Abstract
The article analyzes the coffee traditions of Ethiopia. It is shown what kind of culture the coffee grain has formed around itself. The coffee culture of Ethiopia is interesting for its dissimilarity with the European one. For African countries that grow coffee, it is not just a drink or a meal. The Ethiopian proverb says: «Coffee is our bread» («Buna dabo naw»). Coffee for Ethiopia is life itself. The most important coffee ritual of the country is the ceremony of buna (coffee ceremony). The ceremony accompanies every day, as well as especially significant events in the life of the family and community. It is inherent in a fairly strict ritual and the using of certain instruments, such as jebena. It has deep religious roots, and also plays a significant social role, especially in women's lives
