The hot beverage that Palestinians consume is coffee – served in the morning and throughout the day.
The coffee of choice is usually Arabic coffee.
Arabic coffee is similar to Turkish coffee, but the former is spiced with cardamom and is usually unsweetened.
Among Bedouins and most other Arabs throughout the region of Palestine, bitter coffee, known as qahwah sadah (Lit.
plain coffee), was a symbol of hospitality.
Pouring the drink was ceremonial; it would involve the host or his eldest son moving clockwise among guests – who were judged by age and status – pouring coffee into tiny cups from a brass pot.
It was considered "polite" for guests to accept only three cups of coffee and then end their last cup by saying daymen, meaning "always", but intending to mean "may you always have the means to serve coffee".

In Lebanon, the coffee is prepared in a long-handled coffee pot called "rakwe".
Coffee is poured directly from "rakwe" to a small cup that is adorned with a decorative pattern, known as a finjān.
The finjān has a capacity of 60-90 ml (2-3 oz fl).
Lebanese coffee is traditionally strong and black and is similar to the coffee of other Middle Eastern countries.
However it differs in its beans and roast, where the blonde and dark beans are mixed together.
It is also ground into a very particle like size.
It is often joked that a Lebanese person who does not drink coffee is in danger of losing their nationality.

Drinks in Syria vary depending on the time of day and the occasion.
Arabic coffee is the most well-known hot drink usually prepared in the morning at breakfast or in the evening.
It is usually served for guests or after food.

Arabic coffee is much more than just a drink in Jordan – it is a traditional sign of respect and a way to bring people together.
Black, cardamom-flavored Arabic coffee, also known as qahwah sādah (welcome coffee), deeply ingrained in Jordanian culture.
Providing coffee (and tea) to guests is a large part of the intimate hospitality of the Hashemite Kingdom.
