The �olla� is made of clay, rough on the outside and glazed on the inside, pot-bellied and homely. It sits on every market, street and restaurant stove across the country and is used for making one of Mexico�s favourite breakfast drinks: �caf� de olla�, coffee from the pot. Flavoured with cinnamon and unrefined raw sugar, it is aromatic and satisfying so if a cup of coffee is a regular part of your day, try a Mexican-style caf� for a change.
