8 cafes around the world

Coffee is the most consumed beverage in the world after water, so it's no surprise that each country has its own unique coffee recipes. Discover 8 coffees that will take you on a journey around the world and what makes them special:

Affogato (Italy)

Affogato is a classic Italian drink that combines espresso and gelato. In Italian, "affogato" means drowned, a reference to the fact that the espresso is poured over a scoop of gelato, which drowns it.

Turkish coffee (Türkiye)

Turkish coffee is made from coffee beans simmered in a copper or brass pot called a cezve. This method prepares unfiltered coffee and it is often served with water so you can cleanse your palate before each sip.

Flat white (Australia)

Similar to a latte, but smaller in volume, this Australian favorite is a simple option for those seeking a milk-based drink with a strong coffee flavor. It's made with a small amount of steamed milk and a thin layer of microfoam.

Qahwa (Saudi Arabia)

In Saudi Arabia and other Arab cultures, coffee ceremonies follow numerous rules of etiquette, including always serving elders first. It is also customary to serve this cardamom-infused beverage with dried dates to counteract the bitterness of the coffee.

Cafezinho (Brazil)

Similar to an espresso, a cafezinho is actually a small cup of coffee. The only difference is that a cafezinho is pre-sweetened, usually brewed directly with sugar.

Ca Phe Trung (Vietnam)

Known for being both very mild and very strong, this Vietnamese iced coffee is typically made with egg yolks, sugar, condensed milk and robusta coffee.

Cafe de Olla (Mexico)

Simmered with a cinnamon stick, traditional Mexican coffee uses piloncillo (unrefined cane sugar) and is served in a clay cup which is said to bring out the flavors of the coffee.

Irish Coffee (Ireland)

This coffee-cocktail hybrid consists of hot coffee, Irish whiskey and sugar, finally served with a finishing touch of whipped cream.
