Exploring Coffee Cultures Around the World

Coffee culture varies significantly from country to country, reflecting different cultures' diverse customs and traditions. In Italy, for instance, espresso is an integral part of daily life, enjoyed in quick shots at bustling cafes known as "espresso bars." Meanwhile, in Ethiopia, the birthplace of coffee, the traditional coffee ceremony involves roasting and grinding coffee beans and brewing them in a clay pot called a "jebena." The rich aroma and the formal process create a genuinely immersive coffee experience.

Other countries also have their unique coffee rituals. In Turkey, coffee is prepared using a unique pot called a "cezve," It is customary to serve it with a side of Turkish delight. In Japan, the focus is not only on the taste but also on the aesthetics of the coffee. Intricate latte art is a popular trend, with baristas skillfully creating beautiful patterns on the surface of the coffee.

Must-Try Coffee Drinks in Singapore

Singapore, known for its vibrant food scene, offers an array of must-try coffee drinks that cater to all taste preferences. One popular choice is the traditional Singaporean-style Kopi, a solid and robust coffee brewed with a unique blend of beans and sweetened with condensed milk. The Kopi C Siew Dai is a popular variation with less sugar for those seeking a refreshing twist.

If you're looking for a fusion of flavours, the Gula Melaka Latte is a delightful choice. It combines the richness of espresso with the sweetness of Gula Melaka, a type of palm sugar commonly used in Southeast Asian cuisine. For a modern take on coffee, the Instagram-worthy Nitro Cold Brew is a must-try.
