Coffee that was recently brewed.
Contexto cultural
The 'Pražská kavárna' (Prague Coffeehouse) is a term used to describe the intellectual and political elite who gather in cafes to discuss social issues. The Viennese coffee house tradition heavily influenced Czechia, where coffee is served with a small glass of water to cleanse the palate. In Czech homes, offering 'čerstvá káva' is almost mandatory for any guest. It is often served with a 'buchta' or 'koláč' (sweet pastry). The 'Third Wave' coffee movement in cities like Brno and Prague has made 'čerstvě pražená káva' (freshly roasted) a major trend among young people.
