Coffee has increasingly become an indispensable part of daily work and life, at the same time, more and more people have become loyal fans of coffee, but most people simply drink coffee without paying attention to its etiquette and drinking coffee. Actually, I have my own etiquette.

1. Etiquette when delivering coffee

When someone gives you coffee, just smile and say thank you when it is put on the table. Don't get up to pick it up. It's easy to splash coffee on your hands and clothes. If you make coffee and hand it to others to drink, you must hand it with both hands. When the cup and saucer touch the table, put it gently and don't make a sound. When the coffee is delivered to the guest's hand, the ear and spoon of the coffee cup will be directed toward the guest's right hand.

2. The etiquette of getting coffee cups

Coffee has a long history. Each country has its own custom about how to hold a coffee cup. When the coffee cup is presented with the plate, hold the ear of the cup with the thumb and index finger of the right hand, and pick up the plate with the left hand, but you can't pass your fingers through the ear of the cup. However, as for the posture of holding the left hand or the right hand, it still depends on personal habits, as long as it is elegant.

3. Etiquette of drinking coffee

First of all, to taste a cup of coffee is to "smell the fragrance" and feel the original flavor of the coffee, then "watch the color" and look at the color and concentration of a cup of coffee, the best coffee is dark brown, and then "taste" to feel the sweetness and bitterness of the coffee. Finally, add sugar according to your preference. If the freshly brewed coffee is too hot, you can gently stir it in the cup with a coffee spoon to cool it, or wait for it to cool naturally. Then drink, do not use the mouth to try to cool the coffee, is a very inelegant action, the best temperature to drink hot coffee is 80 ℃, it is best to drink within 10 minutes, because the tannin in the coffee is easy to change in the cooling process, the taste becomes sour, affecting the flavor of the coffee.

4. Etiquette when inviting people to have coffee

Invite others to have a cup of coffee. If there are people who don't understand coffee, don't ask everyone to taste what beans are made after they are done, so as not to embarrass people who don't understand coffee. It's best to tell everyone the beans, methods, and what kind of coffee to make before making coffee. If they are all people in the coffee circle, unless they need to taste coffee, you should pay attention to making coffee for others. The fancy coffee is full but not overflowing.

5. Etiquette of adding sugar to coffee

If it is white sugar, you can directly use a coffee spoon to scoop the sugar into the coffee cup, but there are also small packets of sugar packed independently, which is very convenient to operate. If it is a cube sugar, you can use a sugar clip or hand to put the cube sugar on one side of the coffee plate, and then gently put the cube sugar into the cup with a coffee spoon. Note that if there is a small spoon in the public sugar jar, it is a public spoon, which can only be used to scoop up sugar, not to stir coffee; of course, do not use a private coffee spoon to scoop up the sugar in the public sugar jar when there is a public spoon.
