Many people in Cyprus drink coffee. They like old coffee drinks. These are Cypriot coffee and frappé. But new coffee shops are opening now. They offer a new coffee feeling.
These new places are called special coffee shops. Utu Coffee and Kollaborative are two shops. They teach people about coffee. Christos Soteriou owns Kollaborative. He says people want to learn. They like to know about coffee from one farm. This coffee tastes very good.
Special coffee beans are very good. They get high scores. They grow in special places. The taste is different from normal coffee. The coffee comes from specific farms.
Some people think special coffee is costly. But in Nicosia, it is not too much. A coffee at Utu Coffee costs €2.80. This is like big coffee shops. Bags of coffee cost €23. You can make coffee at home.
Christos Soteriou gives advice. He says try Starbucks if you cannot find good coffee. This is a good idea.
More people in Nicosia like good coffee. They want to know where it comes from. The focus is on good coffee.
