This was a great video, I love Ethiopian coffee and am currently selling an excellent natural processed coffee from Kercha, from a mill called Wonberta. The farmers in the area are generally smaller scale, and don't have the processing equipment to process the coffee cherries at the farm. Instead they carry their coffee cherries to a mill in the area. Wonberta is a little bit different/special because they have their own Export Licence, where as a lot of coffee from Ethiopia goes through the Ethiopian Commodity Exchange, which makes it harder to trace where the coffee is from. Anyway, I really enjoyed your video, it's great to see people telling a broader story about coffee rather than the mass produced cups which a majority of people are still drinking.

I had a chance to visit Addis Ababa for 4 days last December. I truly enjoyed the country and admired the people's culture and respect they have. The video shows a map of Somalia ad divided into Somalia and Somaliland; the latter the former name of a British Colony and region ruled by a certain tribe. I shows Ethiopia as a whole one country which is false. Please keep politics out of your videos otherwise show Ethiopia with all its regions and different nations! Don't spoil the video by playing politics!

I'm seriously torn about this video. On the one hand, it's full of insight about an immigrant and her relationship to her native culture. On the other hand, it's video about what is arguably the best vegan restaurant in New York, and it doesn't delve into the food. Mind you, I'm not a vegan. I'm not a vegetarian. Nonetheless, I crave the food from Bunna on a regular basis. It's that good. DO A VIDEO ABOUT THE FOOD!

Coffe culture existed way before Starbucks was even a thing in Ethiopia. What a bold understatement. Coffee is believed to been discovered in Ethiopia around the 9th century. Ethiopia is pretty much the birth of coffee culture. Starbucks on the other hand was founded in 1971. That's thousand years later. Nice video otherwise!

Multi-culturalism causes conflicts and stress at times, as can be seen lately again on the news. but it can also present beautiful and interesting interaction between different peoples that otherwise wouldn't be possible. Just pointing out an obvious fact I'm sure everyone feels and is aware of deep inside their heart.

I was about to launch a tirade against the gastronomic rubbish Eater propagates - but I'm catastrophically floored by your presenter. She is quite lovely. Therefore, in the name of the Queen - I demand her hand in marriage.

If any Londoners are watching this, there is a Horn of Africa cuisine restaurant called Red Sea in Shepherds Bush that serves coffee in this method and ritual. Food is decent too.

I like South American coffee and Kona Blend, but NOTHING beats African coffee, particularly Ethipoean coffee, and their food is amazing, so rich and seasoned.

Nice clip. There's an Ethiopian lady with a coffee stall in my area (Brixton, London. After seeing this, I will go check her out this weekend.
