Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Country of Origin: Italy Ingredients: Espresso, frothed milk Meaning "stained" or "marked", what type of Italian "caffè" can be recognized around the world due to the milk that is added to the top of the beverage and often made into various shapes?

Answer: Macchiato

Traditionally in caffè macchiato, the "stain" is milk that marks the top of the coffee, which was later replaced with frothed milk or foamed milk. It can be served "caldo" (hot) or "freddo" (cold), depending on your preference.

This style of coffee is well-known for its aesthetic appeal, as would-be artists make wonderful white foam creations atop their beverage.
2. Country of Origin: Austria Ingredients: Espresso, egg yolk, brown sugar, whipped cream This type of coffee is known as "Wiener Melange" in German and originates from Austria. With whipped cream, it is more properly an "espresso con panna", though if you were to order a cup in Vienna, you might have to ask for what item, named after an order of monks?

Answer: Franziskaner

Usually, a "Wiener Melange" has frothed milk while a "Franziskaner" has whipped cream, though the terms are sometimes used interchangeably. It is similar to a cappuccino.

Interestingly, both "Franziskaner" and "cappuccino" are both named after monastic orders! "Franziskaner" is named for the Franciscans and "cappuccino" is named after the Capuchin monks. Those monks must have liked coffee!
3. Country of Origin: Cuba Ingredients: Espresso, demerara sugar Café Cubano, is of course, Cuban in origin. It is also an espresso-based drink flavored with a special kind of sugar known as demerara sugar. What type of sugar is demerara?

Answer: Brown sugar

Demerara sugar is a brown sugar with less molasses than other brown sugars, and is used in Cuba to flavor coffee. Often, Café Cubano is sweeter than other sugared coffees due to the demerara sugar hydrolyzing in the heat of the drink.
4. Country of Origin: China Ingredients: Coffee, milk tea Yuanyang is a coffee beverage that gets the best of both worlds if you like coffee as well as tea, which is flavored with milk. The beverage is especially popular in what semi-autonomous city in China?

Answer: Hong Kong

Hong Kong is mostly where you will find the consumption of "yuanyang", which uses Hong Kong-style milk tea, a mixture of milk and black tea. Add some coffee and you have "yuanyang", which was named after the Mandarin duck.
5. Country of Origin: Brazil Ingredients: Espresso, sugar After entering a shop in Brazil, you may be immediately assaulted with offers of this beverage, which typically comes in a small cup. Literally, the name means "little coffee" in Portuguese. What is it?

Answer: Cafezinho

It is very common to have a business meeting or coffee date with a round of cafezinho, and in fact, most shop owners will insist when you enter their establishment. Brazilians drink their coffee with copious amounts of sugar, though milk is becoming slightly more common.
6. Country of Origin: United States Ingredients: Espresso, drip coffee The name of what highly-caffeinated American beverage comes from the practice of flying across the country from the West Coast to the East Coast?

Answer: Red eye

Coffee with an extra kick, the red eye is fortified with espresso to make those instances where one needs to stay awake that much easier. A "red-eye flight" is usually an overnight flight, and in the U.S. it often refers to flights from California to New York/D.C.
7. Country of Origin: Ireland Ingredients: Coffee, Irish whiskey, brown sugar, cream Irish coffee traditionally doesn't have whipped cream, but many businesses serve the drink with it instead of regular cream. The beverage is meant to be drunk through the cream, and not with a straw or stirred in. What drinkware is it meant to be consumed from?

Answer: Irish coffee mug

Irish coffee mugs are often made from glass, and are raised with a stem. The coffee is served hot, though many iced version have been known to be served as well. The addition of Irish whiskey means that it is served not only in restaurants, but often in bars as well.
8. Country of Origin: Turkey Ingredients: Ground coffee, cold water, (?) mystery ingredient Turkish coffee begins with finely ground coffee and cold water, then boiled in a "cezve". Sugar can be added during the process, but isn't always. One last ingredient is often added; what type of seedy spice is it?

Answer: Cardamom

Cardamom is the third most expensive spice by weight, after saffron and pure vanilla, making it a more prestigious preparation when considering Turkish coffee. Turkish coffee has a long tradition in many countries, but is slowly being replaced by other hot beverages, such as tea.
9. Country of Origin: Ethiopia Ingredients: Coffee, salt The most popular species of plant used to make coffee (Coffea arabica) actually originates from Ethiopia, so it is not a surprise that coffee-drinking is a longstanding tradition in the country. "Jabena bunna" is a type of coffee that uses only salt to flavor the drink. Why was salt used instead of sugar in early Ethiopian coffee history?

Answer: Sugar was not available in rural areas

Salt with coffee is definitely a novel idea, but in Ethiopia it was and is used in rural areas, who didn't have access to sugar. Sometimes the coffee was also flavored with ginger.
10. Country of Origin: Germany Ingredients: Coffee, rum, sugar cubes, whipped cream This German coffee was invented in 1872 at a baby christening so that a local pastor wouldn't be angry that his adherents were drinking alcohol. The whipped cream on top was meant to keep the aroma of rum from escaping. When the pastor figured out the game, he yelled what Biblical name to the party-goers, which became the name of the beverage?

Answer: Pharisäer!

The phrase the pastor shouted was "Ihr Pharisäer!" which means, "You Pharisees!", an insult to those who had tricked him.

Pharisäer is meant to be drunk through the cream, much like Irish coffee, and not stirred in. If you do happen to find yourself stirring the cream, you would be breaking the tradition which allowed the villagers to hide the rum! Your German hosts might then make you buy them a round.
