The World Runs on Coffee Trivia Quiz

Answer: Macchiato

Traditionally in caffè macchiato, the "stain" is milk that marks the top of the coffee, which was later replaced with frothed milk or foamed milk. It can be served "caldo" (hot) or "freddo" (cold), depending on your preference.

This style of coffee is well-known for its aesthetic appeal, as would-be artists make wonderful white foam creations atop their beverage.

Answer: Franziskaner

Usually, a "Wiener Melange" has frothed milk while a "Franziskaner" has whipped cream, though the terms are sometimes used interchangeably. It is similar to a cappuccino.

Interestingly, both "Franziskaner" and "cappuccino" are both named after monastic orders! "Franziskaner" is named for the Franciscans and "cappuccino" is named after the Capuchin monks. Those monks must have liked coffee!

Answer: Brown sugar

Demerara sugar is a brown sugar with less molasses than other brown sugars, and is used in Cuba to flavor coffee. Often, Café Cubano is sweeter than other sugared coffees due to the demerara sugar hydrolyzing in the heat of the drink.

Answer: Hong Kong

Hong Kong is mostly where you will find the consumption of "yuanyang", which uses Hong Kong-style milk tea, a mixture of milk and black tea. Add some coffee and you have "yuanyang", which was named after the Mandarin duck.

Answer: Cafezinho

It is very common to have a business meeting or coffee date with a round of cafezinho, and in fact, most shop owners will insist when you enter their establishment. Brazilians drink their coffee with copious amounts of sugar, though milk is becoming slightly more common.

Answer: Red eye

Coffee with an extra kick, the red eye is fortified with espresso to make those instances where one needs to stay awake that much easier. A "red-eye flight" is usually an overnight flight, and in the U.S. it often refers to flights from California to New York/D.C.

Answer: Irish coffee mug

Irish coffee mugs are often made from glass, and are raised with a stem. The coffee is served hot, though many iced version have been known to be served as well. The addition of Irish whiskey means that it is served not only in restaurants, but often in bars as well.

Answer: Cardamom

Cardamom is the third most expensive spice by weight, after saffron and pure vanilla, making it a more prestigious preparation when considering Turkish coffee. Turkish coffee has a long tradition in many countries, but is slowly being replaced by other hot beverages, such as tea.

Answer: Sugar was not available in rural areas

Salt with coffee is definitely a novel idea, but in Ethiopia it was and is used in rural areas, who didn't have access to sugar. Sometimes the coffee was also flavored with ginger.

Answer: Pharisäer!

The phrase the pastor shouted was "Ihr Pharisäer!" which means, "You Pharisees!", an insult to those who had tricked him.

Pharisäer is meant to be drunk through the cream, much like Irish coffee, and not stirred in. If you do happen to find yourself stirring the cream, you would be breaking the tradition which allowed the villagers to hide the rum! Your German hosts might then make you buy them a round.
