What is the best way to drink coffee?

How to drink coffee: generally speaking, tasting the coffee served by your host while it is hot is the basic etiquette of drinking coffee. However, it should be noted that drinking coffee is not like drinking plain boiled water, drinking all the cups in one breath, and drinking coffee is not like drinking tea or juice, you can drink several cups in succession, so that the host will laugh at you or think you are rude.

When a cup of coffee is brought to you, don't rush to drink it. There should be a gradual process like tea or wine tasting, so as to achieve the goal of relaxation, refreshing and enjoyment. A coffee connoisseur will first experience the strong fragrance when the coffee is served, that is, take a deep breath into the coffee cup, and all the beauty is here. Then, blow open the coffee oil and take a sip, which is the original flavor of the coffee, and then add sugar and milk as you like.

The correct way to hold a coffee cup is to hold the ear of the cup by your thumb and forefinger and lift the cup. When drinking coffee, hold the coffee cup ear in your right hand and hold the coffee plate gently in your left hand, slowly move to your mouth and sip gently, do not make a sound. Don't hold the cup, swallow, or bow to drink coffee. If you encounter some inconvenient situations, such as sitting on a sofa away from the table and inconvenient to drink coffee with both hands, you can place the plate on the chest with your left hand and drink the coffee cup with your right hand. After drinking, you should immediately put the coffee cup on the coffee plate, not the two separately. When adding coffee, do not pick up the coffee cup from the coffee plate.

The way to add sugar: add sugar lightly. When adding sugar to coffee, there are two situations: one is to add sugar, which can be scooped with a coffee spoon and added directly into the cup. At the same time, in order to avoid spilling coffee, the position should be as low as possible. The other is plus cube sugar, you can first use a sugar clip to clip the cube sugar on the near side of the coffee plate, and then add the cube sugar to the cup with a coffee spoon. If you put the cube sugar into the cup with a sugar clip or hand, it may spill the coffee and stain the clothes or tablecloth, which is extremely impolite.

Use of coffee spoons: coffee spoons are specially used to stir coffee. Coffee will be stained with coffee spoons. Gently wipe off the juice along the inner edge of the cup. Never pick up the spoon and shake it, or lick the coffee spoon with your tongue. It is best to put the used spoon on the inside of the tray so as not to knock it off when picking up the coffee cup. Do not use a coffee spoon to drink a spoonful of coffee, and do not use a coffee spoon to mash the cube sugar in the cup.

The standard stirring technique is to place the coffee spoon in the center of the coffee cup, circle clockwise from the inside to the outside, then circle the cup wall counterclockwise to the center, and then repeat the same technique to make the coffee even.
