In informal parlance in the West, Joe.

Nice list! Just what I want first thing in the morning (or afternoon, as the case may be). I see you are already listing the Slovene and BCSM (Bosno-Croato-Serbo-Montenegrin) kava (sans accent), though Serbians seem to prefer kafa (or кафа in Cyrillic spelling). In Russian, coffee would be кофе (transliterated kofe). Also, my friends in Maryland fondly refer to this beverage as java (no matter where the beans originate).

Thanks, rolig! I need to know all this, since I am in the air; I do not know where I shall land and coffee is the first thing on my mind after landing.. ;o)

I know. It's right up there with "Please" and "Thank you." Indispensable.

Yes you dare.

Just as well. I venture not to the realms of decaf, lest someone post me a white feather.

"A symbol of cowardice?". I will happily wear white weather, if it keeps me away from all the decaffeinated stuff in the world.

See Juan Valdez. This week in our "myths and legends" class, we learned about the Ethiopian legend about the origin of the discovery of coffee, involving wired goats and an observant goatherd.

For information on assorted ways of drinking coffee in Spain, see this link.

Doesn't this page need a link to the mildly disgusting kopi luwak page?

Yes, sionnach. Yes. No. Yes. No. Yes! Bloody interesting.

I find it really interesting that almost without exception, around the world, the word for coffee starts with the "k" sound.

Makes me wonder if other common "food" stuff (like milk, bread, meat, etc.) is the same -- not the "k" sound, of course, but a common sound. My extremely limited knowledge of languages tells me, no.

Tell me about it! It is getting boring and I hear "woohoo" inside me everytime I see a word that starts with something else than "k" or "q". Interesting, though. I think I'll call my coffee nitta paisiksikimi from now on.

How about New Orleans coffee with chicory cafe du monde and beignets!

Given the proliferation of entries on this list, maybe Lea should consider writing for Wired.com.

I've read a bit lately about cold-press brewing.

Just spoke to a friend from the Dominican Republic who related to me the ingredients of a drink she prepared to calm/treat symptoms of a cold/flu she thought was coming on: beaten egg yolks, milk, freshly-brewed and strained coffee, a dram or two of some hard liquor, and grated nutmeg. All frothed by hand prior to consuming with a wooden 'batidor' like the one I purchased in Mexico in the late 1970's for frothing hot chocolate.
