Coffee Time
I find it amazing that coffee is consumed in nearly all the world. One of these brass coffee pots is Indian and the other is from Zanzibar. It is actually a miniature replica of the amazing containers that the coffee vendors carried around the city. The section at the bottom with the holes is where the coals were to keep the coffee warm. The little pail was for washing the cups. They would clink the cups together in a musical way to let people know that they were coming by. The coffee was as thick as syrup and no doubt wonderful...unfortunately back then I was deemed to young to partake. I have more than made up for it since.
