What is coffee?

Coffee is a powder made from corn grains , roasted and ground in a traditional way, without any artificial additives. What makes coffee unique is its versatility: it can be served hot in the winter or cold in the summer, making it a rich and versatile daily beverage.

When coffee powder is mixed with cold water or cold milk , the drink is known as “marees,” and is served as a refreshing drink in desert areas, especially during hot summer days.

Maris is widely consumed in southern Morocco, not only for its taste, but also for its ability to hydrate the body and provide natural energy without the need for processed ingredients.
