The United States: there are no taboos for Americans to drink coffee, like playing a game without rules, laissez-faire, no taboos. Americans are dismissive of all kinds of exquisite coffee made by Europeans. Americans drink coffee freely, and at the same time, coffee goes deep into their lives and is difficult to separate, and the influence is so deep that it is not considered a life without coffee. It is said that the Apollo 13 spacecraft, which carried a man to the moon for the first time, had a life-and-death failure on its way home. At that time, the ground crew comforted the three astronauts by saying, "come on!" Delicious hot coffee is waiting for your return. Americans can't do without coffee almost 24 hours a day, whether at home, in the office, in public, or at a roadside vending machine. This consumes 1/3 of the world's coffee production and is the country with the largest coffee consumption in the world.

Generally speaking, life in the United States is relatively busy and tense, unlike people in Europe and the Middle East who are able to enjoy life in a leisurely mood. When drinking coffee, it is often a large pot of electrothermal filtered coffee (Drip Coffee Marker). From morning to night, because there is too much water and less coffee (10 grams of coffee in a cup of water to 200 cc of water), the taste is particularly weak, so many people criticize that American coffee is really bad. In fact, in all parts of the United States, coffee lovers can still taste their favorite coffee taste with a little more effort. If pure American coffee is divided into two categories, the east coast of the United States is stronger than the west coast, and the south is stronger than the north. Ethnically speaking, immigrants from southern Europe and Latinos prefer strong coffee to those from Britain, Germany and northern Europe.

Central and northern Europe: not as enthusiastic as the Italians or as romantic as the French. People in central and northern Europe drink coffee rationally and gently, just like their organized nationality. European life and coffee have almost formed an inseparable link, except for the different coffee drinking methods in Italy and France, from Austria, Switzerland, Germany, and even several Nordic countries, it can be said that the habits and tastes of coffee are more or less the same. they are well aware of the golden mean and belong to the taste of medium concentration.

Turkey: breathtaking coffee in the ancient Middle East is like the legendary myth of "1001 Nights". It can not only help get close to God, but also wash away the clear spring of sadness. Like the Chinese tea ceremony, they are particular about drinking coffee, not only burning incense, but also sprinkling spices and smelling incense, and the dazzling variety of coffee pots make it full of Arabian Nights style. A cup of Middle Eastern coffee with cloves, cardamom and cinnamon is full of fragrance when it is hot. No wonder Arabs praise it as breathtaking as musk.

Italy: enthusiastic sightseeing in Italy should focus on two things: one is men, and the other is coffee. There is a famous saying in Italy: men should be like good coffee, strong and enthusiastic! Italian coffee, named Espresso in English, has been widely known by coffee lovers in China in recent years. This kind of pure black coffee, thick and hot, with a layer of golden foam floating on its surface, is like the devil escaped from hell, making people fall into its unspeakable charm as soon as they drink it.

France: I once heard that France drank less coffee because of a shortage of coffee, and immediately saw more people taking a nap. It may seem like an exaggeration, but it is true that the French are addicted to coffee. The French seem to pay attention not only to the taste, but also to the environment and atmosphere. Most of them do not want to drink alone behind closed doors, but take part in the fun outside, even if the price of a small cup is enough to make a pot at home. They did not drink hurriedly, but tasted slowly, tasted carefully, read books and newspapers, talked about it, and drank it for most of the day. French people develop this habit of drinking coffee, whether they consciously express a kind of elegant charm, a kind of romantic sentiment, a kind of freehand feeling of enjoying life. It can be said that this is a traditional and unique coffee culture. Because of this, the places where people can rest and drink coffee in France can be said to be all over the streets, roadsides, squares, riverbanks, cruise ships, and even the Eiffel Tower. And the form, style, size are not limited to one style, there are coffee shops, restaurants, halls, rooms. And the most popular and romantic ones are those open-air cafes, which are almost a portrayal of French life. No wonder the tasteful French have a traditional saying that it may be more difficult to get someone to change a cafe by the Seine than to change a religion! In an authentic cafe, regular customers not only never change their coffee shop easily, but also have a fixed time to come to the cafe and the habit of which coffee table to sit on. Of course, this loyal relationship is also reflected in the hospitable and tireless host, without greeting, the old waiter who is familiar with his frequent customers' temper and hobby will bring his favorite kind of coffee, accompanied by a plate of special snacks, and even bring his favorite newspapers and periodicals, needless to say thank you, which are taken for granted in an authentic cafe.

China: the influence of instant coffee in China. In China, people like to drink coffee more and more. The "coffee culture" that follows is full of every moment of life. People are tasting coffee at home, in the office, or on various social occasions: it is gradually associated with fashion and modern life. Coffee houses everywhere have become good places for people to talk, listen to music and rest. Coffee gradually developed into a culture. Whether it's freshly ground coffee beans. Or just brewed hot coffee, are emitting a rich aroma, intoxicating. There are many ways to savor this intoxication: Italian espresso (Espresso), (latte), Cappuccino (cappuccino), flavored coffee; they offer a variety of options for coffee shop patrons in Beijing, Shanghai and other big cities in China. Chinese people also gradually like to make their own coffee. Using roasted coffee beans, filter pots and filter paper to make a cup of fresh coffee also has a different taste. With coffee, a drink with a long history, coffee is being accepted by more and more Chinese people. There are data that show. China's coffee consumption is increasing year by year, and is expected to become an important coffee consumer in the world.

Japan: coffee was first introduced to Japan in Nagasaki during the Yuanlu period. And people officially accepted it from the Meiji era. The real popularity began in the middle of Meiji. Members of the founding literary magazine Hiroshi Kitahara, Woodpecker Ishikawa, Kwangtaro Takamura, Haruo Sato, and Hefeng Nagai meet each month at the "Hung Nest" venue in Hashimachi, Japan. In that shop, you can drink authentic French cuisine and foreign wine, and coffee is also authentic French deep-roasted coffee. The nest of Hong is like a social field for literati. From the Meiji era to the Taisho era, cultural salons like this did help create several coffee houses, and Japan finally entered the culture of coffee. However, it is still a rare shop for ordinary people.

South Korea: influenced by American Coffee
