New York: A City of Immigrants – coffee set

The Bosnian coffee set connects to my background and family because it’s an important part of our culture. Bosnia was under Ottoman rule for about 500 years, and that’s where these specific designs come from. In my family, and all around Europe, drinking coffee is more than just having a drink, it’s a way to spend time together. We sit, talk, and enjoy each other’s company while drinking coffee from the traditional set. It reminds me of our culture and the value we place on family and togetherness.
