How much do you know about basic coffee etiquette?

As the basic etiquette of daily life, learn quickly if you don't understand!

"drink while hot" is a necessary condition for tasting delicious coffee, because coffee will lose its mellow and full-bodied with the passage of time. So when making coffee, warm the cup beforehand. Coffee is best poured into the cup at 80 degrees and 61-62 degrees at the entrance. So it is best to drink within 10 minutes after brewing.

If you are not used to the taste of black coffee, you can add the right amount of sugar and milk, the order is to put sugar first, and then milk, so that the heat of the coffee fully dissolves the sugar.

The spoon on the coffee tray is only for stirring, not for scooping coffee. Don't put the spoon in the cup, put it on the left side of the coffee cup. When drinking coffee, do not hold it with both hands or hold the bottom of the cup with one hand, just hold the handle of the cup with one hand.

When drinking some fancy coffee such as foam coffee and mocha coffee, you should wipe off the cream or foam on your lips with a tissue in time. Otherwise, it is extremely indecent.

The main etiquette and restricted areas for drinking coffee are summarized as follows

1. The fingers of the end cup should not pass through the ear of the cup:

The coffee you drink after a meal is usually served in a pocket cup. The ears of this kind of cup are so small that fingers cannot pass through, so there is no need to worry about "making a fool of yourself" in full view of the public. However, when you encounter a large cup, you must remember not to carry the cup with your finger through the ear of the cup. The correct posture is to hold the cup handle and pick up the cup with your thumb and forefinger. This etiquette has been disrupted by all kinds of cups and is not a special restricted area. If not in a particularly high-end occasion, advice on how to hold the cup comfortably.)

2. After adding sugar, you don't have to stir:

When adding sugar, the sugar can be scooped with a coffee spoon and added directly to the cup, or 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. Do not directly use the sugar clip or hand to put the cube sugar into the cup to avoid spilling coffee and soiling clothes or tablecloths. After adding sugar, there is no need to stir the coffee hard, because the sugar and milk melt quickly. If you don't like sugar and milk, turn the cup ear to your right.

3. The coffee spoon is not for scooping coffee:

Add sugar and stir coffee is the "full-time" coffee spoon, use it to scoop a sip of coffee is a rude thing, and do not use it to "help" smash the cube sugar in the cup. When drinking, take it out of the cup and put it on the plate.

4. It is not elegant to cool the coffee with your mouth:

Drink coffee while it is hot. If it is too hot, gently stir it with a coffee spoon to cool it, or wait for it to cool naturally before drinking. If you try to cool your coffee with your mouth, remember that this is an impolite gesture.

5. Just carry a coffee cup when drinking:

Generally speaking, you only need to pick up the cup when drinking coffee. It would be rude to pick up the plate or hold the bottom of the cup to drink coffee. Unless there is no table to rely on, you can use the left hand to hold the plate and the right hand to hold the coffee cup ear to taste slowly. Also note that you can't hold the cup full, swallow it, and don't bow your head to the coffee cup. Don't take the coffee cup off the plate when adding coffee.

6. drink coffee and snacks "at the wrong time":

You can have a snack when drinking coffee, but you can't take a coffee cup in one hand, take a snack in the other, eat and drink alternately. Instead, you should put down the snack when you drink coffee and the coffee cup when you eat it.

7. Special reminders for guests and guests at home:

Don't treat your guests to coffee at home, especially when your guests happen to be coffee lovers, let them add their own milk and sugar, because they are very particular about it. In addition, you should carefully prepare a cup of cold boiled water for connoisseurs who know how to drink coffee, so that guests can taste coffee alternately between cold boiled water and coffee.

When drinking coffee as a guest at a friend's house, it is polite to finish the coffee while it is hot. But don't finish your coffee in one breath, sip it slowly. If you just talk and snub the coffee to cool it, that's a waste of the host's mind.

Are you enjoying your coffee at the moment? Is it because the freshly brewed coffee is so hot that you are trying hard to cool it? Are you habitually using your coffee spoon to deliver coffee to your mouth? Is it a snack in the left hand and a mouthful of coffee in the right hand? I have to tell you that you have broken into the "restricted area" of coffee etiquette when drinking coffee in this way. Walking out of the "restricted area", you may feel that you have lost the pleasure of drinking coffee freely. But only in this way can you become a person who really knows coffee and coffee.
