Introduction
Coffee is one of the most popular beverages in the world. It has been around for centuries, and its popularity continues to grow. In many cultures, coffee is on par with wine as a social lubricant and symbol of sophistication. The following are some examples of how different countries around the world use coffee in their day-to-day lives:
In Italy, espresso is always drunk standing at a bar.
In Italy, espresso is always drunk standing at a bar. It's served in small cups and not usually accompanied by milk. Espresso is strong and bitter; it's made by forcing hot water through finely-ground coffee beans.
The first machine for making espresso was patented in 1884 by Angelo Moriondo of Turin, Italy. However, the concept of espresso didn't catch on until 1901 when Luigi Bezzera added steam power to his machine (called a "crema caffè," or "cream coffee").
A pleasant custom in Vienna
You'll discover that coffee is a social drink, and it's served differently in different places. The coffee may be served with a glass of water or "coffee with milk." The coffee is served in a ceramic cup and saucer, given to you when you sit at the cafe.
You can expect to find sugar cubes on the table, a spoon, and an ashtray (if smoking is allowed). You can also expect to be offered something sweet after your coffee, such as cookies or pastries.
It is used as an aphrodisiac.
In many parts of the world, like Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco, and Yemen, coffee is used as an aphrodisiac. The caffeine in coffee can increase blood flow to the genital area and help improve mood, which can positively affect sexual performance.
You may also have heard that coffee can help to prevent impotence. Research has indicated that drinking coffee might reduce the risk of erectile dysfunction. A study conducted in 2009 found that men who drank at least three cups of coffee per day had a 26% lower risk of developing erectile dysfunction than those who only drank one cup or less.
Turkish coffee
Turkish coffee is prepared with a special pot called the cezve, which has a handle and a long spout. The coffee grounds are ground fine and placed in the cezve. Hot water is added to the pot, then brought up to a boil using an open flame or small stovetop burner. The boiling water is poured into another cup. This is where you'll add your sugar! And then returned to the cezve for about 10 minutes before being served in small cups with a saucer under them, as shown above.
The legend of Kaldi
The legend of Kaldi is a story about how coffee originated. It says that a goat herder named Kaldi noticed that his goats were very energetic after eating berries from a certain tree, and he reported this to the abbot at the local monastery. The abbot decided to boil the berries and drink the resulting liquid. He found it kept him awake at night, so he shared it with other monks who also liked it. They began boiling more berries and serving them in cups to visitors from other monasteries, which is how coffee was discovered.
The legend of Kaldi isn't true. There's no evidence to suggest that goats were involved in discovering or creating coffee, but it's an interesting tale nonetheless.
In Iran, coffee drinking is accompanied by eating dates or pastries.
Coffee is the most popular drink in Iran. It is served black and with tea at breakfast or as an accompaniment to dates or pastries.
Dates are often eaten with coffee because they contain a high level of iron and vitamin B6, which may help prevent iron deficiency anemia. This illness can cause tiredness and a reduced ability to concentrate.
The most common coffee drink is a Turkish-style coffee called "have." It is made by adding sugar and cardamom to boiling water and then pouring it over thick grounds of dark-roasted coffee beans.
The world's largest coffee chain
You may not know that the world's largest coffee chain is not Starbucks. It's Dunkin' Donuts! With over 12,000 stores worldwide (and growing), you'll never be far away from one of their orange and pink signs. Dunkin Donuts was founded in 1950 by William Rosenberg from Quincy, Massachusetts. He opened his first store on National Boulevard in Quincy, Massachusetts, and named it after his favorite drink: "Dunkin' Coffee." Today, there are dozens of varieties, including regular, decaf, and flavored coffees. They also offer hot cocoa, lattes, and mochas year-round - perfect for your winter holiday celebrations!
Starbucks was founded in 1971 by three friends who wanted to start a specialty coffee roaster near Pike Place Market in Seattle, Washington, which became one of their first locations today still serving up those delicious treats they're known best for today; however, they weren't always so successful back then either taking over 20 years before becoming profitable enough to expand outside Seattle with just 4 locations (by 1987).
Conclusion
There is much more to coffee than just drinking it, so if you ever find yourself in a new city and want to experience the local culture, try some local coffee shops and get to know the people around you. You might even find yourself learning a few things about the world and an excellent cup of joe.
