People the world over follow a very similar ritual: wake up, grab a cup of coffee.
Where the ritual diverts, however, is in the coffee's preparation, and sometimes its ingredients.
For instance, Americans probably wouldn't consider pepper, lemon, and cheese appropriate java mix-ins, but in other cultures these are the norm.
Here's a breakdown of how coffee is drunk around the world.
Kaffeost — Finland
Hot coffee is poured over chunks of juustoleipä (cheese curds) in Finland. While it may sound unappealing, Finnish people adore the strange combo.
Türk Kahvesi — Turkey
Roasted and finely ground coffee beans are simmered in a special copper or brass pot called a cezve. Turkish coffee is special in that it is prepared unfiltered, and so the grounds settle to the bottom. Yes, that means you drink it with the grounds.
Yuanyang — Malaysia
This deliciously powerful drink, which can be served hot or cold, is three parts black coffee and seven parts Hong Kong-style milk tea, a mix of black tea and milk.
