While the coffee is brewing, participants engage in lively conversation, storytelling, and laughter, fostering a sense of connection and camaraderie. The host or hostess takes great pride in serving the coffee, often pouring it from a height into small, handless cups called Sini . This pouring technique not only enhances the flavors of the coffee but also adds an element of theatrics to the ceremony.

Recently, efforts are being undertaken to boost the country's coffee productivity via new measures and generate more from the sector. This includes diversifying the country's best coffee species production and productivity. On his part, Education Minister, Prof. Birhanu Nega said,"We need to put our fingerprint on the coffee sector to achieve our development, productivity, and competitiveness in the world market. The inaugurated coffee center of excellence in Yirgacheffe is an important milestone for the nation and helps us to be competent in the world market value chain."

"Ethiopian annual coffee production reached about 7.4 million metric tons and 35-40 percent of foreign currency is contributed by coffee. Research is being done in coffee to make it productive and we have chances to switch the current annual production to double or triple rate."
