1. Finland: Kaffeost
Why not cheese and coffee? Chunks of juustoleipa cheese are placed at the bottom of the cup before coffee is poured. Once finished, the Finnish scoop up the cheese to eat.
2. Vietnam: Egg Coffee
The Vietnamese vouched that the combination of condensed milk, sugar, butter, cheese and egg yolks (whisked together) create a coffee that tastes like liquid tiramisu.
3. Saudi Arabia: Kahwa
Saudi Arabians drink cardamom-spiced coffee at any ceremony, often accompanied with sweet, dried dates, that perfectly complement the coffee’s strong bitterness.
4. Argentina: Café Lagrima
Café Lagrima is light and airy, and not very strong. Argentinians enjoy sipping this cup of steamed milk and foam with just a teardrop of espresso.
5. Germany: Pharisäer
The Germans add alcohol to their coffee! In a cup of Pharisäer, black coffee is spiked with two shots of rum and topped with whipped cream.
6. Hong Kong: Yuan Yang
This unique brew made by mixing equal parts coffee, condensed milk, and black tea packs an unexpected punch.
7. Spain: Café Bombon
Paired with churros for breakfast, the intense combination of espresso and condensed milk makes for a filling coffee.
8. Ethiopia: Buna
Served with salt and butter instead of sugar, buna is brewed in a spouted pot known as a jebena. Ethiopian women spend up three hours to make buna.
9. Italy: Espresso Romano
Espresso served with a slice of lemon! A lemon wedge is rubbed along the rim of the cup because Italians believe that the sourness of the lemon enhances the flavor of the coffee.
10. Mexico: Café de Olla
Café de Olla is brewed with cinnamon sticks in earthenware pots for an earthy flavour.
