General knowledge of boutique coffee culture and taste of Amsterdam coffee

The most famous in the Netherlands is tulips, windmills, wooden shoes, and a big coffee trading country. The Dutch began drinking coffee at home at the turn of the 16th century. Until the opening of the first coffee shop in the mid-1660s, almost "no family did not drink coffee in the morning." Not only the upper-middle class, but also their servants can taste coffee. These coffee houses all have their own unique style. In particular, the black inlaid walls and shiny bronzes provide a warm atmosphere. Many coffee houses set up financial circles, where businessmen and managers often gather to talk business. In some Dutch cities, coffee houses are set up in beautiful gardens. Here, guests can enjoy coffee in the shade of trees and enjoy the beautiful scenery. This garden coffee shop is very popular in spring. The whole garden is full of flowers and tulips.

The Dutch can't live without coffee. Although they make a living by making potatoes, they can't live without coffee. The average Dutch consumes 165 litres of coffee a year, not including cold coffee used to water flowers indoors. In 1999, a 112-year-old woman in the Netherlands attributed her longevity to this popular drink.

Fresh Dutch coffee is of low price and good quality in politically stable countries, but not so in the Netherlands. Dutch troops use warm bottles of coffee when participating in NATO military exercises, and truck drivers and businessmen drink all their coffee before crossing the border on their way to other European countries, often complaining that foreign coffee is unpalatable and unwilling to drink more. There are people pushing trolleys specializing in coffee in the main railway stations and intercity trains. To be fair, Dutch coffee surpasses similar drinks in Britain and the United States. it tastes rich and fragrant, and once drunk, it is unforgettable.
