Ethiopian coffee is not just a deliciously tasty beverage, it's an essential ingredient of Ethiopian culture and society.
Coffee in Ethiopia is a part of everyday life and it often includes an entire Ethiopian coffee ceremony.
The procedure begins with green coffee beans that are roasted in the open room so they start to burn and turn extremely fragrant. The smoke fills the room in an intoxicating coffee fragrance.
During the ceremony, it is traditional to serve a bowl of fresh popcorn as well as a to burn frankincense for another added aroma.
When the coffee beans are done roasting, they are ground by hand using a mortar and pestle and then placed in a special Ethiopian clay coffee pot for brewing.
The brewing is a complicated process of boiling and reheating until the beverage is perfect.
The host makes sure the coffee is supreme before serving it to the anticipating guests.
Drinking Ethiopian coffee is a great experience!

    The Ethiopian coffee ceremony is a traditional cultural practice that is an essential part of daily life in Ethiopia. The ceremony starts with roasting green coffee beans until they turn fragrant and smoke fills the room. Popcorn is served alongside the coffee, and frankincense is burned to add to the aroma. The ground coffee is then brewed in a clay coffee pot, which is a complicated process of boiling and reheating. Finally, the host serves the brewed coffee to guests. Drinking Ethiopian coffee is an excellent experience and one that is a must-try for coffee lovers.

    I love that song! It was released in 1997 by the way. It's a great song.

    Very interesting. As they produce coffee in Ethiopia, it makes sense they love their coffee this much. So the ceremony seems to be all about resting the beans as required and really savouring the aroma. I'm sure anywhere it is hospitable to offer coffee to guests but there is no hurry and the moment is savored. I do like Ethiopian coffee myself, but of course I buy it pre ground in a bag, and don't have this experience at home.

    Is this special coffee like having an Espeesso? Or somewhere between Espresso and Americano? I was surprised they added sugar though.
