coffee maker (human, not machine)
To my understanding these are balls/dances organized by different business associations/clubs/institutions. As for the Kaffeesiederball, this is a fancy event organized by the Viennese Coffee house owners in the Hofburg.

I wouldn't translate them. I have had enough Vienna balls to last me a lifetime, and I'd say if you have to bore the reader with them, the put the explanations in brackets. The Techniker are engineers, the Jägerball is obviously a hunt ball, and the Kaffeesieder are indeed coffee house owners. Actually these are rather obscure events. Don't they mention the Zuckerbäcker?
