This small cup of coffee is usually drunk standing at the coffee bar rather than sitting and chatting with friends. Besides, do you want to be more authentic?

Turkey

Usually the Turks will boil the ground coffee beans and water directly in a copper coffee pot and drink them. Sometimes add a little cardamom to increase the flavor. When drinking such strong coffee, many people like to go with Turkish fudge. Some people even drink coffee dregs together!

Vietnam

◆◆ Ca Phe Da Vietnamese iced coffee

Vietnamese coffee is characterized by the use of condensed milk and deep-roasted coffee into iced coffee. More than 100 years ago, Vietnam did not have a very mature dairy industry, so there was not much fresh milk. The local French use condensed milk to make coffee.

Australia / New Zealand

◆◆ Flat White Australian White Coffee

When you arrive in these two countries in the southern hemisphere, you must try Xiaobai coffee. The milk foam of Xiaobai coffee is very delicate, more silky and softer than that of cappuccino. Friends who like light coffee can come to Australia for a cup of single shot-a single extra strong white coffee. But the editor advises coffee lovers to order a cup of double shot, a double concentrated Australian white coffee, when they go to New Zealand.

Greece

◆◆ Frappe Coffee Farabee Coffee

The encounter of chance and coincidence, sometimes, can create the most perfect combination. In 1957, at an international trade fair in Salonica, Greece, Dimitris Vakondios, a representative of Nestle Coffee, suddenly wanted coffee. But there was no hot water around him, so helplessly he took out a bag of Nestle instant coffee, shook it with cold water and ice cubes in the mixing glass, and made the iced coffee with a little foam on the spot. Who knows, from then on, local people also began to decorate the aroma of coffee with sugar or condensed milk. And they insist on drinking Nestle coffee so that it tastes authentic!

Spain

◆◆ Cafe con miel Honey Coffee

The Chinese principle is that you have a good breakfast. In Spain, by contrast, breakfast is the smallest meal of the day. Usually, Spaniards like to use dessert with coffee. Sweet Youtiao, sweet bread, or cookies are all popular choices for breakfast. In such a "sweet" country, coffee is naturally inseparable from "sweet". However, Spaniards like to sweeten coffee with honey rather than sugar. If you add some hot milk to your coffee and sprinkle it with cinnamon powder, it's perfect!
