The 5 Best Coffees From Around The World


Wherever you go in this world, people want that cup of joe. It picks you up in the morning and prepares you to face the day. But the world's best coffees don't all look alike. They're prepared differently, with different textures and flavors.

For the sake of traveling caffeine fiends, let's take a look at the best coffees from around the world.


5. White Coffee - Malaysia

Coffee in Malaysia is very different from what you'll get at Starbucks. 'Ipoh' style white coffee is roasted with palm oil. The result is a smooth white coffee with a smoky finish unlike any other.

4. Nous-Nous - Morocco

In French 'nous-nous' means 'we-we.' But in Morocco it means 'half and half.' Specifically, half coffee and half warm milk. That's the preferred method of taking coffee in Morocco. And believe us: there's no shortage of cafés in this lovely country.

3. Kaapi - India

Kaapi is a coffee preparation popular in southern India. The grounds are percolated and pulled through a traditional filter, then mixed with frothed milk. The blend is cool, refreshing, and delicious. And oh so affordable!

2. Ca Phe Sua Da - Vietnam

This is Vietnam's take on iced coffee. And boy is it tasty! First, hot water is filtered through a percolator full of grounds into a glass. A puddle of condensed milk is waiting for it at the bottom. Add some ice, stir, and you've got yourself Ca Phe Sua Da. Irresistible in the heat.

1. Coffee - Ethiopia

We have to give number one to Ethiopia. Ethiopia invented coffee; the coffee plant is in fact native to the country, and its export remains crucial to the economy. As you would expect, drinking coffee in Ethiopia in an event. The traditional consumption involves an hour of preparation that will make you appreciate our centuries-old obsession with this drink.

My bank says I can't deposit large amounts of cash without answering personal questions.

My bank says I can't deposit large amounts of cash without answering personal questions. Why do they care where my money came from?

You walk into your bank with a large amount of cash, and suddenly the teller starts asking personal questions. It can feel intrusive, especially if the money is yours and you are simply trying to deposit it. But banks are not just being nosy. They are following federal anti money laundering rules that require them to understand certain cash transactions.

My sister keeps calling me selfish because I won't co-sign her mortgage. Am I protecting myself or abandoning family?

Few money requests feel as emotionally loaded as a plea to co-sign a mortgage. It can sound like a simple act of trust, but the legal and financial consequences are anything but small. If your sister says you are selfish for saying no, the real question is whether you are refusing a favor or taking on a major debt you do not control.

My friend says paying cash at small businesses should always get you a discount. Is that expectation still realistic in 2026?

Your friend’s claim has a certain old-school charm. Hand over bills, skip the card machine, and surely the shop owner should knock a little off the price. In real life, though, whether that expectation is realistic depends on card fees, state rules, business costs, and the merchant’s own pricing strategy.

My boss says employees who work from home shouldn't expect the same raises/opportunities as everyone else. Can companies really think like that?

If your boss says remote employees should not expect the same raises as office workers, it can feel less like feedback and more like a warning shot. The issue matters because pay increases shape long term earnings, retirement savings, and even future job offers. Companies can think this way, but whether they should is a much tougher question.

My fiance says we should merge our bank accounts

My fiance says we should merge our bank accounts before we're married because "it's just easier." I'm nervous, is doing that a mistake?

“It’s just easier” is one of the most persuasive lines in any relationship, especially when wedding planning is already swallowing your time and money. A shared account can simplify bill paying, rent, and everyday spending. But before you hand over full access to your cash, it is worth asking whether “easier” today could become messier tomorrow.
