From Ethiopia to Cuba, Seattle to Colombia, which is your top choice for caffeine-fueled travel?
1. Addis Ababa
Some claim that Ethiopia is coffee’s birthplace, so it is not surprising that the good stuff is ubiquitous here. If you are invited to an Ethiopian coffee ceremony, do not miss it: it is a unique and elaborate ritual that you will never forget. If not, there is always Tomoca, a traditional Italian-style café that is guaranteed to please.
2. Havana Cubans love their coffee, which is served strong, black and sweet in small espresso-sized cups. Homegrown in the Escambray and Sierra Maestra Mountains, a fresh brew will be brought out as an icebreaker wherever you go. Coffee houses are sprouting by the minute in Havana, but you cannot go past local classic, Café de las Infusiones.
3. Istanbul Surprisingly, Türk kahve (Turkish coffee) is not as widely consumed in its homeland as çay (tea). But do not worry: you will have no trouble getting your caffeine fix in Istanbul. Traditional coffee houses like Etham Tezçakar Kahveci serve a brew thick and powerful enough to put hair on your chest!
