I watched your video 2 years ago when you first posted. Now I understand what they mean by boiling the coffee 3 times. You mention this at the end of the video and I found a quote that clarified it for me. I love this video, Thank you! "After the first round of coffee, there are typically two additional servings. The three servings are known as abol, tona, and baraka. Each serving is progressively weaker than the first. Each cup is said to transform the spirit, and the third serving is considered to be a blessing to those who drink it."
Hi, thanks for the nice video. I visited Ethiopia a few years ago and I'm really eager to go back for more amazing coffee, music, food, history, and landscapes. Could you give a rough idea of the coffee to water ratio by weight? Cezve coffee is often 1:10, 'pour over' methods are about 60g to the litre. Really interested to compare to this, the original method.
Great question, by nature, the grinds sink to the bottom of the jebena and you have to pour it a certain way higher than the cups as you can see in the video. Also after it boils, you have to let the jebena sit for awhile and cool before pouring. And practice def helps. hope that helps a little!
growing up I refused to learn how to make coffee cuz I didn't want my mom annoying and bully me into making it for her like she used to make my older sister, (for the non habesha ppl: this is kinda a girls role in the house, but nothing wrong w guys making it but it's unusual and rare and not traditional), and she used to always get mad and tell me no is going to marry me if they find out I don't like to make coffee, or even worse if they find out I don't know how to 😂😂😂, this is a tipical guilt trip that habesha moms love to use against their daughters to get them to make coffee for them, I just wasn't offended by that kind of insult, I used to tell her "it's ok I don't even want to marry a habesha guy anyways", which would make her blood boil😂 that's when she'd throw at me anything that's near her! and now i want to learn in secret and surprise her, i mean i've made it like 6 times before, but i was always given instruction on how much water and coffee to use so i feel like i didn't do it all on my own, but thanks for the video lol!
My favorite way of drinking Bunna is to put a few local grass in the coffee cup and pour the hot coffee in it,. Hot coffee instantly brings out the magical smell of that grass, and when they are combined, the taste is unforgettable. However, I don't know how to say that grass in English.
Hi Simon you described it as grass so not sure but if you are referring to Tenadam which is commonly dipped in traditional Ethiopian coffee I believe it's Rough Chervil in English

how do you ensure none of the grind ends up in the cup? i know typical jebenas use a horsehair filter, but dont the grinds still slip past it?

Tilt the jebena towards the spout for 30 seconds before drinking.
How do I ready my jebena before using it
How much coffee do you use?

This is probably a long shot, but I just bought a jebena and discovered it has a leak near the bottom. Do you know if it can be fixed?
patch it with some clay that's heat resistant
Where's the best place to buy the coals to burn ?
Bravissima
Just curious, What incense is burned during the coffee ceremony.
Boswellia papyrifera
Frankincense
