Coffee-infused travels

From Ethiopia to Cuba, Seattle to Colombia, there are plenty of places to take a coffee-loving trip.

Addis Ababa

Some say that Ethiopia is the birthplace of coffee. So it’s no surprise that the drink is ubiquitous in the country. If you’re invited to an Ethiopian coffee ceremony, don’t miss it. It’s a special event and one you’ll never forget. If you don’t get the chance, trust that a traditional Italian coffee shop called Tomoca will satisfy your passion for this aromatic beverage.

Havana

Cubans love their coffee, which is served thick, dark, and sweet in small cups. Coffee is grown domestically, in areas like the Sierra Maestra Mountains and Escambray, and you can find freshly ground coffee wherever you go. There are coffee shops every few steps in Havana, but Café de las Infusiones is a must-see.

Istanbul

Surprisingly, Turkish coffee is not consumed as much as tea by the locals. But don’t worry. You won’t have any trouble satisfying your caffeine cravings in Istanbul. Old-fashioned coffee shops like Etham Tezçakar Kahveci serve coffee strong enough to make your hair stand on end.

Medellín

Colombia is famous for its rich, aromatic coffee. Unfortunately, the country exports most of its coffee, leaving behind mediocre coffee for the domestic market. One exception is Le Bon Café in Medellín. You can also visit the coffee plantations in the Zona Cafetera and buy directly from the growers.

Melbourne

Melbourne’s coffee is often hailed as the best in the world, and is roasted with great care. Coffee is deeply connected to the social life of the country. Sitting down with a cup of coffee is a treat, whether you’re reading a newspaper or chatting with a friend. Coffee lovers should try Pellegrini for a truly Melbourne atmosphere. Or opt for more modern places like Proud Mary for a more exotic cup of coffee.

Rome

Living in the land of espresso, Italians take their coffee very seriously. Be as precise as the Romans when choosing this wonderful beverage: coffee, caffè macchiato, caffè lungo, cappuccino or corretto? Sant’Eustachio is the perfect place to practice your new vocabulary.

Santa María and Valle de Dota

Coffee is probably the most popular beverage in Costa Rica and you will be offered coffee everywhere you go. Understanding the benefits of coffee, in 1840, the Costa Rican government issued a decree that all road workers across the country would be given a free cup of coffee every day. Be sure to visit Santa María and Valle de Dota to get a real look at the Costa Rican coffee industry.

São Paulo

Brazilians love their coffee hot and sweet. In the morning, they have coffee with milk. Then comes cafezinho, which is regular coffee served in large or small espresso-sized cups. São Paulo has some of the best coffee shops in Brazil and don’t forget Floresta.

Seattle

If you’re a coffee lover, you can hardly complain about Seattle’s weather. Coffee, one of the best ways to cool off on a rainy day, is everywhere. Trust me, this is one of the cities where coffee is really happening. Although Seattle is the birthplace of Starbucks, the gem of Seattle coffee is Vita.

Vienna

The city is often called the “coffee capital of the world.” Vienna’s coffee shops are as famous as its music. The sheer number of shops is mind-boggling, but what makes it special is that each shop has its own unique identity and interesting ways of making coffee. With its classic look, Aida has a loyal following that loves the style.
