Third is referred to as Nescafe, which is a caffe latte almost.http://www.recipezaar.com/114755

Answer 3

there's the Turkish coffee which you have to buy blended and ready (u just can't make it at home --the powdered coffee that is--) you drink this coffee in cups similar to those for espresso U add 1 tsp per cup and u BOIL IT (make sure to boil it or it'll taste like ur drinking a water-sand mixture) once it starts to bubble and spill, take it off and drink with sugar to taste (u can also drink it without sugar.

The other one which is easier to make is gahweh sada (which means literally plain coffee.) A westernized version of this one, which tastes perfectly authentic is to mix nescafe or any other instant coffee (I choose the nescafe golden blend) and boil it with a couple of cardamom pods. Drain the pods and drink in small portions. This one is more delicious but is served in formal occasions (weddings, funerals, etc..)

Hope this makes sense and is useful :)

p.s. Here's a site where u can buy coffee for the first recipe!

Preparing coffee



Coffee fruit (beans)

Coffee beans before roasting

Coffee beans after roasting

Aging

Some sorts of coffee taste better if the beans are "aged". This means that after they are picked, the beans are kept from three to eight years. This "aging" gives the coffee a less acidic taste. Coffee that has been aged is often mixed or "blended" with other coffee that is not aged.

Roasting

"Roasting" is one of the important stages in making coffee beans into coffee. When a coffee bean is roasted, it grows nearly two times bigger and changes from green to yellow to brown.

The length of time that the coffee beans are roasted makes the coffee taste different. Some types of coffee, such as Mocha and Java, are roasted for a short time. It is easy to tell from the flavour where the coffee is from. When coffee is roasted for a long time, it is harder to tell the different types apart. Green coffee beans can be bought and roasted at home in the oven.

Grinding

Before the coffee is made into a drink, it is "ground" in a small grinding machine called a "coffee mill". The coffee mill breaks the beans into very small pieces. Coffee is turned into a drink in several different ways. For some ways of making coffee, such as "espresso" it is best to have the cofffee ground into fine powder but for other types of coffee-making, such as "filtered coffee", the coffee is in larger pieces to stop it going through the filter. Finely ground coffee makes a stronger taste.

Brewing

Coffee is made into a drink by putting the coffee into boiling water. This is called "brewing" coffee. There are many ways to brew coffee, four of the most popular are:

Boiling: The coffee and the water are put into a pot on top of the stove and boiled slowly together. This way of making coffee has been used for hundreds of years. It is the way that coffee is usually made in the Middle East, North Africa, Turkey and Greece.

Pressure: The boiling water is forced through the ground coffee by a machine. This type of coffee is called Espresso and the machine is called an "Espresso machine" or "Coffee system". Espresso machines are often found in cafes and restaurants. Espresso is a very strong coffee that can be used to make other coffee drinks.

Gravity: Filtered coffee is made by gravity because the boiling water falls from a machine onto the coffee. The coffee grounds are held in a paper or metal "filter" that the water can run through, but the little coffee pieces cannot. The water becomes coloured and flavoured as it runs through the coffee and into a coffee pot.

Steeping: Boiling water is poured onto the coffee and it is allowed to stand for a little while, until the water has taken the colour and flavour. This is often done in a cafetière, which is a tall glass or coffee pot which has a special filter inside that can be pushed down when the coffee is ready so that the person doesn't drink the coffee grounds. Another way of steeping coffee is to have coffee grounds in a small satchel or packet, the right size to make one cup of coffee. The packet is placed in the cup and water poured over it. Then the packet is removed.
