Coffee in Jordan
In Jordan, coffee is an important cultural symbol of hospitality. So when you are offered Arabic coffee by your host, do NOT say no. Once you are finished drinking and do not want to have more, shake your coffee cup from side to side. However, should you want more coffee, all you have to do is hold out your cup to the person who has the coffee pot.
In most cases, coffee is very strong and bitter.
P.S. When given a choice, I would normally refuse coffee. However, during my travels, I have learned to accept hospitality in the form of coffee (or tea) drinking.
