Coffee Around the World

Have you ever wondered what other types of coffees there are in the world?

Here we are going to talk about some of the different coffees around the world.

Let’s get started!

Turkey
Turkish coffee, also known as Türk Kahvesi, is very well known around the world. Traditionally it is prepared in either an ibrik or cezve, which is a small copper or brass pot. Turkish coffee has a certain preparation; sugar is added during the brewing process and there is no cream or milk. During the boiling process, the coffee creates a very foamy surface which should be left alone, no stirring is needed for your coffee as that’s the traditional way to consume it. Cardamom is also added to the coffee to add a little floral flavor to make it extra delicious.

Greece
In the Mediterranean parts of Greece, the frappe is the most well-known coffee. The frappe is made with iced instant coffee with plenty of foamed milk. There are 3 sugar options you can choose from to go with your frappe. These include sketo (no sugar), metrio (some sugar), and glyko (2-4 spoonfuls of sugar).

Mexico
In Mexico, Cafe de Olla is often found in rural areas with colder climates. The coffee is brewed in a clay pot; its unique flavor comes from piloncillo cones, which is an unrefined cane sugar added with cinnamon. This coffee is often served black and you may come across this coffee being served with a hint of orange peel, cloves, and allspice.

Ethiopia
Ethiopia is often referred to as the “birthplace of coffee.” Ethiopia Genika or “coffee is our bread” is made during coffee ceremonies in which the beans are roasted in a pan before being ground and are served to family and guests. Ethiopia is among the top world’s coffee producers and consumers, as it has been exporting coffee since the 15th century.
