Ethiopian coffee , also known as buna, is a popular drink in Ethiopia and around the world. It is customary to drink coffee during special Ethiopian coffee: Roasting the Coffee: Open windows/door to avoid triggering the smoke detector. Clean coffee grinder, ceni, and the roasting pan. Any leftover flavor from other foods will change the taste of the coffee. Wash the green coffee beans three times with water. Turn on the stove top and set it to medium. Place the washed coffee beans on the coffee pan and start. Continuously move your hand back and forth while holding the pan for 10 minutes. You want to make sure all the beans are roasted equally. Never leave the coffee on the oven top while the gas is still on. The coffee beans will get burnt, and the taste of the coffee will be bitter. When all of the coffee beans have turned dark golden brown, take them off the stovetop. Take the pan with the roasted coffee beans to everyone in the house so that they can smell the sweet smell of roasted coffee beans. This is customary in Ethiopian culture. Place the pan with the roasted coffee beans in a place where it can cool at room temperature (takes 5 minutes). Brewing the Coffee: Grind the roasted coffee beans using the coffee grinder. Pour 2 cups of water into the gebena (an Ethiopian pot for brewing coffee). Add the grinded coffee into the gebena. Set the stovetop to medium heat. Let the gebena sit on the stove for 10 minutes. Turn off the gas as the coffee rises above the top of the gebena. Place the gebena slanted, so the grounded coffee can settle down into the bottom layer. Be careful not to move the gebena once placed; moving can cause the bottom layer of grounded coffee to be mixed with the top layer of your coffee. Serving the Coffee: Place the cines (Ethiopian small cups) on a serving board. Pour the coffee from the gebena into the cines. Serve them to your friends and family. Add sugar or salt to their coffee, based on your preference.
