Drinking coffee in North Africa

I went to Algeria in North Africa on business because of my work. I took this opportunity to experience the coffee culture of the second largest country in Africa. Algeria has historically been ruled by Roman dynasties, Byzantines, Turks, Arabs and France. All kinds of cultures blend and run through, and most of the buildings are mainly European buildings. If you walk on the streets, you would think it was an ordinary European town if it weren't for the mosques that appear from time to time.

[Roadside coffee shop, very simple]

The shop is standing to drink coffee, generally the shop is pull rod machine. Three cups of ESPRESSO, one cup of milk, four croissants total 140DA, equivalent to 9 RMB, very cheap.

Coffee can be said to be a normal part of Algeria life, like a Chinese teahouse, sitting all morning.

There is a relatively good meaning of the phenomenon is that there are specialized coffee bean shops, directly to the roast beans to sell, and mainly to Robusta, the store has a large mechanical grinder. The coffee consumption of local people is very high.

The coffee powder in the shop and the addition of white sugar are relatively extensive. A cup of ESPRESSO 20DA is almost 1.2 RMB, which is almost the same as drinking a cup of soy milk in China. Talking to friends in Algeria, they all complained that ** coffee is too expensive too WEAK, they still prefer STRONG a little coffee. So it seems that robersta still has a certain market for him.

A cup of coffee on the roadside basks in the sun. The weather in Algeria is very similar to Yunnan, dear.
