Famous Ethiopian Coffee

Are you a coffee lover like me? Thanks to my Ethiopia trip Ethiopian coffee It has taken its place at the top of the list among my favorite coffees with both its accessibility and taste. In this article, I shared my experiences and what I learned about Ethiopian Coffee, which you can find easily and cheaply on the street in Ethiopia, enjoyable reading.

While I could drink very, very good coffee in some of the coffee-famous countries (Ethiopia and Vietnam), I had a hard time finding decent local coffee to really drink in some (Kenya, Indonesia). The difference is that the local people have their own coffee culture. Ethiopia is the homeland of coffee and the people have incorporated coffee into their daily lives with traditional cooking techniques. But when you want coffee in Kenya, they often bring you “made in Kenya”, soluble coffee made in Kenya.

Ethiopia homeland of coffee. As such, coffee is an important source of income for the country. You can find good Ethiopian coffee anywhere in the country and drink it for 1-2 Usd. In Ethiopia, they call coffee "that".

Traditional Ethiopian Coffee

In Ethiopia, the coffee bean is ground and brewed by boiling after it is brought into the form of powdered coffee. It can be thought of as a bit of Turkish Coffee. Jugs made of a clay-like material are placed directly over the fire and served in cups the size of our coffee cups but without stems. Don't be fooled by how small the cup looks, it's a pretty strong coffee, but it's also delicious. Ethiopia is a paradise for coffee lovers. 

While serving the coffee, they give it with a herb, especially in small places. This herb is a herb with a very intense aroma. When you put a small branch in the coffee, the smell changes.

Italian Style Ethiopian Coffee

Ethiopia is one of the rare African countries that has never been colonized. However, the Italians tried very hard to get their colonies. During this time, they taught Ethiopians how to make coffee with the Italian style expresso machine. Although the traditional method still continues, coffee is also cooked with the Italian style in many places. If you say which one is more delicious, I like the traditional one more.
