Beethoven: I Counted 60 Coffee Beans for Every Cup
Beethoven’s biographer Anton Schindler wrote that the composer counted exactly sixty coffee beans for each cup, a vivid habit supported by only that single direct account.
Beethoven's strangest breakfast rule comes from Anton Schindler, his late-life assistant and first major biographer. Schindler wrote that Beethoven allowed exactly sixty coffee beans per cup and counted them by hand so a scoop could not be off by even one or two beans. 1
Other visitors independently described Beethoven making black coffee in a glass vessel near his writing desk. The sixty-bean number, however, rests on Schindler alone, so it is best understood as a vivid historical account rather than a fact confirmed by several witnesses. 2
