well, in my native tongue -- it's coffee, but, being a serious coffee drinker i've had to learn it in other languages as well. in german= cafe, in slovak = kava. and the latest language i've had to learn it in? -- text messaging language. with that T9 function (http://www.textfast.t9.com), it's 263333. do you think that the IMing kids have a new word for it? CFE or something?

heres one
we have lots of different official lingo in south africa.
i can only speak 2 (one being english and the other arfikaans)
afrikaans is a bastardised version of dutch as you all probably know and we simply call it KOFFIE.
otherwise, its just stick to just calling it coffee.
i know that in one of the native lingos they call it IKOFIE (EE-KO-FIE)
im pretty sure it is called that in south sotho.some people have pearly whites.....others drink coffee!

In Indonesia and Malaysia (plus sometimes Singapore) coffee is known as Kopi. Hence "Kopi Luwak"- literally Luwak coffee. Interesting I was just with the owners of one of the big Philippino chains. I understand Liberica or Barako is very big over there. We still have some Liberica here from the turn of century change from rust damaged arabica- Liberica- to the bulk grown robustas of today. The Liberica is interesting huh...very big cherries.
