Ethiopia, the home of coffee

In Ethiopia, coffee is a central part of everyday life. Inexpensive and served everywhere, on any occasion, it is a powerful factor promoting conviviality and social relations. In the capital, Addis Ababa, and every other city in the country, you can drink coffee in the street, on the pavement, sitting on a little stool and catching up on neighbourhood news. You can also find it in luxury international hotels and airports, where the preparation ritual is performed on a little stage.
