The etiquette of drinking coffee after dinner

Dinner coffee should be served in a small coffee cup with a coffee plate under it and a small coffee spoon. The host should inform the waiter in advance to serve coffee in the dining room or in another room.

If you drink coffee in the dining room, please pour the coffee and put the coffee cup with the plate on the right side of the table of the guest seat, and the spoon on the right end of the plate. Of course, just like pouring wine and other drinks, you have to stand on the guest's right hand, and then load the tray of cream, sugar and sugar substitute from the guest's left.

Another way to serve coffee is to put a tray of coffee cups, coffee plates, a set of coffee spoons, coffee pots, sugar and cream cans in front of the host, who will serve the guests. Note that coffee spoons are often dropped accidentally, so if a guest wants black coffee, he doesn't have to give him a coffee spoon.)

If you use coffee in another room, the waiter can first pour the coffee into a large tray and let the guests add cream or sugar. Another way is to put a tray including coffee pots, cups, plates, coffee spoons, sugar and cream cans on the coffee table in front of the sofa, where the host sits to serve the guests. When the guest comes to pick up the coffee, the host should ask him how much sugar or cream is added, and then hand the coffee cup to the guest in the right way.
