Mark I was there in 1992 with the USAF. I was in a great hotel for a whole 20 hours. Was suppose to be there for 3 months but left the next morning for Aden. I had a cup of the hotels coffee called half and half. Oh my, I now rank all my coffee by that one cup that I had all those years ago. It is still be best coffee that I have ever had. About half the guys that went with us stayed in Ethiopia and they loved the place. One airman even fell in love while he was there. Thanks for the video, have a great trip. Oh, Yemen was not as good of an experience.
Hey Lek, thank you for sharing your experience, and wow that cup of coffee must have been amazing - and I believe it! There are a few things I do the same this as you did for - rank it against everything since. Ethiopia really is an amazing country from culture to food to history - I really loved it.
She's very beautiful and mysterious... but the coffee looks great too, especially when you mentioned 'earthy flavor'. *Sigh, I envy you so much, I wish could travel and taste the joys of the world.
Ethiopian Limu Inara coffee is by far the best coffee I've ever tasted. I live in Ottawa, Canada, and we're lucky enough here to be able to drink this in Bridgehead coffee shops, or buy them whole grain in bags and grind them ourselves at home :)
A tear is running down my face, when I lived with my granny in Massauwa, the Bunna ritual was on daily bases and I was young, but I could always manage to get a cup, my uncle use to get the coffee beans fresh directly from Harar, I miss my country so much
Dude knows his stuff. I always tell ppl if your coffee doesn't taste more like hot chocolate then you're doing it wrong. That clay pot must add some serious flavor. Cool video.
I personally don't drink coffee but I do love the smell. It's intoxicating. I also have to agree with the comments about the lady making the coffee, she is absolutely beautiful.
So did you end up having the third cup? We start with the first cup, called Abol Buna (abol for strong, or dark, buna means coffee), followed by Huletegna Buna (hulet is how you say Two, in Amharic, so second buna) and the Bereka Buka (bereka is weak).
we use the same cups to serve coffee here in the gulf countries ! :D we call it Fenjal though , and its rude to fill it to the top here lol , you serve it 3/4 full and refill it whenever they're done ! Traditions :P and the taste is no like other coffee ! You should visit Dubai its a great place , and you'll get to try Arabic coffee !
Hey Sana Meshari, great to hear that, and thank you for sharing the cultural tips about drinking coffee. Are you from Dubai? I was there about 6 years ago on a short visit, but would love to return again.
Yeah man that coffee on a Saturday or Sunday morning will give you enough energy to clean your whole house do laundry run errands grocery shop and hit the gym! lol It's great stuff.
wow... it's so interesting how they make coffee! so much to learn from watching your vids. :-) looked delicious once again. have a happy new year, mark!
That young lady is beautiful! I am so jealous of the opportunity to try that coffee, how awesome would that be to be able to travel around the world just to try different coffees....
LoL second cup in a row. U r going to be super hyper :D the very local traditional way make the coffee looks very special and unique. Love the different cultures from different places across the world.
Hey Mark, If you ever go to Indonesia then go to Jogjakarta(its their cultural capital). They have a famous 'coal coffee' over there. You should try it. I tried it during my travels, its good :)
I ve been there in year 2010 Street coffee is very cheap Just only 5bath or10bath St.goerge beer is also cheap . 20baht in grocery shop and 40 baht in hotel bar. Cost of living is very cheap and very good weather
Ethiopian coffee is the best especially when it serviced in the traditional pot Jabanna. here in Sudan we also have the same way of making coffee and we call it Jabanaa too! You should try Sudanese coffee one day i'am sure you'd like it too😄
30c per cup.... god i'll myself out there, looks too good. no sugar though, need to get a taste of it alone first. with commercialisation of coffee in the form of large cafe chains, i have forgotten that Ethiopia was one of the founding places of this substances i'm so addicted to
You mean placing one hand on the other when handing out things as a sign of respect? I thought that was only an Ethiopian thing. Interesting how much similarities there are between Indian and Ethiopian cultures.
coffee in Ethiopia is best when its brewed at home not on the street where nowadays the coffee makers put khat in the coffee to make people addicted to the coffee. but home made coffee with a family is best for the reasons that you are surrounded by family, its authentic and not commercialized version.
The Ethiopian people that make this coffee really should be charging more for it...at least charging the tourists more and not the locals. If they as people can be exploited for their labor and have their products exported for dirt cheap, the Ethiopian people in return should AT LEAST charge these tourists the same prices as you would find in a Starbucks. Those tourists are getting high quality product and a truly unique and interesting experience. If some White, modern-day carpetbaggers came in and decided to further exploit these people and create a business off of this in those people's homes...How much do you think a cup of coffee would go for then? I imagine not a mere 30 cents a cup. Stuff like this makes me upset. This woman looks so kind and genuinely helpful. I wonder if the maker of this video let her know what a cup of coffee like that would go for in America or whereever he's from? Probably not... to keep the people ignorant and keep things nice and cheap for the next time him and any of his comrades want to revisit the area. So, so upsetting.
You really made her smile, a beautiful woman.
That coffee is the real deal, not like the supermarket stuff.
Thank you Mark.
Thank you, yes definitely the real deal!
Still trying to wrap my head around how beautiful this lady and the coffee looks.
Right? lol
Better than Starbucks, no doubt! I love all things Ethiopian. The food, the people, the clothes, their music and dance. Very humble, very real.

*Sigh, I envy you so much, I wish could travel and taste the joys of the world.
Thanks Indra, the coffee did have that wonderful earthiness to it!
Expression from her eyes so wildly different.
Ethiopian Limu Inara coffee is by far the best coffee I've ever tasted. I live in Ottawa, Canada, and we're lucky enough here to be able to drink this in Bridgehead coffee shops, or buy them whole grain in bags and grind them ourselves at home :)
The girl was beautiful. The way she looked at him was mysterious and love her smile

A tear is running down my face, when I lived with my granny in Massauwa,
the Bunna ritual was on daily bases and I was young, but I could always manage to get

I miss my country so much

Dude knows his stuff. I always tell ppl if your coffee doesn't taste more like hot chocolate then you're doing it wrong. That clay pot must add some serious flavor. Cool video.
This looks delicious. I love that they keep it traditional.
It is. I had this before. So good I went and bought my own green beans
I personally don't drink coffee but I do love the smell. It's intoxicating.
I also have to agree with the comments about the lady making the coffee, she is absolutely beautiful.
Hey, thank you for watching, I agree, the smell is intoxicating!
Is it safe to travel to Addis Ababa?
The girl has the most wonderful smile.
Yes. I promise we won't bite.
Akel Dama lol

She's sooo pretty.. I love mocha though, coffee alone makes me tachycardic, but otherwise, I still love it :)
Mark got wonderful taste.. She is a stunner. Coffee is bonus.

Amazing videos, now I want to go to Ethiopia for some coffee
Pls come and visit our birth place of coffee Ethiopia. We are well come with our traditional coffee ceremony and humble Ethiopian welcoming.

So did you end up having the third cup?
We start with the first cup, called Abol Buna (abol for strong, or dark, buna means coffee), followed by Huletegna Buna (hulet is how you say Two, in Amharic, so second buna) and the Bereka Buka (bereka is weak).
+Makeda Zemene Gobez! I always try to memorize the cup names but never manage to do so. Tnx
instead of huletegna use "Tona"
ethiopian coffee is one of the best foreign coffees and it don't take much but it will definitely wire you lol with rich, bold and robust flavor!!!
Ethiopian coffee isn't "foreign". The plant and every single strain in the world originates from there.
The birth place of coffee is Ethiopia 🇪🇹
we use the same cups to serve coffee here in the gulf countries ! :D
we call it Fenjal though , and its rude to fill it to the top here lol , you serve it 3/4 full and refill it whenever they're done ! Traditions :P
and the taste is no like other coffee !
You should visit Dubai its a great place , and you'll get to try Arabic coffee !
Hey Sana Meshari, great to hear that, and thank you for sharing the cultural tips about drinking coffee. Are you from Dubai? I was there about 6 years ago on a short visit, but would love to return again.
I'm Living in Dubai now , but its not my home town though.. it changed DRAMATICALLY during the last few years , you should visit!
Hey Sana Meshari, in Ethiopia in different language we call the cup Fenjal as well :)
Michael Kesete cool !
Yeah man that coffee on a Saturday or Sunday morning will give you enough energy to clean your whole house do laundry run errands grocery shop and hit the gym! lol It's great stuff.
oh my that coffee brewess is really stunningly beautiful
I was born in a coffee growing region apparently and i'm obssessed with coffee!
If she is not moving here I'll be moving there !!! WOW so gorgeous I can tell she's never been tainted by visiting the US.
❤ coffee lady is beautiful enough to win Miss Universe ❤

Hey Ying, I got a lot of work done after drinking that coffee!
chocolate + earthy flavor sound like incredible taste.
great work buddy
There is something weirdly compelling about the way she stares into the camera as she drinks her coffee @2:20
she's soo pretty I almost didn't notice the cleaning of the cups. I hope there is soap in that thing
I'm a coffee addict,my love for coffee is strong❤☕.
What an absolutely beautiful woman. I couldn't take my eyes off of her! :)
I agree
+Autry Welch yoyo!!!! u r right. im 4m pak i fall in love with this women.

There are many much more beautiful women in Ethiopia! This girl was rather average.
Ayyub Faris That is a subjective opinion my friend but I agree, Ethiopian women are amazing.

Coffee is addictive, and that looks really addictive!!!!
Smokin' hot coffee...maker. ☕️

This is the one of my favourite great coffee,

I think that girl liked you Mark ;-)
I love coffee where ever i go
Hey Mark, If you ever go to Indonesia then go to Jogjakarta(its their cultural capital). They have a famous 'coal coffee' over there. You should try it. I tried it during my travels, its good :)
Hey Aseem, I was in Jogjakarta about 5 years ago, and it was fantastic. I would love to return again and try the coal coffee. Thanks for the tip!
what a beautiful woman! I'd like to tell her that...
I ve been there in year 2010
Street coffee is very cheap
Just only 5bath or10bath
St.goerge beer is also cheap . 20baht in grocery shop and 40 baht in hotel bar.
Cost of living is very cheap and very good weather
*whoa.. almost taste like chocolate??. yumm.*
Ethiopian coffee is the best especially when it serviced in the traditional pot Jabanna.
here in Sudan we also have the same way of making coffee and we call it Jabanaa too!
You should try Sudanese coffee one day i'am sure you'd like it too😄
30c per cup.... god i'll myself out there, looks too good. no sugar though, need to get a taste of it alone first. with commercialisation of coffee in the form of large cafe chains, i have forgotten that Ethiopia was one of the founding places of this substances i'm so addicted to
It seems yesterday when the staff working in my parents Addis Ababa house set around the hot pot to brew coffee...to strong for me , I was only 11
I bet it is awesome. I love a mocha flavor with coffee.
The barista is incredibly beautiful
Mark e una bellissima persona . Rispetta le le culture di tutti💚 dovremmo essere cosi tutti
Mark Wiens :-
Head Swirl : Above Expected Taste
Head Nod : Tastes ok (Not Bad)

A “MUST TRY” 🌹🌞 it’s very exquisite.
This is the famous Indian culture, when this girl gives coffee her,his one and on one other hand,this is respect😊
Ethiopia invented coffee
You mean placing one hand on the other when handing out things as a sign of respect? I thought that was only an Ethiopian thing. Interesting how much similarities there are between Indian and Ethiopian cultures.
Brother Mark, Greetings, Happy New Year.
Hey Steven, happy new year!
coffee in Ethiopia is best when its brewed at home not on the street where nowadays the coffee makers put khat in the coffee to make people addicted to the coffee. but home made coffee with a family is best for the reasons that you are surrounded by family, its authentic and not commercialized version.

Interesting coffee shop :)
God I wanna go here now. I should just get a job on the weekends at a coffee shop, actually.
That's amazing
Coffee looks wonderful - girl/woman not bad either......:-)
You got to try Guatemalan coffee. It's the most unique that I ever taste.
If you want to ask something what something is called in Amharic, you can point and say "ይህ በአማርኛ ምን ይባላል?" (yïh bä-amarïñña mïn yïbbalal?)
The Ethiopian people that make this coffee really should be charging more for it...at least charging the tourists more and not the locals.

Not From Concentrate 100% Juice i agree like 3$ per coffe should be a great deal
