/Sounds like "cheen" (as in "cheek") + "GAHS" (as in "garden") + "teh" (as in "ten")/
Residue, dregs, or the stuff left at the bottom of a drink or food in Central America. It's that sediment nobody wants to drink, the leftovers at the bottom of the cup when the good part of the coffee is gone.
“There's only chingaste left in the coffee, we need to make more.”
“Don't drink the chingaste, it tastes horrible.”
