Coffee

Windhoek, Namibia

I drank a bowl of coffee today. Yes, you read right, a bowl. We went to the Namibian Craft Center for lunch and one of their specialties is coffee in a bowl. I felt like a cat. Anyway, I had a great time. I bought an elephant pendant from one of the craft companies that sells their goods there. The nice thing about this craft store is that everything is guaranteed to be made in Namibia. Many of the things sold other places are not made in Namibia.

The coffee here is nothing to write home about. Most people drink mix coffee and sometimes you can get ok coffee in a restaurant. Nothing like Starbucks. I have been privileged to enjoy two cups of coffee made in a French Press by one of the volunteers.

Another drink that is sorely lacking in quality and variety is beer. There are two main brands sold here, Windhoek Lager or Draught and Tafel Lager. There are a few others but they are harder to come by and I have seen no advertisements for them.

They have plenty of juice, though.

Peace, love and giraffes,
