Meaning
Coffee brewed in a clay pot with cinnamon and piloncillo (unrefined cane sugar), the most traditional and aromatic way to drink coffee in Mexico. It smells like grandma's kitchen, a Sunday morning, and deep Mexican roots all at once. No chain coffee shop comes anywhere close to the real thing.
Examples
“Nada como un café de olla en la mañana con unos tamales.”
“Nothing beats a café de olla in the morning alongside some tamales.”
“El café de olla de mi abuela no lo supera ningún Starbucks del mundo.”
“My grandma's café de olla beats anything Starbucks could ever make.”

Clavo
+2
A big problem, a painful complication, or a situation that keeps causing trouble with no easy exit. In the Dominican Republic, Mexico, and the Caribbean, a clavo is like a nail stuck in your life: hard to pull out and hurting every time you move. Can also describe a person who only brings bad luck or drama.
