Request for Question Clarification by politicalguru-ga on 19 Jun 2004 08:20 PDT

Dear Salibat, 

First, do you need something like the products in this picture 
<http://www.hochwald.de/pictures/sicher2.jpg> (especially the small
ones in the bottom centre)?

Second, where do you need it shipped? 

And thirdly, are you looking for a certain brand of this product? If
so, could you please describe it? Did it have a mama-bear and a
baby-bear on it (very famous brand...)? Did it have any other picture
or even colour you could remember?

And again, could you confirm that this is the type of product you're after?

Politicalguru-ga,

This is the product that I am looking for (or so it seems, it is hard
to see the picture). The product that I recall (or one similar to it)
was high in fat content and a darker color. I also enjoyed it in
Amsterdam and Copenhagen.

How can I purchase the item you have shown?

Dear Salibat, 

Thank you for the comment, that explained what I wanted to do. 

Kaffeesahne (one word, but pronounced as you have - as two words) is
in fact a sort of condensed milk. Traditionally with no less than 10%
fat, nowadays low-fat versions are made (through pasteurization).
(See, in German, the Lebensmittellexicon,
<http://www.lebensmittellexikon.de/index.html?http://www.lebensmittellexikon.de/k0000160.php>).

It is of coruse hugely popular in Germany and in the German speaking
regions (such as Austria, Switzerland), but it seems rather difficult
to find an English-language site that ships to the United States.

Lila-Se.de have Baeren Marke coffee cream
<http://www.lila-se.de/shop-en/products/milk/index.html> 
(The light blue sort is fatt-reduced). 

The German Grocery <http://www.german-grocery.com/> has two types of
this sort of milk, only in cans, though, Gluecksklee and Baeren Marke
<http://www.german-grocery.com/shop/pi1866647639_3-tea-coffee-cocoa.htm?categoryId=25>

I hope this answered your question. If you could read and order from
German sites, please let me know - some of them have international
orders. Please contact me if you need any further ckarification on
this answer before you rate it.

Search strategy: searching for the term [kaffeesahne], even with
limitation of the results to English pages only, was not successful. I
searched for [german groceries] and searched in the stores that came
up.

Thanks so much for such a thorough answer. For a first-timer, I am
impressed and will recommend to colleagues and friends.

Kaffee Sahne means coffee with cream in german and is not a product
name , I am sorry but there are numerous german/european coffee
creamers and it is impossible to narrow it down

Sorry corwin-ga, but you comment is misleading. Kaffesahne does not
mean coffee with cream in german.
Kaffesahne is a milk based liquid which you can put in your coffee.
Sure itīt not a brand name but the name of a product group.

Hello:

I am a Translator/Researcher and native speaker of German.  I thought
it would be helpful to add that KAFFE SAHNE means coffee cream in
German.  There are many different types of this type of product.

In investigating this, I found a great site that offers a wide array
of German products (available for purchase online).  Unfortunately, I
was not able to find any kaffe sahne on this site.  I thought I'd add
it anyway as it offers a good example of what type of site (or
service) you may find useful in your hunt.

I hope you find this information helpful.

The name Kaffee Sahne refers a brand that we used in the late '80s
while I was living in Frankfurt. It was a dark creamer, (high in fett
content) and was served in hotels.

I am not particular as to which brand. I am just looking for a product
that I can purchase in the USA (or import) for personal consumption.
