Drinking coffee is one of the oldest traditions and customs in most countries in the world. Every country in the world has its own coffee culture and tradition. In Turkey, drinking coffee and welcoming guests with coffee have been a very well-known tradition for a very long time. Even in small villages and small towns in Turkey, Turkish people love drinking coffee and preparing coffee for their guests and neighbours in their houses or in their gardens. Employers also enjoy drinking coffee with their staff or with their customers. This tradition and custom have been going on in our country and in our hometowns for ages. Drinking coffee makes people more sociable and talkative while spending time with their relatives, friends, neighbours, or colleagues. There are also health benefits of drinking coffee and Turkish coffee. This study deals with teaching coffee culture and the coffee museums in the world.
