I’m 43 years old and I live in London. I am a diaspora myself. I am originally from Ethiopia. I love dancing. I dance all the time.

Coffee ... It all started in Ethiopia. It originated from there.

It takes about  5 minutes to make coffee and enjoy it here but in Ethiopia it's a whole different story.

We light up the cole, we set the kit ... that takes 10 minutes.

We wash the coffee bins 5

We roast it 10

We manually grind it 7

Then we boil the coffee 15 minutes

All together it takes about 45 minutes before you can have a single sip of coffee.  You have to be very patient to drink coffee in Ethiopia but we love it.
