First, she fanned her 'stove' to get the charcoal to catch fire-
She heated water, but that was only to wash the coffee beans which she roasted using a sieve/frying pan-
Then, she ground the beans using a mortar and steel rod-
She added the grounds to the coffee pot and we had really good tasting coffee. Three miniature cups must be drank with the third cup being the 'blessing'-
Lunch was 'special fuul" which is scrambled egg, spicy beans, onion, fresh bread and some nasty, sour tasting milk curds-
Dessert was black forest cake and another excellent coffee-
The only souvenirs available are woven cotten scarves and animal pelt stools-
Lucky you to have experienced your very own coffee ceremony, I recall you loved your coffee.

Best coffee so far on the trip. i bought some 'ginger added' grounds that are slowly killing me so I'm throwing them out and searching for better! I brought my metal French press along on this trip, no risk of it smashing like the glass ones from the last trip. It's keeping me going!
