What is Cafe de Olla?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Caf\u00e9 de Olla, or Cinnamon Mexican Coffee, is a traditional spiced morning coffee. Typical spices include cinnamon, cloves, and star anise\u2014 but the exact combination varies by region and household. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s usually served black over breakfast in rural areas, where coffee-making isn’t quite as “instant” yet. Since it requires a bit of extra effort, it’s considered a specialty drink. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Does Cafe de Olla Mean?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Caf\u00e9 de olla translates to “pot-made coffee” or “coffee made in a pot.” The “pot” refers to a specific kind of clay pot, an Olla De Barro<\/a>, that the coffee is made in. It gives the drink its signature flavor. Without this pot, you can’t call it caf\u00e9 de olla in Mexico.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
