I roast my own coffee, and Ethiopian origins (especially Harrar) are amongst my favourites. Yirgacheffe is pretty good.
I do not recommend this roasting method. As well as toxic smoke, you get a lot of 'chaff', so you need to do it outside. Also, the beans do not roast evenly. You can see from the video they are very uneven.
You need to let beans to rest for at least two days to 'de gas' after roasting them. This is important.
However, the method for making the coffee is my favourite.
I just want to say that I deeply respect your traditional way of coffee making. I believe this is a very earthy way to serve the coffee. One can guess this will taste sooooo goooood. As someone who has been an espresso lover for a long time, I'll say it again: RESPECT!
The first round is called Awell, the second Bereka and the third Dereja. It is customary to show you appreciation by telling the person who is making and serving the coffee how good the coffee is
Coffee is a very important ceremonial drink in Tigrai. The coffee ceremony is common through out the state and most of Ethiopia. Fresh beans are roasted; while they are hot and smoking they are passed around by the coffee maker usually a girl for blessing. The roasted beans are ground and served in very small richly decorated ceramic cups. The coffee is served in three rounds.
This is amazing! Thank you! :D What is the name of the song and group??
