뜻
To prepare a beverage made from roasted coffee beans.
문화적 배경
Coffee is often made in large 'drip' pots and consumed throughout the morning. Offering to 'make a fresh pot' is a common office courtesy. While 'make coffee' is used, the method is usually a Moka pot or espresso machine. Coffee is often made quickly and drunk standing up. Making coffee (Buna) is a ceremonial process that can take over an hour, involving roasting green beans by hand. Turkish coffee is 'made' in a cezve (small pot) and is much thicker than Western coffee. The process is very specific.
The 'Kitchen Rule'
