Want to know which countries have unique habits of enjoying black coffee? Let's take a look at the following explanation!
Italy with Affogato
Everyone may have a "personal relationship" with espresso. Some like and enjoy drinking plain espresso, some prefer to mix it with other ingredients, such as additional water or milk. However, perhaps none of these methods are as unique as the Italian way of enjoying affogato.

Türkiye and Yemen with Turkish Coffee
Don't be mistaken that Turkish coffee originates from Türkiye! Before it became popular in this country, this method of serving black coffee first appeared in Yemen. Then, it was brought to Turkey and other countries in the Middle East region. This is why Turkish people often call this coffee “Arabic coffee.”
All versions of “Arabic coffee” are generally made the same way, namely by boiling water, fine coffee powder, sugar and cardamom. However, Turkish people cook it in a cezve pot placed on the surface of hot sand. So, if you want to make it, you can use the pot you have at home and use ingredients such as Arabic coffee in general.
Finland with Cheese Coffee
Cheese coffee or what is known as kaffeost in Finland, is a black coffee dish dipped in several cube of cheese. The purpose of this habit is so that the cheese absorbs the coffee liquid and becomes soft like a sponge. Therefore, they will use a special cheese called leipäjuusto bread cheese made from reindeer milk.
Vietnam with Vietnamese Drip
Besides being rich in culture, Vietnam also has its own way of making black coffee, namely by using a drip coffee machine, which has been around since the French colonial period in the 19th century. From there, this equipment became increasingly popular both throughout Vietnam and abroad. In fact, now you can get it easily and cheaply.
Not only that, but making it is pretty easy. Place the coffee grounds into the Vietnamese drip, then pour hot water so that it passes through the grounds and out through the filter hole. However, because the filter hole is small, it may take you longer than usual, around 10 minutes. After that, you can enjoy a delicious cup of black coffee!
Tarik Coffee from Malaysia and Indonesia
Indonesia and Malaysia have many similarities because of their close geographical location. This is what makes several dishes found in Malaysia are also available in Indonesia, such as pulled coffee (kopi tarik).
Kopi Tarik is a variation of Teh Tarik from Malaysia, where the process of pouring water during brewing requires movements such as pulling upwards to produce a delicious drink with unique foam. Somehow, this method eventually gave birth to pulled coffee, a special drink on the island across Malaysia, namely Sumatra or, to be precise, Aceh Province.
So, those are the various facts about black coffee and how it is served by people all over the world. Basically, these methods are not done just because of the unique steps in making it. These unique methods are a sign that each culture has different coffee-drinking habits, even though there are several similarities between them.
If you are interested in enjoying a cultural touch in your cup of coffee, you need to know that the coffee bean type is also an important factor. One product that offers two types of Indonesian coffee beans is NESCAFÉ Nusantara with Lampung Robusta beans and Mandailing Arabica beans. The two are specially combined to produce delicious coffee, full of cultural richness and easily dissolved, even in cold water!
