The coffee ceremony in Ethiopia is usually served with popcorn (“fenidsch”) or roasted and spiced grain (“kollo”). The scent of incense creates a nice atmosphere during the ceremony. Of course you can also use other delicacies for your coffee ceremony.
The formal framework for the coffee ceremony in Ethiopia does not require an office coffee machine or coffee filter machine
If you are invited to an Ethiopian coffee ceremony, you have to bring a lot of time with you. The ceremony honors the visitor and the hospitality of the host. It can take place at any time. The hostess usually wears a traditional white robe with colorful borders. The ceremony begins with the placing of the accessories on the carpet and is accompanied by the festive scent of incense. Once the coffee has been prepared, it is elegantly poured into the bowls in a thin stream from a height of around 30 cm. The coffee is drunk with a lot of sugar and milk or, in rural areas, black with a little salt. In Ethiopia, the coffee ceremony is often performed three times a day. In villages in particular, this is by far the most important social event. If you’re lucky enough to be invited to a coffee ceremony, don’t back off until the third round of coffee. According to tradition, the third round is said to bring blessings to the house. Of course you can also bring the coffee ceremony from Ethiopia to Germany. You can of course prepare the coffee as usual in the office coffee machine and make your colleagues very happy with the festive setting. Just remember to discuss your plans with the boss and, of course, to invite him.
