that "small money" is going to be abolished soon a few years back (just like in the Netherlands). Fast forward to today: coins are still around (and I am still unmarried 😆)
Metal radiators have two major advantages to air vent heating. First they have a lot of mass. Once that mass is heated up (which can take a little while) it tends to retain that heat for quite some time before cooling off again. That is essential for a consistent heat radiating off them which provides for a good, well rounded average warmth instead of spurts of heat being injected via an air vent. Second, metal and the water carrying the heat is a much better conductor for heat than air is. So the heated water coming from either a central gas or oil burner, maybe even a large thermal panel water storage can be much much hotter than air which allows the large mass of the radiator to heat up nearly as quickly as with an air vent. The water pipes also don't need to have the same cross section area making them much smaller in size than air vents. Much smaller in size means for the same volume an air vent takes up they can be insulated much much better than any air vent ever could be. That makes the water pipes MUCH more efficient and less prone to heat loss. Yeah, agreed, the metal radiators are not pretty but like you said, after a while you simply ignore them.
I’ve studied in New Zealand 18 years ago or so and the lack of heating was such a shock to me. Obviously there were hardly any brick houses, you had all those thin wooden walls without much insulation going on, large single glass windows that’ll just let the cold through too and then all you had were those little electric radiators you’d plug in. It was cold. Probably also didn’t help that I went from the hottest summer on record in 2003 straight into a New Zealand snowstorm in the south most top of the southern island in Otago. Back then you still had 5 cent coins, but I liked the fact that you didn’t have to deal with smaller coins. And just like you never saw curry ketchup, I never saw what Kiwis call Tomato Sauce. It’s almost like ketchup, but not quite. Also took a bit getting used to, but I liked it in the end. And something I hadn’t seen before were the meat pies. I became a massive fan. I had at least one pie per day. Definitely something I miss. I later also lived in the UK for two years where they also have pies, but they’re different still. They’re larger and more elaborate than their Australian/New Zealand counterparts but I didn’t enjoy them nearly as much. Don’t know what it was. Plus, it wasn’t as much of a staple as in New Zealand. It was to Kiwis what Curry Wurst is to Germans. Speaking of which, I once had a curry meat pie there…absolutely brilliant.
Yes, in Australia Ketchup was called tomato sauce. The old houses in Perth, WA, were made of "double brick" and had a fireplace in every room, which were not really of great use when it got cold in "winter". My family's "new" house was "single" brick, but it still had a fireplace in all rooms. British tradition, probably. We rarely lit the fire in the fireplace but used a kerosine oven to warm up the rooms. Oh, the meat pies were great at the school canteen. I've only been to the UK twice (I prefer spending my holidays in France, Spain or Italy), I tried some meat pies there, but they weren't as tasty as those in Australia. The same goes for the fish and chips, which were ever so greasy, no matter where I tried them.
LOL, Radiators are not unique to Germany and can be found in homes all over Europe.and Russia. They are the standard heating source and date back to around 1850. I'm surprised that you didn't notice them in movies based in Europe before you came to Germany. I agree with you on the 1 and 2 cent coins, I'd also add the 5 cent as well. They're annoying.
My brother-in-law in Hamburg has underfloor heating. Very comfortable, especially in the bathroom in the morning when you're standing at the sink to shave!
@@FiveOClockTea And I never said that she said they were unique to Germany!! I was just pointing out , for anyone else who lives in a country that does not have radiators, that they are pretty much a standard heating system throughout Europe and have been for nearly 200 years. Of course they were new to her when she moved to Germany and that's why she mentioned them in her video.
@@SuperLittleTyke We also have under floor heating in our home ( in Germany) but I do miss Radiators. As Antoinette says they are great for drying clothes and give instant heat when you turn them on...unlike under floor heating which is a pain to regulate, but yes nice in the bathroom :)
I hope I misheard, but you put water in the bottom part of the coffee maker, then put a funnel over it in which you place the ground coffee, then there is a sieve and then the water pushes THROUGH the ground coffee to the top part which is empty to begin with
I am a german expat living in Italy. I'm afraid, over the years I became more and more an Italian. We do not use this coffee brewer anymore, we bought a real Espresso machine.
6:35 Das ist aus der Türkentrunk-Zeit, wo man "Caffée" noch nicht so in D kannte. Die Länder am Mittelmeer benutzten "offnes Feuer", dort stellte man die Kanne rein (was natürlich auch auf dem deutschen Gasherd wunderbar klappte), füllte sie mit Wasser und Kaffeemehl und machte sie heiß. Erst in der Tasse sank das Kaffeemehl ab, man trank nur den reinen Kaffee und nie aus. Dazu gab es immer ein kleines Glas Wasser. Falls du mal bei einem Türken zu Besuch oder in einem türkischen Laden bist, dort bekommst du noch 2021 so deinen Kaffee serviert. Die arabischen Länder benutzten schon einen "Apparat", der schon eher einer Kaffeemaschine ähnelt.
5:53 Bei uns in der Familie kam früher nur Fleisch und Fisch auf den Grill. Grillkäse kannte ich als Kind auch nicht. Das hat sich IMHO über das "grillen" an sich in den späten 1990ern in D verbreitet. Es gibt auch speziellen "Ofenkäse" aus Frankreich, welcher oben vor dem Verzehr geöffnet wird. Wahrscheinlich kommt dieser Brauch aus dem Mittelmeer-Bereich, wo man auch Gemüse auf den Grill legt.
I would have expected to find egg cups (Eierbecher) on the list...at least I myself was very suprised to find exactly one egg holder in the various homes I used to live in, while travelling through New Zealand for allmost a year
For people working in a grocery store or something like that one cent coins are necessary for being able to work because the prizes in Germany are always like 4,99€, 3,99€, 0.99€ so most of the costomers are always giving 5,00€, 4,00€ or 1,00€ to the shop workers and then the shop workers have to give a one cent coin back to them.
@@Bennime_Once that might work for reducing 9.99 to 9.90, but most other prices probably will be raised, eg from 4.99 to 5.40 or 5.90, and for costly items like a car it wouldn't help to reduce 27999.99 to 27999.90, but they should be honest and ask for 28k straight (i once saw a new car for something like "42768.98 plus delivery", why not "43k total"?). The problem are not those x.99 amounts to pay if they would be justified, but that for marketing (x-1).99 sounds a lot cheaper than x, and we would have the same problem again with (x-1).95 or (x-1).90, or maybe next year have x.90 or (x+1).90 anyway. ps: even if such a car costs 43k straight and now MWSt/VAT changes eg from 16% to 19%, what should be the new price if they don't want to change the original price "at the factory"? 44112.07? or still 43k, or 44k or 44.5k or 45k ? and the same applies to most cheaper items too, where 1 Cent is more than 0.1% or even 1% of the price ... or should europe start doing as the usa do, pricing something at 9.90 and adding taxes later, maybe even rounding up to the nearest 10 Cent?
the heating radiator and also the coffee kettle are very common in Spain too! my house since it has no gas system it has a different heating which is an electric plate in the wall and it's really thin, we call it Italian or Moka coffee pot here. Greetings from Barcelona :)
Hi Antoinette! The espresso machine you show is a traditional one originally from France or Italy. And I really enjoy your videos, and this one is no exception, but as far as I know, it actually works a bit different from what you described: you definitely have to put the water in the bottom part of the machine and the ground coffee in the middle part (sieve) - and when the water in the bottom part has been brought to a boil, the steam rises and passes through the coffee powder in the sieve in the middle - to finally end up as brewed coffee in the upper part of the machine! Just in case anyone not yet familiar with this kind of old style espresso machine wants to give it a try!😜
Die Kaffeemaschine heißt in Italien "Cafetteria" und in Spanien "Cafetera". In den Ländern ist es im alltäglichen Gebrauch. Der Kaffee ist geschmacksreicher und auch magenverträglicher als Filterkaffee. Ich bereite meinen Kaffee seit 19 Jahren damit. Viele Grüße aus Spanien!
In general you can say: Germans brought a lot of things back home from theire holidays in europe. Like the italian coffe maker. And for some things ( like Ketchup) we saw them and said:“ That is an awesome product, but we can make it netter (better )for our pallat.“(Curry Ketchup)
The 1&2 cent coins are traditional...people used to save the 1 cent change to eventually pay for a woman's shoes for her wedding. Some people still do it, but they get an appointment at the bank to count and, well, digitise their 1 cent coins before buying shoes. Almost nobody shows up with a bag full of 1 cent coins at a bridal fashion store anymore (you'll be considered weird if you do, but occasionally it still happens). People don't really save them anymore but 1 cent coins are still thought to bring good luck, especially if you find one, similar to 4 leaf clover. Some people bring a lucky cent they found when they have an exam. So...I don't think they'll go away.
As far as the coins are concerned, they are euro cents, which are used in every country of the European Union, including Germany. Curry Wurst, with heavy Ketchup and curry is more popular in Berlin.
Yeah, I remember the "Heiße Kiste" in Berlin, Neukölln, where they sold Curry Wurst. Having to pass by, it always smelled horrible. So I am not so keen on that stuff.
It is actually an Italian espresso brewer. You use beans differently roasted. While filtercoffee is mildly roasted, espresso coffee uses more strongly roasted beans typically of the arabica type.
I lived in Germany for 12 years and never tasted, or even saw, Grillkäse. Perhaps it's a South German thing. As for the cents, NO! Don't get rid of them! In Britain we have a one penny coin as well as two pence, five pence etc. Sure, they weigh your pocket down, but you can feed small denominations into the self-serve checkout in the supermarket. The small coins are invaluable for market traders who want to compete with the other stallholders on price. Finally, heating in New Zealand: is it perhaps so warm all year round that you don't need much heating? I know NZ has hot springs. That must be amazing to get free heating!
NZ is cold especially in the winters. Plus the windows are thin and made of what feels like paper. People usually get electric heaters for their rooms to warm them up, leading to crazy power bills. I've even seen places where they use bed sheets that you can plug into the wall. Those things are dangerous, too. PS Grillkäse is not (only) a Southern Germany thing.
Radiator and the resource used for heating always depends on budget, a radiator is cheaper than ground heating "coils", Gas Heater is cheaper than an oil heater. Gas is usually delivered via piping that is already present, Oil has to be delivered and stored in tanks, then you got pellets, which is pressed recycled wood and stuff, also delivery, Liquid Gas, also delivery and quite expansive as well, but the heat pumps take the cake in terms of price, they also don't deliver 100% of the heat needed to warm a house, but they potentially make you independent from any delivery of resources. Barely anyone heats with wood nowadays since it is mostly considered a luxury but it is still an option some have as an extra since the heat from burning wood is more pleasant. Yep, they are useful, if you go shopping and have to pay odd numbers like 20,03€ they will be handy if my wallet becomes too big I just collect them all and every couple of months I bring them to the bank, they have a counting machine that transfers it directly to the bank account. And so, nothing is lost. I at some point didn't do that, so I decided to collect all the 1,2,5 and 10 cent pieces I had lying around and surprise surprise, more like get shocked, it totalled almost 50€. The Cents in Germany always have a use, we are after all cash lovers "Nur bares ist wahres". This might come down to our general distrust of banks and the financial watchdogs in Germany, the Finanzamt, they can't tax Cash HA!
There are these coin counters in the bank and I always collect my 1 2 and 5 cent coins in a little bag. When i throw a full bag into that counter it's always crazy how much money it actually was.
1. With the heating it is enough if you set it to 2! A tip when you turn on the heating in the room, there are filling vessels especially for the radiators where you can fill them with water. They are there so that the room humidity remains normal when heating, i.e. a feeling of well-being in the room air, otherwise if you do not do that, the air is too dry. 2. Tip: At ALDI there is now "Currywurst Sauce" in the glass, as delicious as at the Currywurst stand.
I'm Austrian but we face the same issue with the coins. I personally have a huge box for 1-10/20c coins and when it's full I bring it to the coin counting machine in the bank. Always gets me around 60-80€ when it's full haha
As a kiwi, it seems odd that some of these things were new to you because they aren't that unusual even in NZ. The curry ketchup I can understand because although you can get it in NZ, most people never notice it in any store, and physically holding 1 and 2 cent pieces if you're young. Radiator heating was how every school was heated. I myself had a Moka pot in NZ and grilled Holloumi cheese is a reasonably global thing.
Your Video Remonds me of my year living in England wehre they pour Vintage on their chips, eat mint sauce, put milk in the cup before they add the tea, stand up in the theatre or cinema when the national anthem is played and drive on the „wrong „ side of the road😂 Love Brigitte
Yeah, at the pictures in Australia there was always the queen mounted on a horse acompanied by the national anthem at the beginning of a film and everyone stood up - even as an 8-year-old, I never did so because I couldn't see any sense in it. Even at the monday morning assemblies at school, the British and the Australian flags were raised and we had to sing "god save the queen" - most of my friends though prefered to sing "god shave the queen". The Australien national anthem in my childhood was nice though, as it didn't glorify any kind of royal but refered to the beauty of the country: "There is a land where summer skies are gleaming with a thousand eyes ..." Putting vinegar on chips is really strange. I've noticed British tourists in France doing that at restaurants. My French friends and I always had a good laugh about all that ignorance related to good tasty food ist about. And in Australia they drive in the wrong side of the road as well, but I got my driver's licence after having returned to Germany.
As some people have already said, the coffee pot is a Bialetti Moka Pot. I just looked it up the other day because I thought it made coffee but my husband said it makes espresso. We use ours for camping and a regular espresso machine at home, but I purchased another Bialetti style pot for at home because they’re so convenient!
These radiators ARE actually a heat pump system - the central heating burner heats up water which flows through the pipes - when through the radiator when you open the valves.
The Italian espresso maker has a small disadvantage.. the coffee and water mixture goes to the boiling point temperature of +100°C and that causes to dissolve some substances from the coffeebeans into the coffee brew that are not the healthiest ones and cause higher cholesterol levels in your blood. Therefore filter coffee is more healthy, the max temperature of the water that comes in contact with the coffee in a coffee filtermachine is some 85°C and that is just not enough to dissolve those substances. When you have no cholesterol problem and like the coffee, just keep on drinking it. :-)
By the way: The english word Ketchup is borrowed from Indonesian/Malaysian Ketchap (kĕchap) kechap manis a spiced soja sauce used in Indonesian/Malaysian kitchen! I agree about phasing out the 1, 2 and 5 Cent coins! At many supermarkets you can tell the cashier: "Aufrunden Bitte" then they will count up to the next full amount, no 1, 2 or 5 Cent coins then and the amount will go to charity!
Make sure to buy the curry ketchup with the green top. The red top one doesn't taste as good since it is curry and spicy mix, the green one is sweet curry which is waaaaay more popular.
The 1-5 cent is not needed only by retailers because many products are sold with 1. 99 cents or 1. 95 - 99- 75-69 cents. That’s why you don’t have a round number at the checkout
The interesting thing about curry is, that it come via/by the british from india. And it is not a single spice but a mix. The basic component is Kurkuma, wich is a bit similar to Ginger.. (both are roots)
About the small coins: I agree that they are annoying, but we still need them, because according to German law, each money debt is by default a cash debt, so while the parties of a deal can agree on paying per EC-card, bank transfer or credit card and many shops do generally accept at least some of those means of paying, they can not deny a customer to pay cash (and since people have grown rather more concerned about data protection than less, I doubt that this fundamental principle will change anytime soon). Unfortunately, it is a very common advertising technique in retail to have x.99 prices, because a price display of 9.99 € just looks much cheaper than 10.00 €, even though there is hardly any difference. Thus as long as we don't have a law that forces retail to get rid of those .99 prices and round to at least 5 cent (which some countries have actually done to get rid of the small coin), we'll still need the one and two cent coins to pay cash.
I remember those heaters at my school when I was a teen. We would hug them during winter especially as we lived near a mountain. Also our hospital here in new Plymouth has them too! They are here, just not as common and more old school. omg my partner would love the curried ketchup! YUM that grilled cheese. sounds good!
I throw a lot of my copper coins in the street. I once read that finding a coin, even a small one, puts people in a good mood. And it can make a child happy. Or I put them in the donation box at my local Asian market, they're Bangladeshis and collect for the people at home.
Das machst du hier in Deutschland? Klingt alles sehr systemfeindlich hahaha no offense but throwing them in the street or give them to people who aim at melting them down? That doesn’t sound too nice since you either have coins all over the street or new coins have to be produced cause you export them, idk js
I have seen people eating Halloumi/Grillkäse less than 10 times my whole life and I am now 46 years old and never left Germany except for vacations.The coffemaker I have not seen someone use during the last 10-15 years (at least) even though my parents have one (because my dad was Italian and brought it with him).
The Bialetti is a Mokka - Maker -- it cannot make more then 1,5 bar of water pressure. So it makes a good coffee but not an Espresso. For an Expresso you need a minimum over 9 bar , so that the crema and all the aroma is transported in the water. We have several Bialettis at home as it is easier to use and easy to clean.
I normally don't collect more than 10 cents worth in 1 and 2 cent coins, and I either use them to pay the next odd amount I come across, or I use them instead of a 10 cent coin with my next payment. No problem at all.
07:35 One thing i really like about those is that they don´t care where the heat is coming from. You don´t got no 240V outlet for em? They don´t judge. So yeah i absolutely throw one in my backpack and make hot water with a camp fire. Yes, i do get grade A coffee while i´m camping. When it comes to my coffee, i´m extra.
Correction: Well for an "Espresso" = "type of coffee" invented in Italy you need the water vapor pressure of 9 bar ("bar" is the unit to measure pressure) which is a high pressure and therefore is coffee made with that methode with an actual "Espresso machine" done very quickly with the use of way less coffee powder and way less water but you have still a strong coffee aroma and therefore named with the italian term "Espresso" for that type of coffee actually just meaning "express" = it is actually a "light digestable coffee" because of the less amount of used coffee powder but with strong aroma. That particular coffee cooker is able to deliver just 2 till 2,5 bar of water vapor pressure therefore way more water is needed and more coffee powder therefore it is simply not possible to make an "Espresso" (= type of coffee) ...just for the record. The type of coffee which is made with that particular coffee cooker is actually a "Mocha/Mocca/Moka" which is actually "the classic/original/old style" coffee = it is actually a "bit heavier disgestable coffee" because of the higher amount of used coffee powder in comparision to an "Espresso coffee" Unfortunately those type of coffee cookers are often "labeled" as "Espresso cooker" because it is also an italian invention but that labeling "Espresso cooker" is actually totally misleading because here the italian term "espresso/express" is not refering to the "type of coffee" but refering to the fact that a Mocha/Mocca/Moka is done "quick with less effort" with that particular coffee cooker than making Mocha/Mocca/Moka" in the traditional/old style way ...just for the record.
@@NicolaiCzempin Do you know italian? Can you speak, read and write italian? I do...and you clearly don´t. So why do you think you can lesson me in a language you clearly don´t know in the slightest? I consider that as "just being stupid", Sorry to say that, but it is the bare nacked truth about people who are lessoning other people in a language they by themselves clearly don´t know. Guess what..it means both.. "pressed out" + "express" Do you know the italian word for "express letter" and "express package"? Guess what... it is "espresso lettera" and "espresso pacco"...and those aren´t "pressed out" but delivered "quickly/express" Do you know the italian word for "Express train/fast stopping train"? Guess what.. it is "Espresso treno" and that train isn´t "pressed out" but "just fast". And in my very first sentence of my previous comment I already pointed out that an "Espresso" coffee needs 9 bar vapor pressure power in order to be an "Espresso"...which shows clearly that I already know the meaning of "pressed out". BUT additionally I already explained why those coffee cookers which are not able to make "Espresso coffee" because of lack of pressure power are also called/labeled/named "Espresso cooker"... because they are making "Mocha" quickly ..and here the meaning of "Espresso" = "express" .. Did you even read my comment till to the end before you felt the need to reply? I don´t think so....or....if you did then you simply didn´t understand the content in the slightest... ...because the whole content was soley about that "double meaning" of the italian word "Espresso" where then people - because of not knowing the italian language - falsely think they are making an "Espresso coffee" with that coffee cooker because of the "Label" "Espresso cooker" although they are just making "Mocha" but therefore "quickly/express"...I explained it already in detail in my previous comment. Maybe you should read it again with an english dictionary in order to understand....because it seems now your english is also not that good as well, because the content of my previous comment was "crystal clear" for those who are able to understand english..but because of your - stupid reply - I now have to presume your english is not good enough to understand.
The odd thing about the Italian coffee maker is that people apparently cannot agree what to call it. It is often called an "Espresso" maker, and I recently even saw a similar pot labeled as such on the box in a store. Any coffee aficionado will tell you this does NOT make Espresso, which is brewed under several atmospheres of pressure. Some people then call it Moka pot, which I believe was the trade name under which it was originally sold in Italy, but the coffee it brews is not a Turkish "Mokka" either. It is probably best to call it "Italian coffee maker". It is quite popular in Germany, but I would say the most "German" coffee is still pour over coffee filtered through a Melitta paper filter ;-)
35 years ago, when I was living in Hamburg, i couldn't find regular catsup, only curry catsup. If you stopped at an Imbiss, your sauce choices for fries were primarily curry catsup or mayonnaise. I never missed regular catsup, since both were delicious to me!

Well, I do love curry ketchup, but I do not have at it home. I think the smell you like in regard to the radiators is the smell of burning dust, correct me if I am wrong. Thanks for the great video!
Hi, Antoinette, I only wanted to suppose a little bit Victoria Lo, who instructed you about the very Italian origin of the little coffeemaker. Indeed in Italy it is an absolute every day tool, that was adopted by the Germans. Like the cheese to be fried from Cyprus. Geemans are in eternal love with the mediterranean regions they spend their holidays in and so many typical Italian, Greek or Spanish food changed in "typical German"
In The Netherlands we skipped using the 1 and 2 cent coins. Prices are still set as, for example, 0,99 or 1,02 euro, but when paying it is rounded up or down to 1,00 euro. So you lose some or you gain some, but in the end it balances.
I always try to pay the correct price, if I have coins, so they never really accumulate. if somethings costs 98 cents I pay 98 cents, "passend", or I use the coins for coffee machines or vending machines, that often only use coins. I try to pay with small coins first before I look for the larger ones. But I also had to get used to doing this. I remeber a time, where I always emptied out my wallet and had a whole jar full of small coins at the end of the month/year. Now I established a habbit of using them and they never accumulate anymore. Thank you for your videos !!!
Currywurst oder Curry Ketchup ist hier in Bayern auch nicht angesagt. Aber ich kaufe mir immer am Christkindlesmarkt eine Thüringer Bratwurst - wegen Corona letztes Weihnachten musste dieser Genuss leider ausfallen. Normalerweise esse ich aber überhaupt keine Wurst.
#4 is a moka pot or a Bialetti (named for the Italian guy who invented this design). My bf (who is German) said when he lived in Italy his Italian friends always seasoned their new moka pots a few times by brewing coffee in them to get a dark residue in the inside and eliminate any metallic taste from aluminum models. It’s a running joke that depending on how many coffees you brew in a new moka pot before drinking one from it, proves how serious a coffee drinker you are! Italians are very intense about their coffee drinking rituals! 😅😂
Apart from the curry, you might have been in UK. The coffee pot is called a moka pot in English. They are not so popular now, since espresso machines got cheaper. In the 80's I heard it was illegal to hoard German coppers , as they were worth more as scap metal. Maybe just an urban myth.
In Canada we got rid of the one cent coin, the lowest coin is the nickel (5cents), but when paying with debit or credit card you still get billed with cents. When paying cash it gets rounded up or down to the nearest nickel .
Love halloumi cheese. It’s also very common over the ditch in Australia thanks to a very large Cypriot and Greek community. A decent bbq isn’t throwing shrimp on the barbie, we’re throwing lamb and halloumi.
Isn't it nice, how international we are? This kind of Radiators are German but it was a Russian German, who has developped them. Ketchup origanally came from China Hallomy is from Cyprus and a protected name. The Espresso machine is a Italian invention. And the cent is a european currancy. The Germans had the Pfennig. And all together is considered as German by somebody from New Zealand. What a wonderful world we live in. Have a nice day.
I remember the time buying a piece of candy for just one Pfennig - 100 Pfennige were 1 Deutsche Mark and 1,95583 DM is 1 Euro. Nowadays if you buy something it regulary costs e. g. 99 Cents or some euro and 99 Cents so if you use cash you still need 1 Eurocent coins in germany. Before sweden and other countries decided to use almost no cash I was there and there was a sign about rounding to (if i remember correct) next ten swedish krones (skr) so if you bought more you got it a bit cheaper or the other side around if you bought only one of a kind it was more expensive.
So I have a joke. A nearsighted man comes into a musician store and says:“ I would like to buy the red trumpet and the white accordion.“ The shop owner repeats:“ O.k. you can have the fire extinguisher, but the radiator stays here.“

My mom is German and my dad is Italian, so it makes me happy to see that the Italian coffee maker is now seen as something typically German! Thanks to the generations of Italian immigrants for bringing Italian food & lifestyle to Germany and merging the cultures!
I agree, that Italien made coffee tastes much better and the machine is easier to clean. But traditional German coffee machines also last forever if treated well. You can easily find 20 year old machines doing their job without any problem. Another advantage of German machine is that you can make one or twelve cups with the same machine and almost in the same amount of time. However, it is poor replacement if you ever tasted coffee in France or Italy. Even here the old protestant pragmatic, but not s joyful approach shines a bit through.
In Germany we still know this is typically Italian. But yes, they are quite common here, especially in younger households.
@@johaquila Absolutely! For Antoinette to have featured them in this video she must have seen them in a number of households
Where would Germany be without Italian immigrants?

From the UK I sympathise. They have been my favourite for 30 years at least.
It's a coffee maker indeed. And Italians don't cry about it. Their knew it.
In the Netherlands the 1 and 2 cent coins are phased out too... Every price is rounded off at 5 cents.
The coffée-maker we call it an italian coffee or espresso machine. We have one, we usually use it on camping, because you can put it on a gaz boiler.
Though "espresso" in this case is misleading. Real espresso uses like 7-15 bar of pressure, which is a lot (and requires some active regulation you don't get with the cheap machines).
Those moka pots operate at more like 1.5 bar.
@@Ph34rNoB33r Yes, it is misleading because technically coffee from moka (or caffettiera, which is how we call that in Italy) is NOT espresso, is just regular coffee :D . "Espresso", in Italy was a term used for coffee brewed by the coffee machines in bars, which needed to be quick serving customers and could not afford to wait times needed for moka to brew (thus the name "Espresso", which translates something like "express" as in express train). Nowadays no one here makes any difference between a bar espresso or regular coffee, which is why if you ask for a coffee in Italy by default you get served an espresso.
Regarding the Grillkäse/grilled cheese: There are even a loooot of different types of Grillkäse not only Halloumi. e.g. Brie cheese or we put feta with herbs in a small foil pan...

One and two cent coins are typical German. "Wer den Pfennig nicht ehrt ist des Talers nicht wert" is a typical German saying. I wish we would phase them out like the Dutch people did. When your grocery bill in the Netherlands is between €21.48 and 21.52 you pay €21.50; when it is between 21.53 and 21.57 you pay €21.55. BTW: the production costs of those coins are actually higher than its value.
Hela curry ketchup is one of the things I get in my "care package" from Germany every few month, as I moved to Ireland over a decade ago. I can't live without it.

Hi.
The coffee brewer comes from Italy! They are very popular in Europe these days, but came to Germany with Italian workers.
However, in Poland we also had them in the 80s.
Confession: I am almost 60 years old and have never ever bought curry ketchup. Neither my family or friends. Should we actually want our ketchup with curry, we would buy the regular ketchup and mix it ourselves with currypowder. Why pay more for this kind of ketchup, that I would only eat like 3-4 times a year and have it take up space in my fridge, when I can make it myself.
The "coffee brewer" is actually an Italian espresso maker and used for making espresso and/or mokka. It is widely used in many mediterranean countries for mokka.
I like the 1 and 2 cent coins. Just imagine you wouldn't have them, it would mean that all prices that now not end in 5 or 0 would automatically be upped (because nobody is making anything cheaper), meaning that everything that ends in 7 or 9 (most popular prices in Germany next to 5) would be 1 cent or 3 cents more expensive. Say you buy 100 items (just food) per week in the case of something ending in 9 you pay 1 more cent x 100 = Eur 1 or if you take everything ending in 7, you pay 3 more cents x 100 = Eur 3 so with 52 weeks in a year you pay somewhere between EUR 52 - EUR 156 MORE!
Sounds stupid, but is actually a lot of money.
Ja, auf Curry Ketchup kann ich auch gerne verzichten. Auf Currywurst ebenso. Wenn ich überhaupt mal meine, eine Wurst essen zu müssen, dann lieber eine Weißwurst mit süßem Senf oder eine Thüringer Bratwurst. Geschmäcker sind halt verschieden und oft regional bedingt.

German here without Curry Ketchup at home (although I actually like it): When the Ecu turned into the Euro back in 1999/2002, and the coinage was designed, many Eurozone member states proposed to have 5 cents as the smallest coin. But Germany insisted on the 1- and 2-cent coins, because apparently, Germans love the -and-ninety-nine-cents-prices, and they insist on exact change.
Here in the U.K. radiators are the most common type of heating, usually run from a gas boiler, sometimes oil in remoter areas where they don’t have mains gas. Good for drying
Laundry and warming towels on.
Regarding the copper coins:
In Germany there is a saying „Wer dennPfennig nicht ehrt, ist den Taler nicht wert“ (a person who doesn’t value a penny isn’t worthy to own a dollar).
And actually it is quite surprising how much they add up. I usually collect them in a jar, sometimes also 10s and 20s if I have too much change. After about two to three month it’s easily 40 to 60€.
The saying in the UK is "mind the pennies, and the pounds will take care of themselves". None of these things are exclusively German, btw. Coppers, radiators, halloumi cheese, coffee/espresso percolators, are all standard in UK and pretty much all of Europe...I'll grant you there is an issue here with Ketchup though. Some of the "Gewürzketchup" is lovely, some is rank. 21 years here and I'm still not mad about the curry/ketchup combo.

The heaters are also horribly inefficient, especially if mounted under windows. That is why they are not built anymore into new homes.
We moved to the USA 11 years and I miss radiators. Hot air circulation is so wasteful - heating unoccupied rooms, etc.
It is an old german tradition to save up this copper coins and use them to pay for your bridal shoes. This is for good luck and showing that you will be a good and frugal wife.
I find them annoing too. When you pay cash you get them in shops all the time as change, because of the stupid prizes (e.g. 1,99 or 5,78 Euro).
Oh 😶, so I failed epically 🙈. My husband payed for our shoes...
But I will always take his change and pay with it in shops (that was before the pandemic, though).
I heard of that tradition only once before in my life and I actually never saw anybody do that. I mean those shoes have to be really cheap or the shop owner is probably going to throw anybody out who pays with only red coins. I was working in a shop and there is nothing more annoying than people trying to get rid of their small money... meanwhile the line is getting longer and longer...
@@teklam.3524 No, this is true. I saved those copper coins in a really huge liquor bottle and my girlfriends did the same. And I know for sure, that in Germany in the 1980s and 1990s bridal shops took them. The one I know sent one of his employees to the nearest bank with a coin machine. The use of a coin machine was free these days. And the shoes weren't cheap...
I (*1983) grew up knowing about the tradition and started saving up coins from my mid-teens onwards. In my early 30s I realized that I (probably) would not be getting married (and even if so would not want to annoy cashiers/other customers with the bulk of 1 ct. coins), so I gave up my "collection", also because speculations spiked up that "small money" is going to be abolished soon a few years back (just like in the Netherlands).
Fast forward to today: coins are still around (and I am still unmarried 😆)
Metal radiators have two major advantages to air vent heating.
First they have a lot of mass.
Once that mass is heated up (which can take a little while) it tends to retain that heat for quite some time before cooling off again. That is essential for a consistent heat radiating off them which provides for a good, well rounded average warmth instead of spurts of heat being injected via an air vent.
Second, metal and the water carrying the heat is a much better conductor for heat than air is. So the heated water coming from either a central gas or oil burner, maybe even a large thermal panel water storage can be much much hotter than air which allows the large mass of the radiator to heat up nearly as quickly as with an air vent. The water pipes also don't need to have the same cross section area making them much smaller in size than air vents. Much smaller in size means for the same volume an air vent takes up they can be insulated much much better than any air vent ever could be. That makes the water pipes MUCH more efficient and less prone to heat loss.
Yeah, agreed, the metal radiators are not pretty but like you said, after a while you simply ignore them.
I’ve studied in New Zealand 18 years ago or so and the lack of heating was such a shock to me. Obviously there were hardly any brick houses, you had all those thin wooden walls without much insulation going on, large single glass windows that’ll just let the cold through too and then all you had were those little electric radiators you’d plug in. It was cold. Probably also didn’t help that I went from the hottest summer on record in 2003 straight into a New Zealand snowstorm in the south most top of the southern island in Otago.
Back then you still had 5 cent coins, but I liked the fact that you didn’t have to deal with smaller coins.
And just like you never saw curry ketchup, I never saw what Kiwis call Tomato Sauce. It’s almost like ketchup, but not quite. Also took a bit getting used to, but I liked it in the end.
And something I hadn’t seen before were the meat pies. I became a massive fan. I had at least one pie per day. Definitely something I miss. I later also lived in the UK for two years where they also have pies, but they’re different still. They’re larger and more elaborate than their Australian/New Zealand counterparts but I didn’t enjoy them nearly as much. Don’t know what it was. Plus, it wasn’t as much of a staple as in New Zealand. It was to Kiwis what Curry Wurst is to Germans. Speaking of which, I once had a curry meat pie there…absolutely brilliant.
Yes, in Australia Ketchup was called tomato sauce. The old houses in Perth, WA, were made of "double brick" and had a fireplace in every room, which were not really of great use when it got cold in "winter". My family's "new" house was "single" brick, but it still had a fireplace in all rooms. British tradition, probably. We rarely lit the fire in the fireplace but used a kerosine oven to warm up the rooms.
Oh, the meat pies were great at the school canteen. I've only been to the UK twice (I prefer spending my holidays in France, Spain or Italy), I tried some meat pies there, but they weren't as tasty as those in Australia. The same goes for the fish and chips, which were ever so greasy, no matter where I tried them.
LOL, Radiators are not unique to Germany and can be found in homes all over Europe.and Russia. They are the standard heating source and date back to around 1850. I'm surprised that you didn't notice them in movies based in Europe before you came to Germany. I agree with you on the 1 and 2 cent coins, I'd also add the 5 cent as well. They're annoying.
My brother-in-law in Hamburg has underfloor heating. Very comfortable, especially in the bathroom in the morning when you're standing at the sink to shave!
She didn't say it's unique to Germany, just that she noticed these things in Germany and didn't know them in new Zealand:-)
@@FiveOClockTea And I never said that she said they were unique to Germany!! I was just pointing out , for anyone else who lives in a country that does not have radiators, that they are pretty much a standard heating system throughout Europe and have been for nearly 200 years. Of course they were new to her when she moved to Germany and that's why she mentioned them in her video.
@@SuperLittleTyke We also have under floor heating in our home ( in Germany) but I do miss Radiators. As Antoinette says they are great for drying clothes and give instant heat when you turn them on...unlike under floor heating which is a pain to regulate, but yes nice in the bathroom :)
It's very important to add the water in the bottom chamber of the moka pot first, then the filter basket with the coffee and then screw on the top. ;)
I hope I misheard, but you put water in the bottom part of the coffee maker, then put a funnel over it in which you place the ground coffee, then there is a sieve and then the water pushes THROUGH the ground coffee to the top part which is empty to begin with
I am a german expat living in Italy. I'm afraid, over the years I became more and more an Italian. We do not use this coffee brewer anymore, we bought a real Espresso machine.
6:35 Das ist aus der Türkentrunk-Zeit, wo man "Caffée" noch nicht so in D kannte.
Die Länder am Mittelmeer benutzten "offnes Feuer", dort stellte man die Kanne rein (was natürlich auch auf dem deutschen Gasherd wunderbar klappte), füllte sie mit Wasser und Kaffeemehl und machte sie heiß. Erst in der Tasse sank das Kaffeemehl ab, man trank nur den reinen Kaffee und nie aus. Dazu gab es immer ein kleines Glas Wasser.
Falls du mal bei einem Türken zu Besuch oder in einem türkischen Laden bist, dort bekommst du noch 2021 so deinen Kaffee serviert.
Die arabischen Länder benutzten schon einen "Apparat", der schon eher einer Kaffeemaschine ähnelt.
We have those sort of coffee boilers in the US too. (I think they are from Italy.) And that grilled cheese looks amazing
5:53 Bei uns in der Familie kam früher nur Fleisch und Fisch auf den Grill. Grillkäse kannte ich als Kind auch nicht. Das hat sich IMHO über das "grillen" an sich in den späten 1990ern in D verbreitet.
Es gibt auch speziellen "Ofenkäse" aus Frankreich, welcher oben vor dem Verzehr geöffnet wird.
Wahrscheinlich kommt dieser Brauch aus dem Mittelmeer-Bereich, wo man auch Gemüse auf den Grill legt.
Theese small coffee makers are called "Bialetti", just like the italian company that invented them
I would have expected to find egg cups (Eierbecher) on the list...at least I myself was very suprised to find exactly one egg holder in the various homes I used to live in, while travelling through New Zealand for allmost a year
For people working in a grocery store or something like that one cent coins are necessary for being able to work because the prizes in Germany are always like 4,99€, 3,99€, 0.99€ so most of the costomers are always giving 5,00€, 4,00€ or 1,00€ to the shop workers and then the shop workers have to give a one cent coin back to them.
Or we could adjust the prizes to 4.90 etc. The 1-5 Cent coins are useless
The long time died comedian Tegtmeier ( Jürgen von Manger) once said: It would be good, to produce 99 Pfennig coins and 9,99 Mark bills.
@@Bennime_Once that might work for reducing 9.99 to 9.90, but most other prices probably will be raised, eg from 4.99 to 5.40 or 5.90, and for costly items like a car it wouldn't help to reduce 27999.99 to 27999.90, but they should be honest and ask for 28k straight (i once saw a new car for something like "42768.98 plus delivery", why not "43k total"?).
The problem are not those x.99 amounts to pay if they would be justified, but that for marketing (x-1).99 sounds a lot cheaper than x, and we would have the same problem again with (x-1).95 or (x-1).90, or maybe next year have x.90 or (x+1).90 anyway.
ps: even if such a car costs 43k straight and now MWSt/VAT changes eg from 16% to 19%, what should be the new price if they don't want to change the original price "at the factory"? 44112.07? or still 43k, or 44k or 44.5k or 45k ?
and the same applies to most cheaper items too, where 1 Cent is more than 0.1% or even 1% of the price ...
or should europe start doing as the usa do, pricing something at 9.90 and adding taxes later, maybe even rounding up to the nearest 10 Cent?
the heating radiator and also the coffee kettle are very common in Spain too! my house since it has no gas system it has a different heating which is an electric plate in the wall and it's really thin, we call it Italian or Moka coffee pot here. Greetings from Barcelona :)
😃 Saludos desde Figueres! 👋🏻
@@alemandealemania Igualmente desde Barcelona!
Hi Antoinette! The espresso machine you show is a traditional one originally from France or Italy. And I really enjoy your videos, and this one is no exception, but as far as I know, it actually works a bit different from what you described: you definitely have to put the water in the bottom part of the machine and the ground coffee in the middle part (sieve) - and when the water in the bottom part has been brought to a boil, the steam rises and passes through the coffee powder in the sieve in the middle - to finally end up as brewed coffee in the upper part of the machine! Just in case anyone not yet familiar with this kind of old style espresso machine wants to give it a try!😜
Die Kaffeemaschine heißt in Italien "Cafetteria" und in Spanien "Cafetera". In den Ländern ist es im alltäglichen Gebrauch. Der Kaffee ist geschmacksreicher und auch magenverträglicher als Filterkaffee. Ich bereite meinen Kaffee seit 19 Jahren damit.
Viele Grüße aus Spanien!
"Caffettiera" aber besser gesagt "moka". :-)
@@silviaborghese8568 giusto 😀
4. USA calls it a moka pot
geschmackreicher? du hast wohl noch nie einen richtig gut gemachten Filterkaffee (am besten mit Porzellanfilter) gehabt?
In general you can say: Germans brought a lot of things back home from theire holidays in europe. Like the italian coffe maker.
And for some things ( like Ketchup) we saw them and said:“ That is an awesome product, but we can make it netter (better )for our pallat.“(Curry Ketchup)
The 1&2 cent coins are traditional...people used to save the 1 cent change to eventually pay for a woman's shoes for her wedding. Some people still do it, but they get an appointment at the bank to count and, well, digitise their 1 cent coins before buying shoes. Almost nobody shows up with a bag full of 1 cent coins at a bridal fashion store anymore (you'll be considered weird if you do, but occasionally it still happens).
People don't really save them anymore but 1 cent coins are still thought to bring good luck, especially if you find one, similar to 4 leaf clover. Some people bring a lucky cent they found when they have an exam.
So...I don't think they'll go away.
As far as the coins are concerned, they are euro cents, which are
used in every country of the European Union, including Germany. Curry Wurst, with heavy Ketchup and curry is more popular in Berlin.
Yeah, I remember the "Heiße Kiste" in Berlin, Neukölln, where they sold Curry Wurst. Having to pass by, it always smelled horrible. So I am not so keen on that stuff.
It is actually an Italian espresso brewer. You use beans differently roasted. While filtercoffee is mildly roasted, espresso coffee uses more strongly roasted beans typically of the arabica type.
I lived in Germany for 12 years and never tasted, or even saw, Grillkäse. Perhaps it's a South German thing. As for the cents, NO! Don't get rid of them! In Britain we have a one penny coin as well as two pence, five pence etc. Sure, they weigh your pocket down, but you can feed small denominations into the self-serve checkout in the supermarket. The small coins are invaluable for market traders who want to compete with the other stallholders on price. Finally, heating in New Zealand: is it perhaps so warm all year round that you don't need much heating? I know NZ has hot springs. That must be amazing to get free heating!
NZ is cold especially in the winters. Plus the windows are thin and made of what feels like paper. People usually get electric heaters for their rooms to warm them up, leading to crazy power bills. I've even seen places where they use bed sheets that you can plug into the wall. Those things are dangerous, too.
PS Grillkäse is not (only) a Southern Germany thing.
Grillkäse is a staple at both Aldi and Lidle once grill time is starting. And I am not living in South Germany. It's a pretty new trend, though.
Radiator and the resource used for heating always depends on budget, a radiator is cheaper than ground heating "coils", Gas Heater is cheaper than an oil heater.
Gas is usually delivered via piping that is already present, Oil has to be delivered and stored in tanks, then you got pellets, which is pressed recycled wood and stuff, also delivery, Liquid Gas, also delivery and quite expansive as well, but the heat pumps take the cake in terms of price, they also don't deliver 100% of the heat needed to warm a house, but they potentially make you independent from any delivery of resources. Barely anyone heats with wood nowadays since it is mostly considered a luxury but it is still an option some have as an extra since the heat from burning wood is more pleasant.
Yep, they are useful, if you go shopping and have to pay odd numbers like 20,03€ they will be handy if my wallet becomes too big I just collect them all and every couple of months I bring them to the bank, they have a counting machine that transfers it directly to the bank account. And so, nothing is lost. I at some point didn't do that, so I decided to collect all the 1,2,5 and 10 cent pieces I had lying around and surprise surprise, more like get shocked, it totalled almost 50€. The Cents in Germany always have a use, we are after all cash lovers "Nur bares ist wahres". This might come down to our general distrust of banks and the financial watchdogs in Germany, the Finanzamt, they can't tax Cash HA!
There are these coin counters in the bank and I always collect my 1 2 and 5 cent coins in a little bag. When i throw a full bag into that counter it's always crazy how much money it actually was.
5 Things I would never thought that they were special for someone. Especially Nr. 1. Really? 😅
We have exactly those heaters in the UK, as well! I'd say that smell is slightly metallic from when they're warming up.
1. With the heating it is enough if you set it to 2! A tip when you turn on the heating in the room, there are filling vessels especially for the radiators where you can fill them with water. They are there so that the room humidity remains normal when heating, i.e. a feeling of well-being in the room air, otherwise if you do not do that, the air is too dry.
2. Tip: At ALDI there is now "Currywurst Sauce" in the glass, as delicious as at the Currywurst stand.
The filling vessels are typically not installed anymore. But there is an easy fix: just put a glass of water on top of the radiator.
I LOVE the Aldi Currywurst Sauce!!!!!!
nope not delicious at all 😅 but taste is different 🤷♂️
I'm Austrian but we face the same issue with the coins. I personally have a huge box for 1-10/20c coins and when it's full I bring it to the coin counting machine in the bank. Always gets me around 60-80€ when it's full haha
As a kiwi, it seems odd that some of these things were new to you because they aren't that unusual even in NZ.
The curry ketchup I can understand because although you can get it in NZ, most people never notice it in any store, and physically holding 1 and 2 cent pieces if you're young.
Radiator heating was how every school was heated. I myself had a Moka pot in NZ and grilled Holloumi cheese is a reasonably global thing.
Your Video Remonds me of my year living in England wehre they pour Vintage on their chips, eat mint sauce, put milk in the cup before they add the tea, stand up in the theatre or cinema when the national anthem is played and drive on the „wrong „ side of the road😂
Love
Brigitte
Yeah, at the pictures in Australia there was always the queen mounted on a horse acompanied by the national anthem at the beginning of a film and everyone stood up - even as an 8-year-old, I never did so because I couldn't see any sense in it. Even at the monday morning assemblies at school, the British and the Australian flags were raised and we had to sing "god save the queen" - most of my friends though prefered to sing "god shave the queen". The Australien national anthem in my childhood was nice though, as it didn't glorify any kind of royal but refered to the beauty of the country: "There is a land where summer skies are gleaming with a thousand eyes ..."
Putting vinegar on chips is really strange. I've noticed British tourists in France doing that at restaurants. My French friends and I always had a good laugh about all that ignorance related to good tasty food ist about.
And in Australia they drive in the wrong side of the road as well, but I got my driver's licence after having returned to Germany.
That cheese is popular in NZ now too, we call it Halloumi
Halloumi is an actual type of cheese. Yes you can put it on the barbecue too but that's not necessarily every type of "Grillkäse".
We have Halloumi too. It a bit different. :)
As some people have already said, the coffee pot is a Bialetti Moka Pot. I just looked it up the other day because I thought it made coffee but my husband said it makes espresso. We use ours for camping and a regular espresso machine at home, but I purchased another Bialetti style pot for at home because they’re so convenient!
Lol you must be so young. We had the radiator heaters in schools, hospitals and lots of public places until about 15 or so years ago here in NZ.
I, too, find the 1 and 2 cent coins annoying, but they will be needed as long as items we have to buy, have prices like 1,99 €, 9,98 € etc.
These radiators ARE actually a heat pump system - the central heating burner heats up water which flows through the pipes - when through the radiator when you open the valves.
The Italian espresso maker has a small disadvantage.. the coffee and water mixture goes to the boiling point temperature of +100°C and that causes to dissolve some substances from the coffeebeans into the coffee brew that are not the healthiest ones and cause higher cholesterol levels in your blood. Therefore filter coffee is more healthy, the max temperature of the water that comes in contact with the coffee in a coffee filtermachine is some 85°C and that is just not enough to dissolve those substances.
When you have no cholesterol problem and like the coffee, just keep on drinking it. :-)
By the way: The english word Ketchup is borrowed from Indonesian/Malaysian Ketchap (kĕchap) kechap manis a spiced soja sauce used in Indonesian/Malaysian kitchen! I agree about phasing out the 1, 2 and 5 Cent coins! At many supermarkets you can tell the cashier: "Aufrunden Bitte" then they will count up to the next full amount, no 1, 2 or 5 Cent coins then and the amount will go to charity!
The government thought about to eliminate the small coins due to the high production cost and to save copper for other things
I remember coming to New Zealnd and being super confused that there were no 1 or 2 ct coins xD
I missed german heaters when i was staying in nz for 6 months. The house was always cold❄️❄️❄️
Make sure to buy the curry ketchup with the green top. The red top one doesn't taste as good since it is curry and spicy mix, the green one is sweet curry which is waaaaay more popular.
The 1-5 cent is not needed only by retailers because many products are sold with 1. 99 cents or 1. 95 - 99- 75-69 cents. That’s why you don’t have a round number at the checkout
The interesting thing about curry is, that it come via/by the british from india. And it is not a single spice but a mix. The basic component is Kurkuma, wich is a bit similar to Ginger.. (both are roots)
About the small coins: I agree that they are annoying, but we still need them, because according to German law, each money debt is by default a cash debt, so while the parties of a deal can agree on paying per EC-card, bank transfer or credit card and many shops do generally accept at least some of those means of paying, they can not deny a customer to pay cash (and since people have grown rather more concerned about data protection than less, I doubt that this fundamental principle will change anytime soon).
Unfortunately, it is a very common advertising technique in retail to have x.99 prices, because a price display of 9.99 € just looks much cheaper than 10.00 €, even though there is hardly any difference. Thus as long as we don't have a law that forces retail to get rid of those .99 prices and round to at least 5 cent (which some countries have actually done to get rid of the small coin), we'll still need the one and two cent coins to pay cash.
I remember those heaters at my school when I was a teen. We would hug them during winter especially as we lived near a mountain. Also our hospital here in new Plymouth has them too! They are here, just not as common and more old school. omg my partner would love the curried ketchup! YUM that grilled cheese. sounds good!
You can buy the Hela Curry ketchup in the Dutch shops.
I throw a lot of my copper coins in the street. I once read that finding a coin, even a small one, puts people in a good mood. And it can make a child happy. Or I put them in the donation box at my local Asian market, they're Bangladeshis and collect for the people at home.
Das machst du hier in Deutschland? Klingt alles sehr systemfeindlich hahaha no offense but throwing them in the street or give them to people who aim at melting them down? That doesn’t sound too nice since you either have coins all over the street or new coins have to be produced cause you export them, idk js
I have seen people eating Halloumi/Grillkäse less than 10 times my whole life and I am now 46 years old and never left Germany except for vacations.The coffemaker I have not seen someone use during the last 10-15 years (at least) even though my parents have one (because my dad was Italian and brought it with him).
The Bialetti is a Mokka - Maker -- it cannot make more then 1,5 bar of water pressure. So it makes a good coffee but not an Espresso.
For an Expresso you need a minimum over 9 bar , so that the crema and all the aroma is transported in the water.
We have several Bialettis at home as it is easier to use and easy to clean.
No.4 In the UK I have three of them although at any particular time two of them manage to hide away somewhere. They make good presents as well.
I normally don't collect more than 10 cents worth in 1 and 2 cent coins, and I either use them to pay the next odd amount I come across, or I use them instead of a 10 cent coin with my next payment. No problem at all.
07:35 One thing i really like about those is that they don´t care where the heat is coming from. You don´t got no 240V outlet for em? They don´t judge.
So yeah i absolutely throw one in my backpack and make hot water with a camp fire.
Yes, i do get grade A coffee while i´m camping. When it comes to my coffee, i´m extra.
Correction:
Well for an "Espresso" = "type of coffee" invented in Italy you need the water vapor pressure of 9 bar ("bar" is the unit to measure pressure) which is a high pressure and therefore is coffee made with that methode with an actual "Espresso machine" done very quickly with the use of way less coffee powder and way less water but you have still a strong coffee aroma and therefore named with the italian term "Espresso" for that type of coffee actually just meaning "express" = it is actually a "light digestable coffee" because of the less amount of used coffee powder but with strong aroma.
That particular coffee cooker is able to deliver just 2 till 2,5 bar of water vapor pressure therefore way more water is needed and more coffee powder therefore it is simply not possible to make an "Espresso" (= type of coffee) ...just for the record.
The type of coffee which is made with that particular coffee cooker is actually a "Mocha/Mocca/Moka" which is actually "the classic/original/old style" coffee = it is actually a "bit heavier disgestable coffee" because of the higher amount of used coffee powder in comparision to an "Espresso coffee"
Unfortunately those type of coffee cookers are often "labeled" as "Espresso cooker" because it is also an italian invention but that labeling "Espresso cooker" is actually totally misleading because here the italian term "espresso/express" is not refering to the "type of coffee" but refering to the fact that a Mocha/Mocca/Moka is done "quick with less effort" with that particular coffee cooker than making Mocha/Mocca/Moka" in the traditional/old style way ...just for the record.
Espresso doesn't means express, it means pressed out (i. e. it uses pressure).
@@NicolaiCzempin Do you know italian? Can you speak, read and write italian?
I do...and you clearly don´t.
So why do you think you can lesson me in a language you clearly don´t know in the slightest? I consider that as "just being stupid", Sorry to say that, but it is the bare nacked truth about people who are lessoning other people in a language they by themselves clearly don´t know.
Guess what..it means both..
"pressed out" + "express"
Do you know the italian word for "express letter" and "express package"?
Guess what... it is "espresso lettera" and "espresso pacco"...and those aren´t "pressed out" but delivered "quickly/express"
Do you know the italian word for "Express train/fast stopping train"?
Guess what.. it is "Espresso treno" and that train isn´t "pressed out" but "just fast".
And in my very first sentence of my previous comment I already pointed out that an "Espresso" coffee needs 9 bar vapor pressure power in order to be an "Espresso"...which shows clearly that I already know the meaning of "pressed out".
BUT additionally I already explained why those coffee cookers which are not able to make "Espresso coffee" because of lack of pressure power are also called/labeled/named "Espresso cooker"... because they are making "Mocha" quickly ..and here the meaning of "Espresso" = "express" ..
Did you even read my comment till to the end before you felt the need to reply?
I don´t think so....or....if you did then you simply didn´t understand the content in the slightest...
...because the whole content was soley about that "double meaning" of the italian word "Espresso" where then people - because of not knowing the italian language - falsely think they are making an "Espresso coffee" with that coffee cooker because of the "Label" "Espresso cooker" although they are just making "Mocha" but therefore "quickly/express"...I explained it already in detail in my previous comment.
Maybe you should read it again with an english dictionary in order to understand....because it seems now your english is also not that good as well, because the content of my previous comment was "crystal clear" for those who are able to understand english..but because of your - stupid reply - I now have to presume your english is not good enough to understand.
Interesting, I used to use that kind of coffee maker when I was living in CH.CH. in New Zealand. :D
The odd thing about the Italian coffee maker is that people apparently cannot agree what to call it. It is often called an "Espresso" maker, and I recently even saw a similar pot labeled as such on the box in a store. Any coffee aficionado will tell you this does NOT make Espresso, which is brewed under several atmospheres of pressure. Some people then call it Moka pot, which I believe was the trade name under which it was originally sold in Italy, but the coffee it brews is not a Turkish "Mokka" either. It is probably best to call it "Italian coffee maker". It is quite popular in Germany, but I would say the most "German" coffee is still pour over coffee filtered through a Melitta paper filter ;-)
35 years ago, when I was living in Hamburg, i couldn't find regular catsup, only curry catsup. If you stopped at an Imbiss, your sauce choices for fries were primarily curry catsup or mayonnaise. I never missed regular catsup, since both were delicious to me!
Smell that comes from the heater, when you first turn it on in winter is probably burned dust?!?!?
Hello, the coffee kettle originated in italy from were it was imported through german tourists and as well from italian immgrants called Gastarbeiter it went pretty the way like pizza.
That toasty smell in the fall when you turn your heater on? That's dust! You have to clean them before.
Or you can just be lazy AND enjoy the smell!
@@victorialo8992 for an "improved" (stronger, possibly toxic) smell paint them during the summer. and when heating season begins, you need to operate them for a week with open windows ...
I collect the „small“ coins and bring them once a year to the bank on a bankbook. When my goddaughter becomes full age, she gets the bankbook (she´s three now):-)
most banks now charge a 1 cent fee per coin you want to pay in. So if you put 1 cent coins in you get nothing and 2 cent coins only half what they are worth
Inflation sadly eats up 2/3 of its value on the meantime
Where I live in germany people don't seem to understand thermostats. They keep turning them up and down as if they were water faucets without the thermostat function. 3 is 20 degrees Celsius.
Well, I do love curry ketchup, but I do not have at it home. I think the smell you like in regard to the radiators is the smell of burning dust, correct me if I am wrong. Thanks for the great video!
Hi, Antoinette,
I only wanted to suppose a little bit Victoria Lo, who instructed you about the very Italian origin of the little coffeemaker. Indeed in Italy it is an absolute every day tool, that was adopted by the Germans. Like the cheese to be fried from Cyprus. Geemans are in eternal love with the mediterranean regions they spend their holidays in and so many typical Italian, Greek or Spanish food changed in "typical German"
In The Netherlands we skipped using the 1 and 2 cent coins. Prices are still set as, for example, 0,99 or 1,02 euro, but when paying it is rounded up or down to 1,00 euro. So you lose some or you gain some, but in the end it balances.
I always try to pay the correct price, if I have coins, so they never really accumulate. if somethings costs 98 cents I pay 98 cents, "passend", or I use the coins for coffee machines or vending machines, that often only use coins. I try to pay with small coins first before I look for the larger ones. But I also had to get used to doing this. I remeber a time, where I always emptied out my wallet and had a whole jar full of small coins at the end of the month/year. Now I established a habbit of using them and they never accumulate anymore. Thank you for your videos !!!
Hmm, may be you smell 'heated dust' when winter starts 🤔🤔
I'm from turingia and curry ketchup isn't that popular here, neither is currywurst. We usually eat Bratwurst with normal ketchup :)
(Thüringer) Bratwurst mit Mostrich (=Senf),
Currywurst mit Curryketchup und viel Curry
Als Thüringer solltest Du nur Senf benutzen ;)
@@tobiwillichnet6659 nee, Senf mag ich gar nicht 😝
Currywurst oder Curry Ketchup ist hier in Bayern auch nicht angesagt. Aber ich kaufe mir immer am Christkindlesmarkt eine Thüringer Bratwurst - wegen Corona letztes Weihnachten musste dieser Genuss leider ausfallen. Normalerweise esse ich aber überhaupt keine Wurst.
#4 is a moka pot or a Bialetti (named for the Italian guy who invented this design). My bf (who is German) said when he lived in Italy his Italian friends always seasoned their new moka pots a few times by brewing coffee in them to get a dark residue in the inside and eliminate any metallic taste from aluminum models. It’s a running joke that depending on how many coffees you brew in a new moka pot before drinking one from it, proves how serious a coffee drinker you are! Italians are very intense about their coffee drinking rituals! 😅😂
Apart from the curry, you might have been in UK. The coffee pot is called a moka pot in English. They are not so popular now, since espresso machines got cheaper. In the 80's I heard it was illegal to hoard German coppers , as they were worth more as scap metal. Maybe just an urban myth.
In Canada we got rid of the one cent coin, the lowest coin is the nickel (5cents), but when paying with debit or credit card you still get billed with cents. When paying cash it gets rounded up or down to the nearest nickel .
New Zealands North Island is warmer than Germany in winter but I missed my German heaters here in the chilly, wet Auckland winters
Love halloumi cheese. It’s also very common over the ditch in Australia thanks to a very large Cypriot and Greek community.
A decent bbq isn’t throwing shrimp on the barbie, we’re throwing lamb and halloumi.
Isn't it nice, how international we are?
This kind of Radiators are German but it was a Russian German, who has developped them.
Ketchup origanally came from China
Hallomy is from Cyprus and a protected name.
The Espresso machine is a Italian invention.
And the cent is a european currancy. The Germans had the Pfennig.
And all together is considered as German by somebody from New Zealand.
What a wonderful world we live in.
Have a nice day.
I remember the time buying a piece of candy for just one Pfennig - 100 Pfennige were 1 Deutsche Mark and 1,95583 DM is 1 Euro.
Nowadays if you buy something it regulary costs e. g. 99 Cents or some euro and 99 Cents so if you use cash you still need 1 Eurocent coins in germany.
Before sweden and other countries decided to use almost no cash I was there and there was a sign about rounding to (if i remember correct) next ten swedish krones (skr) so if you bought more you got it a bit cheaper or the other side around if you bought only one of a kind it was more expensive.
The cheese is Haloumi. In Austria we also like it a lot.
