You can count on it, at some point in the afternoon, one of my children will say it: "k-ah-f-ee-zeit" (Kaffeezeit), meaning it is time for a leisurely sit-down, have a cup of coffee or tea and maybe a biscuit. I believe it is the ritual and the connotation of this being so traditionally German as well as the mix of having a little time out and the sweet treat that makes this so appealing. And in case you are appalled, I do not regularly caffeinate my kids, we make fruit or herbal tisanes or like today, what we call 'Kinderkaffee', a malted grain coffee.
