Drinking coffee is not only affected by personal preferences, but also varies from region to region.

Let's see, what are the different habits of people from different countries in drinking coffee?

United States (and other English-speaking countries)

Most people add milk to their coffee. Americans call this coffee a "latte" and usually drink it with takeout. There is also "unlimited drinking" coffee in fast food restaurants: as long as you pay for a cup of coffee, the waiter will bring a coffee pot to refill your cup. This kind of coffee is usually not very good, in addition to the use of poor quality coffee beans, the coffee machine with a hot plate will continue to heat the coffee all day, which is a big reason for the notoriety of American coffee.

Italy

Italy is a patriotic country of espresso. They have a quick cup of "strong" coffee at the counter of the bistro before work in the morning, and a cup of espresso during the morning break (colazione) around 11:00, accompanied by bun cream or other snacks. Italians must use mocha pots to make Italian mocha coffee at home, and never drink filtered coffee.

Nordic countries (Norway, Sweden... )

Scandinavians are world-famous coffee consumers, who drink mostly drip coffee. In Norway in the 19th century, many people would brew spirits at home. In order to reduce the amount of alcohol people drink, the church chose coffee which is less dangerous than alcohol as a substitute and vigorously promoted it. Since alcohol cannot be distilled at home, many people start drinking coffee, which has become an integral part of daily life in northern Europe.

Turkey

Turkish coffee (also known as "Greek coffee" after it was introduced to Greece) first appeared in the Ottoman Empire in the 16th century and was made from a Turkish coffee pot called "cezve", a long-handle container made of red copper or brass and brewed with coffee powder ground as fine as flour. In the past, people used to pour coffee with another kind of long-handle coffee pot, "ibrik", which has no residue. Because of its similar appearance, later people often confused this pot with cezve. Turkish coffee types include extremely sweet ç ok sekerli, slightly sweet az sekerli, slightly sweet orta and completely unsweet sade. According to tradition, after drinking coffee, people will buckle their cups upside down on the coffee tray and look at the patterns of coffee grounds to predict the future. Only Turkey, the Balkans, the Middle East and eastern Africa drink this coffee; however, people drink not only coffee, but also an art of life.

Japan

The first impression and association of Japan is tea culture, which is a big country in tea production and drinking. In fact, the Japanese also love coffee and have established their own coffee culture since the 18th century. Their coffee consumption is amazing, especially high-end coffee, which is among the highest consumption in the world. The Japanese prefer to use mild V60 drip filter pots or siphon coffee pots (also known as Saifeng pots) to make coffee.

Ethiopia

Traditionally, women prepare coffee: first, roast raw coffee beans in a large iron pan, then mash the roasted coffee beans in a bowl, and then pour coffee powder into a clay pot called jebena and boil it with water. Finally, a small cup of brewed coffee is served with popcorn in a small cup without a grip. This is the coffee ceremony in Ethiopia.
