Have you ever wondered how people enjoy their coffee in other countries? Whether we sip it to wake up or just love the taste, coffee has become a global ritual.

But here's the fun part — different cultures brew it in wildly different ways! Today, let's take a tour of 10 unique coffee styles from around the world. And hey, Lykkers, let us know which one you'd love to try!

1. Italy – Espresso, Straight to the Point

In Italy, coffee means espresso. It's short, strong, and fast. Italians usually drink it standing at the bar, not sitting down for a long chat. There's no sugar mountain or creamy foam — just a small cup packed with flavor. If we ever visit Rome or Milan, don't expect a giant latte. This is coffee in its purest form.

2. Turkey – Thick, Sweet, and Spiced

Turkish coffee is more than a drink; it's a ceremony. Finely ground beans are simmered with water and sugar in a long-handled pot called a cezve. The result is thick, slightly sludgy, and often flavored with cardamom. What's special? It's unfiltered. That means we drink it slowly and let the grounds settle at the bottom.

3. Sweden – Fika and Filtered

In Sweden, coffee is all about "fika" — a moment to pause with friends and a pastry. Filter coffee is most common, served black or with a bit of milk. It's not about speed, but connection. It's a reminder that sometimes we should slow down and enjoy the moment — preferably with a cinnamon bun.

4. Ethiopia – Coffee with Culture

Ethiopia is the birthplace of coffee, and drinking it here is an event. Beans are roasted, ground, and brewed in front of guests. Served in three rounds, the ceremony builds community and connection. We might even find flavors of butter or salt in some regions! It's not just coffee — it's a tradition.

5. Mexico – Cinnamon and Piloncillo

Mexican coffee is brewed in a clay pot with cinnamon sticks and piloncillo (raw cane sugar). It's warm, earthy, and comforting — like a hug in a mug. If we love spice and sweetness together, this one's for us.

6. Vietnam – Strong and Sweetly Icy

Vietnamese iced coffee is bold and sweet. We brew dark roast coffee using a metal drip filter, then pour it over condensed milk and ice. The contrast is amazing — rich and creamy, yet icy and refreshing. Perfect for hot days or coffee dessert cravings.

7. Finland – Cheese in Your Coffee?

Yes, you read that right! In Finland's northern Lapland region, there's a drink called kaffeost, where hot coffee is poured over chunks of soft, squeaky cheese called juustoleipä. The cheese soaks up the coffee and softens. It sounds wild, but it's surprisingly cozy!

8. Greece – Frothy and Cold

Greek frappé is a summer must. It's instant coffee shaken (not stirred) with sugar and a little water until it foams up, then served over ice. It's light, creamy, and foamy — totally different from hot coffee. If we're lounging by the beach, this is the coffee we want.

9. Saudi Arabia – Light Roast with Spices

Qahwa, the Saudi Arabian take on coffee, is pale in color and brewed with spices like cardamom, saffron, and cloves. It's often served in small cups with dates on the side. This version is less bitter, more herbal — and a deeply social drink meant to be shared with guests.

10. United States – Customizable and On the Go

American coffee culture is all about options. From black drip coffee to iced lattes with oat milk and caramel drizzle, we can basically design our drink from scratch. While it may not be traditional, it reflects something modern — convenience and choice. And hey, who doesn't enjoy a custom cup once in a while?

Which Style Would You Try?

We've seen how coffee transforms around the world — from salty buttered brews in Ethiopia to sweet spiced mugs in Mexico. So, Lykkers, if you could teleport to any coffee spot today, which one would it be? Are you curious to try cheese in coffee or more into sweet iced Vietnamese sips?

Let us know your favorite, and maybe, just maybe, try one of these styles at home. After all, the best part about coffee is how it connects us — across cultures, tastes, and morning routines.
