]]>Ethiopian Buna
Ethiopia is said to be the birthplace of coffee, and Ethiopian coffee is traditionally prepared as part of a ceremony called “buna”. Buna involves roasting green coffee beans over hot coals and then grinding them by hand using a mortar and pestle. The coffee is then brewed in a clay pot called a “jebena” and served with snacks like popcorn or roasted barley.
Vietnamese Iced Coffee
In Vietnam, coffee is often brewed with sweetened condensed milk and served over ice. This deliciously sweet and creamy coffee is known as “cà phê sữa nóng” and is a popular beverage during the hot summer months. A hot version prepared with egg yolks is also enjoyed throughout the year.
Turkish Sand Coffee
Turkish coffee is traditionally prepared using a special copper or brass pot called a “cezve”. The cezve is filled with coffee grounds and placed in hot sand, which allows the coffee to brew slowly and develop a unique flavor profile. The coffee is then poured into a small cup, grounds and all, and served with a sweet snack.

]]>Don’t Order a Latte
In Italian, the word “latte” literally just means milk, so if you walk into a coffee shop and ask for a latte, don’t be surprised when the barista hands you a cup of dairy. Instead, ask them to make you a caffè latte, which is espresso with steamed milk and a little foam.

Italians don’t drink their coffee with milk after 11 a.m., so order your cappuccino early to avoid sticking out as a tourist.
Try Something New
If you’re looking to try something fun and you’ve never had a caffè corretto, consider giving this drink of espresso served with a splash of alcohol a shot after dinner.

]]>Industry Beans
Industry Beans has taken “coffee is the best flavor” to its logical conclusion by including coffee in nearly everything on its menu—even savory food. In addition to regular coffee drinks, it has a special signature drink which is essentially a “bubble coffee” with sweetened condensed milk and tapioca pearls.
Paramount Coffee Project
Situated in Surrey Hills in a building with an underground theatre, a study space, a fitness center, and a hotel, Paramount Coffee Project is as boutique a spot as it gets. They have delicious food options and a lovely seating area, but the most important thing is their coffee beans. They constantly sample and bring in new batches and roasts from all around the world.
Bill’s
If you’re a brunch lover, then Bill’s cafe is a must-visit. As one of the original brunch cafes in the Sydney area from the famous local chef Bill Granger, it’s got a few locations to choose from. There are lots of amazing options on the menu, but we recommend the signature ricotta pancakes.

]]>Rome, Italy
As the virtual inventor of Western coffee culture, Italy and especially Rome is a quintessential item on this list. The best-known drinks in the Western world like espresso, cappuccino, and macchiato all originated right here. Italy’s coffee culture is particularly ritualistic, with coffee drunk either standing at the espresso bar or ordered from a table (no takeaway and only after a meal) and cappuccinos drunk only in the morning. The coffee in Italy is less caffeinated than in America and is meant to be enjoyed rather than chugged.
Hanoi, Vietnam
As a large exporter of coffee, Vietnam has its own coffee culture dating back before widespread globalization. Their traditional coffee is quite strong and very caffeinated, using robusta-variety beans rather than arabica. They have their own traditional iced coffee drink made with sweetened condensed milk, perfect for the country’s hot summer months. In addition, there is a vibrant new-wave coffee culture with many creative flavored drinks to try.

To many, Portland is known as Ground Zero for the “hipster” movement that birthed third-wave coffee. The city is brimming with small-batch roasteries and creative specialty shops, making it the perfect destination for someone who never wants to drink the same coffee in the same place twice.
