All around Wadi Nisnas are many shops with so many delicious treats. You&#8217;ll find sweet treats, falafel (again, one of the best I&#8217;ve ever had in the world), and a great place for groceries.<\/p>\n<p>Wadi Nisnas is a mixed Arab, Jewish, and Christian neighborhood in Haifa, Israel. One of the things I really enjoyed about this area are the Christmas decorations. Yes, Christmas. The streets are lit with lights and many stores sell ornaments for Christmas trees.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_20446\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-20446\" style=\"width: 696px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-20446 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/edelalon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/coffee_haif_cardamom-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"696\" height=\"522\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.edelalon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/coffee_haif_cardamom-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.edelalon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/coffee_haif_cardamom-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.edelalon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/coffee_haif_cardamom-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.edelalon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/coffee_haif_cardamom-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.edelalon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/coffee_haif_cardamom-696x522.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.edelalon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/coffee_haif_cardamom-1068x801.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.edelalon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/coffee_haif_cardamom-1920x1440.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.edelalon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/coffee_haif_cardamom-560x420.jpg 560w, https:\/\/www.edelalon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/coffee_haif_cardamom-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/www.edelalon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/coffee_haif_cardamom-265x198.jpg 265w, https:\/\/www.edelalon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/coffee_haif_cardamom-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.edelalon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/coffee_haif_cardamom.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-20446\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">You can see small traces of cardamom in the coffee.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Back to the coffee. While walking down winding streets of Wadi Nisnas, there is a store that sells coffee and other items. When you walk into the store which can hold about 5 or 6 people, you&#8217;ll find Mustafa grinding coffee and mixing in a precise measurement of cardamom. To the naked eye, it might look like he is just tossing in random amounts of cardamom.<\/p>\n<p>The aroma of cardamom fills the room along with the smell of freshly roasted arab coffee. I still have about half a pound of this coffee left and I am only dreaming of heading back there to get another pound.<\/p>\n<p>For those of you who are new to this style of coffee, be warned that you will not use a filter and you will taste grounds at the end. Also, don&#8217;t add milk or sugar. We&#8217;ll, I&#8217;m sure you can but it takes away from this amazing coffee<\/p>\n<p><strong>How to brew?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The ratio of coffee to water will be 1 teaspoon and 1 oz of water. This roughly means about 8 teaspoons to 1 cup of water.<\/p>\n<p>Take the coffee and measure out 8 teaspoons and place in a small pot. Add 1 cup of water. Put over the stove and bring to a boil and quickly remove it. Let it steep for about 2 minutes. Pour in a cup and serve.<\/p>\n<p>The temperature of the water should be about 65 degrees Celsius or about 150 degrees Fahrenheit. I have tested 60 degrees Celsius and I have tested 70 degrees Celsius and I found that 65 degrees does not burn the coffee and it also brings out the flavor and caffeine.<\/p>\n<p>The next time you&#8217;re in Haifa, check out Coffee Mustafa. Ask a local and I&#8217;m sure they will point you in the right direction.<\/p>\n<p>Coffee Mustafa<br \/>\nWadi St 19, Haifa, Israel<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Not sure if it&#8217;s Coffee Mustafa or Coffee Haifa or Cafe Mustafa but it has one of the best coffee I have every tasted in the world.
