YES! East African coffee is great. Ethiopian, Ugandan, Kenyan, Tanzanian are all good. Arabica beans grown in deep rich soil makes it strong but smooth.

This is controversial but I'm a truth-teller: the best coffee is Ethiopian

And since then, expectations have changed dramatically of what constitutes an acceptable standard of living. Family would have one car. No mobile phones. No eating out. Vacations didn't include plane tickets or hotels. No streaming. Cheap education. Etc.
