The Ethiopian coffee preparation, known as a "coffee ceremony" (Buna Tetu), is a significant cultural ritual. It typically begins with the purchase of green coffee beans from the market and involves several steps:

1. Buying Green Beans: The process starts with selecting high-quality unroasted (green) coffee beans from a local market.
2. Washing and Roasting: The green beans are thoroughly washed and then roasted over an open flame in a flat pan (often a menkeskesha). The roasting is done carefully and slowly until the beans turn dark brown and release their aromatic oils. During this step, the host often passes the pan around for guests to enjoy the fresh aroma.
3. Grinding: Once roasted, the beans are traditionally ground using a mortar and pestle (mukecha and zenezena). The grinding is done just before brewing to ensure maximum freshness and flavor.
4. Brewing: The ground coffee is then transferred to a traditional Ethiopian coffee pot called a jebena. Water is added, and the jebena is placed over hot coals to brew. The coffee is brought to a boil, allowed to settle, and then poured.
5. Serving: The coffee is served in small, handleless cups called sini. The host pours the coffee from a height, ensuring the grounds remain in the jebena. Sugar is often added, but milk is rarely used. Incense is typically burned during the ceremony to enhance the atmosphere.
6. Rounds (Buna Sini): The ceremony usually involves three rounds of coffee from the same grounds, each with a slightly different strength. The first brew is called abol, the second tona, and the third baraka. Each round is an opportunity for conversation and community.
