Located at the junction of Europe and Asia, Turkey has been drinking coffee since around 1555.
In 2013, UNESCO also selected Turkish coffee as a UNESCO Cultural Heritage Site.
Turkish coffee is brewed in a Turkish pot: the coffee powder is ground to a very fine point, mixed with various spices (such as cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, etc.), and simmered slowly.
When drinking, do not filter, directly take the coffee grounds to drink.
▲ Turkish coffee
Locally, Turkish coffee is used to entertain distinguished guests, which is an important local ritual.
In some places in Turkey, when men and women are on blind dates, they will also show their hearts through the taste of coffee: girls like boys to add sugar, do not like to add salt, the more sugar / salt added, the stronger the degree of like / dislike.
In addition, Turkish coffee has a particularly interesting function - it can be used for divination: after drinking coffee, interpret the horoscope according to the shape of the coffee grounds left in the cup.
Full Moon Shape: Congratulations on being a lucky person who has recently been blessed by Heaven and confidently pursue your goals!
Crescent: Recently belongs to the period of low pressure, everything should be careful and cautious, treat people and things with a humble attitude to face, impatience is easy to bad things, should be patient to deal with.

Austria's most famous coffee is Viennese coffee, where locals refer to "music, waltzes and coffee" as the "Three Jewels of Vienna".
It is said that the most classic Viennese coffee was invented by a coachman named Ein Schubner and can be used to refresh the mind during the cold season.
Typical Viennese coffee is also called Einspänner (Eisbahner).
Use a warm cup, add granulated sugar or fine rock sugar to the bottom of the cup, then pour in the strong hot coffee, and finally add 2 spoonfuls of fresh cold cream on top, and drizzle with chocolate powder or colorful rice.
When drinking Viennese coffee, do not stir, drink directly, you can feel three different levels: sweet and delicate cream, strong coffee, sweet sugar that has not been completely melted, especially satisfied.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="30" >03 French coffee - Ore coffee</h1>
Romantic elegance has always been synonymous with France, and French people drink coffee more about the environment and mood, they like to drink slowly and savor.
Even a small espresso they can drink for an afternoon.
The specialty coffee in France is Ore coffee, which literally translates to milk coffee in French, which is one of the essential drinks for French breakfast.
The method is: a concentrated and sent milk, the cup size is about 170ml, and the French locals sometimes use a larger cup or bowl to fill the coffee, in order to eat it with a pastry dipped in coffee.
However, there are many different practices of O'Recon in different countries: some European countries have a 1:1 ratio of espresso to milk; the United States uses drip coffee with milk; Starbucks's Ole coffee is made of American + a small amount of hot milk...
But what remains the same is that the milk is hot and does not contain milk foam.

There are 2 more interesting stories about Irish coffee:
One is to say that the coffee was made by a chef at Aer Lingus to help people get rid of the cold and tired drinks of the journey.
One is to say that it originated in a romantic love story: a beautiful stewardess who likes to go to a local pub every time she flies to Ireland.
Bartenders like flight attendants, but flight attendants only order coffee each time. To attract the attention of the stewardess, the bartender made the coffee for her.
Guo Vacuum sister saw the new product on the menu, curious, the bartender happily shed tears in the cup, so this coffee is sometimes called "lover's tears".
Through this cup of coffee, the flight attendant and the bartender intersect and fall in love with each other. Later, the flight attendants did not come to Ireland due to work adjustments.
Later, the flight attendant went to many cities and never drank the same coffee, and in honor of her story with the bartender, the flight attendant opened a café that sold Irish coffee.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="30" >05 Greek coffee – as important as mythology</h1>
Coffee in Greece, like mythology, was an essential part of ancient Greek culture.
Coffee was introduced from Arabia to Greece, and the most native Greek coffee is somewhat similar to Turkish coffee, which is brewed in a Turkish pot.
But the difference is that the Greeks generally use ground coffee, add water, add sugar, and boil over medium heat to drink. (Turkey is spiced, simmered, boiled 2-3 times before drinking.) ）
If you want to add spices, you add yourself when you drink, and there are some places where you don't add sugar when you cook, and add sugar according to your preferences after cooking.
Like Turkey, greeks have a penchant for fortune telling after drinking coffee and watching coffee grounds.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="30" >06 Moroccan coffee – anytime, anywhere</h1>
"There's nowhere else to go, there's nothing else to do, you go to a café, and Moroccans have to go every day." This is the Interpretation of Coffee and Cafes by Moroccan locals.
Morocco has a particularly large number of cafes, almost every street, and even small storefronts in slums.
In Morocco, people say "coffee another day" as naturally as Chinese say "eat another day", and they express their love for you by saying they have coffee with you.
Moroccans like to spice coffee, and one practice is to mix milk and cinnamon powder and add it to espresso mixed with syrup.
After adding the syrup, the whole cup of coffee is sweet, and the dense milk bubble mixed with the strong aroma of cinnamon powder is especially suitable for winter.
