The Popular ‘Ciglica’ Has Been an Indispensable Part of Our Rituals for 25 Years

Everyone has their favorite daily ritual that they are reluctant to miss. For some, the day cannot start without a cup of coffee, while others enjoy a coffee after work in the company of friends. And it is precisely Franck’s Jubilarna coffee, known by the name ‘Ciglica’ thanks to its distinctive shape, that has been a part of our daily rituals for a quarter of a century. Sometimes it is a moment we gladly set aside for ourselves, and sometimes it is moments we share with our loved ones.

On the occasion of the Ciglica’s birthday, Franck has launched two new products – Jubilarnu Intense and Jubilarnu Sensual. Jubilarnu Intense is a powerful coffee that energizes and awakens all the senses, while Jubilarnu Sensual brings a smile to your face every time with its gentle taste and magical aroma.

Our grandmothers and mothers taught us the rules of etiquette on the popular ‘Ciglica’, as one never went visiting without a package of ‘Ciglica’ and a box of sweets.

‘Ciglica’, that wonderful little package of coffee full of aroma and pure enjoyment, has always been the ultimate gift for all occasions. Present among all coffee lovers for generations, ‘Ciglica’ is celebrating its 25th birthday this year. Franck’s Jubilarna coffee was first introduced in 1972 and immediately became a kind of icon, while it received its current specific shape in 1993.

The Advantages of Vacuum Packaging Coffee

So how did this beloved coffee among Croatians get the name ‘Ciglica’? Franck designed and launched a special vacuum-sealed package in the specific shape of a brick that uniquely preserves the original aroma and taste of the coffee. Thanks to this packaging, the coffee is not subjected to external influences such as oxygen and moisture, extending its shelf life while preserving quality, aroma, and taste. This is evidenced by the wonderful aroma of coffee that is felt as soon as we open the ‘Ciglica’. After opening the package, it is necessary to properly close the container in which we keep it and store it in a cool, dark place to maintain the freshness of the coffee for as long as possible.

The taste and aroma of Franck’s Jubilarna coffee, recognizable to all coffee lovers, are the result of the perfect combination of the highest quality ground Arabica and Robusta coffee and the finest grinding process. If we add a rich chocolate flavor to that, it is no wonder that it has been a favorite warm beverage for decades. It proudly carries the status of queen, precisely because of its special recipe and preparation method that beautifies every day, creates a ritual of relaxation, and is a perfect gift for anyone on any occasion.

Of course, each of us has our specific way of preparation, and many have learned the ‘craft’ of making coffee from their grandmothers and mothers, who gladly spent their little free time in the company of friends and their favorite coffee.

Tips for Preparing the Perfect Cup of Jubilarna

Regardless of the family ‘secrets’ that make our drink perfect, we bring you tips on how to prepare the perfect cup of Jubilarna. All we need is boiling water and coffee. In 100 milliliters of hot water, it is necessary to add two heaping teaspoons of coffee and then stir well to properly combine these two ingredients. After that, all that needs to be done is to return the pot back to the heat and gently warm it until the foam rises. When the coffee is ready, it is ideal to wait three to five minutes before serving so that the taste and aroma can be fully experienced. It is at that moment that we can fully awaken our palate and allow the taste and aroma of the freshly prepared coffee to intoxicate our senses and provide us with a complete experience of drinking our favorite beverage, regardless of the time of day. And regardless of whether you are alone or in company.

On the occasion of the 25th birthday, ‘Ciglica’ has also received its official website jubilarna.franck.eu, where you can learn all about its history, as well as interesting recipes in which you can use it. The possibilities are endless – because we simply cannot do without it. And so it has been for a full 25 years.
