I think its safe to say that we all love and cherish coffee. Some of us will enjoy one cup in the morning to get our day started, while others will drink a cup every few hours. With coffee being one of the most popular beverages on the planet, it’s hard to think about all the different types of coffee that are brewed all over the world. So many people and so many cultures, everyone has their own way of preparing and drinking this delicious tonic. We’re all aware of the standard types of coffees like Americanos, Cappuccinos, Lattes, etc. but are you aware of all the different types of coffee around the world? Below I’ve listed all the various ways people like to prepare and drink their coffee around the world.

Flat White – Australia 

Flat White - Australia

This one’s fairly popular! You’ve probably heard about the Flat White or seen it at your local Starbucks. The Flat White is a bolder Latte. It’s prepared by topping up a shot of espresso with some steamed milk and an extremely thin layer of froth. The Flat white may not be as unique as all the other different types of coffee, but it’s surely a delicious classic!

Espresso – Italy

You probably already know this one! Espresso is usually made by espresso machines that push pressurized steam and water through finely-ground coffee to create a very dense coffee that is topped off with a slight froth (coffee crema). 

Frappé – Greece

Frappe - Greece

Not to get confused with the Frappuccino, the Frappé is a popular Greek iced coffee that is made from instant coffee, water, milk and sugar. It is shaken, beaten or blended to create its foamy texture and then served on ice. The drink was invented during experimentation by Dimitris Vakondios who was a Nescafe representative.

Once the coffee boils over, it is taken off the heat and traditionally served in small porcelain cups known as kahve finjanı. Many drinkers like to enjoy this delicacy with a side sweet like Turkish delight. 

Cafe De Olla – Mexico

This type of coffee is anything but average. Kopi Luwak is known to be one of the most expensive coffees in the world. It is made from partially digested coffee cherries that have been passed by Indonesian animals known as Asian palm civets. The civets love the flavor of ripe coffee cherries and when they consume the fruits they don’t fully digest the beans, leaving them behind for collection. This type of coffee has grown immensely popular and has even been brought to light by many animal rights groups due to the speculated treatment of the civets. 

Black Ivory Coffee – Thailand

Just as exclusive as Kopi Luwak, Black Ivory Coffee is a coffee brand in Thailand that specializes in the production of coffee beans that are passed by elephants. The taste of the coffee is influenced by the various food that is in the elephant’s stomach during consumption. The coffee production is very limited and is only produced by 20 elephants, making it extremely expensive. The coffee cherries and caffeine don’t have any negative effects on the elephants. 8% of the coffee sales go to the treatment of the elephants
