The Origin and Development of Coffee Culture in Europe an important part of Life

Only at the coffee table can you see the playful side of Europeans. Gossip is spread over coffee tables, and without coffee in continental Europe, life would be half as bad. When coffee was introduced to Europe in the 17th century by a Venetian merchant who wanted nothing more than to make money, he had no idea how this mysterious little bag of black powder would revolutionize European life for centuries to come! "Sleep in the smell of perfume, wake up in the smell of coffee"-beautiful skyscrapers or quiet remote towns, if you haven't found a cafe within a hundred steps, you have to wonder if you are really in Europe.

Before coming to Sweden, the knowledge of coffee was basically rookie. The tea bar in the university has a private seat and coffee supply. I once went to drink coffee with my best friend elegantly, with salted dried peanuts. The taste of cheap coffee ruined everything I had imagined about its charms. Later I met my husband-he is a coffee day can not be separated from me, to see me, just for me to open a coffee life door. A cup of cappuccino and a piece of tiramisu in the cool coffee smell of a Starbucks cafe I've never been to. The lingering taste almost made me cry out its meaning like tiramisu: take me away.

Drinking tea should be slow, drinking coffee should be fast, a cup of hot coffee just came out, after 5 minutes do not drink it will become "poison", that cooling taste, difficult to drink as much as a bowl of Chinese medicine. Isabel, the fallen aristocrat of Chile? Allende, in his sensory memoirs, explains his coffee companion cappuccino as follows: "My favorite is CAP-GRANDE-DECAF-SOY-NON-FAT-WET-CIN-CHOC, which means: large decaffeinated cappuccino with skim soy milk, half milk and half foam, sprinkled with cinnamon powder and chocolate foam. But it is best not to say this to the Italians, the inventors of Capuchilo, who will probably think it nonsense.

After marrying her husband to Northern Europe, wherever she went, it was like walking into a rain of coffee beans sprinkled all over the sky, and cafes of all sizes were everywhere. I also learned to brew coffee and slowly fell in love with its taste: a cup of coffee in the morning, refreshing. A cup of coffee in the morning soothes a slightly hungry stomach. A cup of coffee for afternoon tea, that's pure pastime. As a pastime, dessert with coffee is definitely not sloppy. Apple pie, blueberry pie, tiramisu, cheese mousse, all kinds of small baked snacks, many names. If there is no delicious dessert, I would rather not drink this afternoon coffee.

Therefore, at this time, especially in the summer, the sun is just right, at 4 or 5 pm, the sun is warm, reading or chatting with delicious snacks, bathing in the sun, enjoying a cup of coffee, outside cafes are the best place, who asked them to have such delicious snacks!

Coffee's stimulant effect comes from caffeine, so Mormons ban coffee. In temperance countries such as Islam, alcohol and other stimulants are banned, but coffee is extremely strong. There used to be a lot of Iranian students in language classes, wearing long headscarves, huddling together at recess, setting out their baked snacks, drinking coffee and tea with sugar, laughing and laughing, just like a party at home.

Just as wine plays an important role at the Chinese dinner table, coffee plays an important role at the European negotiating table. Wine is to get someone drunk, coffee is to keep yourself awake. Once superstitious black coffee weight loss, so in order to these words, I have about half a year to insist on drinking only alcohol black coffee. Later, I really couldn't stand the stimulation of gastrointestinal tract. I learned from my husband to add milk to black coffee, 80% coffee and 20% milk. The coffee mixed out in this way can be regarded as holy. There are also many people who are used to sugar, but I always thought it was not as delicious as milk. First of all, the milk here is self-produced and belongs to the top grade. Secondly, milk can neutralize some trace toxic elements in coffee. If you add hand-baked desserts, the taste can be said to be wonderful.

The role of coffee is not only in critical moments, but also in ordinary life. If Europeans don't have that cup of coffee, it is estimated that friends and even girlfriends will have to die together. There is a saying that you can't face life without a cup of coffee in the morning.
