Coffee around the world<\/h3>\n

The big coffee chain giants might be available in every corner of the globe, but traditional coffee cultures are still going strong. Whether you\u2019re in a Turkish bazaar or the Caff\u00e8 Florian<\/a> in Venice (the oldest coffee house in the world), you\u2019ll still find coffee drinking quirks that have been passed down through generations. So, how do our fellow coffee fans drink their java? Pack a suitcase and grab your passport, because we\u2019re going to find out!<\/p>\n

Turkey: fortune-telling with coffee<\/h3>\n

The Turkish word for \u2018breakfast\u2019, kahvalt\u0131<\/em>, might translate to \u2018before the coffee\u2019, but Turks rarely have a brew with their breakkie<\/a>. Most coffee in Istanbul and elsewhere is drunk in the afternoon or at night, usually as the close of a good meal or precursor to late-night conversations.<\/p>\n

Turks take their coffee dark, strong and served with sugar. The sugar is added to the cezve<\/em> (traditional copper coffee pot in Turkey) beforehand, and the finished drink is served with water to cleanse the palate. They\u2019ll most likely be a piece of lokum<\/em> (Turkish delight) on offer, too.<\/p>\n

Fancy knowing what the year ahead holds? Turn your coffee cup upside down when you\u2019ve finished sipping to find out! Turkish coffee is drunk unfiltered, leaving gritty grounds which make shapes when left to dribble out.<\/p>\n

Italy: no cappuccinos in the afternoon!<\/h3>\n

No coffee road trip would be complete without a stop off in Italy, would it? It\u2019s the birthplace of the espresso<\/a>; the caff\u00e8<\/em>-scented land with days that revolve around caffeine. Milky coffee is enjoyed at breakfast, followed by one (or more) caff\u00e8 macchiatos mid-afternoon. Punchy espressos come after dinner and are typically enjoyed with friends at the local coffee bar. Most Italians drink their coffee standing up at the bar<\/a> (al banco<\/em>) because it\u2019s cheaper than ordering to your table. We\u2019re not sure they\u2019ll like our Pull Up a Chair<\/a> coffee, then\u2026<\/p>\n

Regional variations mean there is always something new to sample. Take a trip to Turin for a velvety bicerin<\/em>, a beautiful coffee with visible layers of coffee, chocolate and cream. If you\u2019re in the south, stop off in Sicily and order a caff\u00e8 d\u2019un parrinu<\/em> with flavours of star anise, cinnamon and cloves.<\/p>\n

Japan: convenient coffee and cold brews<\/h3>\n

Coffee first arrived in Japan in the 17th century when Dutch nationals drank it in Nagasaki. The Japanese weren\u2019t left star-struck; the bitter taste of Dutch brews wasn\u2019t for them.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Pouring<\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

Coffee became more popular after WWII, when the Japanese ban on coffee was lifted. Coffee very quickly became cheaper, more accessible and much more convenient. Ease is what it\u2019s all about with Japanese coffee \u2013 did you know that it was a Japanese coffee company that invented the first ready-to-drink canned coffee in 1960? Today, instant coffee, chain stores and coffee vending machines are big business. Most people take their coffee on the move, and you can find hot and cold coffee drinks sold on almost every high street. Indie coffee shops are becoming more popular, however, as the Japanese embrace third wave coffee culture.<\/p>\n

Cold coffee originated in Japan and is still a hot topic there today. Japanese-style iced coffee is brewed hot and flash chilled using a pour-over coffee device. Cold brew has recently become huge news in North America and the UK. The pros expect its market size to reach $1.63 billion by 2025<\/a>. Cold brews all round then!<\/p>\n
