Some etiquette of drinking coffee that you must know.

Everyone should be familiar with the etiquette of drinking tea, but how much do you know about the etiquette of drinking coffee in the West? When dealing with people, there are often occasions to drink coffee together, so coffee etiquette is indispensable.

Next, with the editor of China Coffee Network, take a look at the etiquette that you often need to pay attention to when drinking coffee:

1. The correct posture for holding a coffee cup: in a western restaurant, what you drink after a meal is often coffee, which is half the amount of ordinary coffee. And the cup that holds the coffee, the ear of the cup is very small, the finger cannot pass through. The correct way to hold it is to pick up the cup with your index finger and thumb.

2. When the waiter serves coffee, be sure to point the ear of the cup to the left of the customer so that the customer can hold the ear with sugar and milk. You don't have to hold it too tightly, and you don't have to stir hard to spill coffee, because sugar and milk will soon melt. If you don't like those with sugar and milk, turn the ear of the cup to your right. Sugar is usually added first and then milk.

3. The coffee spoon is specially used to stir the coffee. When drinking the coffee, you should take it out instead of using the coffee spoon to scoop the coffee spoon and drink it slowly, and do not use the coffee spoon to mash the cube sugar in the cup. The just-made coffee is too hot. You can gently stir it in the cup with a coffee spoon to cool it, or wait for it to cool naturally. It is very impolite to try to cool the coffee with your mouth.

4. When you finish using the spoon, put it on the plate, not in the cup. This looks indecent, and it will accidentally knock the spoon to the ground. It would be rude to scoop coffee with a spoon, pick up the plate or hold the bottom of the cup to drink coffee. You can't pick up a plate to drink unless you have a cocktail party or there is no table.

5. Coffee cups and saucers are specially made. They should be placed on the front or right side of the drinker, with the cup ear pointing to the right. When drinking, you can hold the cup ear of the coffee in your right hand and gently hold the coffee plate in your left hand. Slowly move to your mouth and sip. Do not hold the cup, swallow, nor bow to the coffee cup; do not make a sound when drinking coffee; when adding coffee, pick up the unwanted coffee cup from the coffee plate.

6. when inviting guests for coffee at home, it should be noted that coffee lovers are often very particular about whether to add sugar and milk, it is best to let the guests do as they please, and the host does not have to do it for him. In addition, the host should also prepare another cup of cold boiled water for the connoisseur who knows how to drink coffee, so that it can be tasted alternately with coffee to make the taste more pure.

7. when drinking coffee as a guest at a friend's house, you should pay attention to: finish the coffee while it is hot, you are welcome. If you just talk and let the coffee cool, it will go against the sincerity of the host. Spoons are used for stirring. Put them on the edge of the plate after use, not to scoop coffee. Don't finish your coffee in one breath, but sip it slowly. It is polite to drink all the coffee.

8. Sometimes you can have some snacks when drinking coffee, but don't alternate between eating and drinking coffee cups in one hand and snacks in the other. You should put down the snack when you drink coffee and the coffee cup when you eat it.
