<\/a><\/p>\nAccording to legend, coffee made its way to India in the 1600s by a holy man named Baba Budan. He\u00a0managed to smuggle 7 coffee beans from Yemen in his robes. Once planted, the plants flourished, therefore introducing coffee to India! Filter coffee is traditionally enjoyed in South India; it is brewed by using a two-part vessel called a filter. Pour hot water over the grounds in the upper chamber, then find your brew in the lower chamber. The coffee is then mixed with milk and sugar and served in a metal tumbler.<\/p>\n
Cuba – Cuban Coffee<\/h2>\n
Coffee was introduced to Cuba in 1748 when Don Jos\u00e9 Gelabert started the first coffee plantation with beans from the Dominican Republic. Later, French and Haitian immigrants arrived and helped Cuban coffee farms improve their growing methods. Cuban coffee is made by putting sugar into the espresso cup or pitcher, pulling an espresso shot over the sugar, then stirring. The sugar caramelizes and creates a thick and sweet coffee that is served in an espresso or besito cup (besito translates to ‘little kiss’).<\/p>\n Traditional Mexican coffee is called Caf\u00e9 de Olla (Pot Coffee) because of the clay pots in which it is brewed. The pot adds an earthy texture to the coffee, which is balanced by sweetening with cinnamon and piloncillo, a type of unrefined sugar. Coffee was originally introduced to Mexico in the late 18th<\/sup> century when the Spanish brought over plants from Cuba and the Dominican Republic. Mexico is now the largest producer of organic coffee in the world, accounting for about 60% market.<\/p>\n C\u00e0 ph\u00ea \u0111\u00e1 translates to \u2018iced coffee,\u2019 but is commonly known in the states as Vietnamese coffee; it is brewed using a coarsely-ground dark roast coffee in a small French drip filter called a c\u00e0 ph\u00ea phin. This is a single-cup brew method, during which the coffee is typically\u00a0brewed over condensed milk, then poured over ice. Why condensed milk, you ask? In the late 19th century, when coffee was first introduced to Vietnam, fresh milk was not readily available, therefore, condensed milk became the standard option.<\/p>\n Ethiopia is considered the birthplace of coffee. Legend has it, a goat farmer named Kaldi discovered coffee after his goats chewed on the beans of a coffee plant, and became wildly energetic. Kaldi then took a coffee branch to a priest, who threw the “demon” plant into the fire, wherein the first coffee beans were roasted. The Ethiopian coffee ceremony can be up to 3 hours long. Green coffee roasts over hot coals, then each participant smells the roasted coffee\u2019s aromatic notes. Afterward, the coffee is ground by a mortar + pestle and put into a boiling pot called a jebena. Once boiled several times, a filter is placed over the spout to prevent grounds from escaping while being served. This coffee is boiled and served 3 times and often is accompanied by a snack, like popcorn or peanuts.<\/p>\n Canned coffee first appeared in Japan in 1965, but the canned coffee craze was revolutionized in 1973 when a company called Pokka Coffee created a vending machine that could dispense hot and cold canned coffees. While canned coffees can be found in grocery and convenience stores, most sales come from the vending machines. Cans are still being dispensed with the option for either hot or cold serving, along with choices such as black coffee, low sugar, and the most popular option: milk and sugar.<\/p>\n T\u00fcrk kahvesi or Turkish coffee is brewed in a pot called a cezve with finely-ground coffee, boiled water, and sometimes sugar. The coffee is served directly into the cup, unfiltered, where the grounds are left to settle before drinking. Until instant coffee was introduced in the 1980s, this was considered the only way to make proper coffee.\u00a0Be prepared for a strong drink if you ever try it, for the Turkish peoples say, “coffee should be black as hell, strong as death, and sweet as love.”<\/p>\n Thailand\u2019s coffee drink is similar to Vietnamese coffee, as it is typically served with condensed milk and over ice. Oliang, however, uses a different method to prepare the coffee. Coffee grounds are brewed amongst a variety of ingredients including corn, soya beans, and sesame seeds. It brews in a cloth sock with a metal ring attached (called a tung dtom kaffee) and steeps for about 10 minutes before adding sugar and condensed milk, and serving over ice.<\/p>\n Senegal\u2019s traditional coffee drink, Caf\u00e9 Touba, is flavored with Kimba pepper and cloves. These spices are roasted and ground with the coffee, then brewed all together by a filtered method, similar to drip coffee. The drink gets its name from Touba, Sengal’s holy city, and is traditionally consumed by the Islamic Mouride brotherhood. Consumption of\u00a0Caf\u00e9 Touba has increased in recent years, causing sales of instant coffee in West Africa to decrease.<\/p>\n When ordering a coffee in Italy, just a head’s up that you will be served espresso.\u00a0An espresso is made by forcing a small amount of nearly boiling water through finely ground coffee. This brewing method produces a thicker coffee with greatly concentrated flavors. Espresso is often the base of other coffee drinks, including cappuccinos, lattes, macchiatos, and more. In 1884, Angelo Moriondo patented a steam-driven \u201cinstantaneous\u201d coffee-making device, which came to be an early prototype for the modern espresso machine.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\nMexico –\u00a0Caf\u00e9 de Olla<\/h2>\n
