<p dir="ltr">A friend is from Ethiopia. At dinner after a visit back home, he produced a large bag of green coffee beans, roasted them in a skillet (and set off the smoke alarm - he now does this part outside), ground the now brown/black shiny beans, poured boiling water over them and poured through a strainer into coffee cups after about 5 minutes of swirling to pot. <br>
Best<br>
Coffee<br>
EVER!</p>
<p dir="ltr">I almost cried it was so good. I didn't sleep a wink that night either. It was pretty much a cup of double strength expresso. </p>
