New Express News: would you like to come if there is a cafe that offers free biscuits, unconditional refills and unlimited free WIFI, which are charged only according to your time in the cafe? According to the Daily Mail 9, Britain's first "charge on time" cafe Ziferblat, which provides unlimited biscuits and tea, costs you only 3 pence per minute.

Get the clock before entering the door.

Coffee biscuits do it yourself.

According to the Daily Mail, Ziferblat Cafe is located in east London. After entering the cafe, guests can pick up a clock at the counter and take this clock to the counter to check out when they leave.

This cafe has tables and chairs that are different from ordinary cafes, a unique piano and some sets of books.

In this cafe, guests can go in and out of the kitchen at will, make their own coffee, prepare other food, and even wash all the dishes they have used.

This model has proved to be effective in Russia. The owner of the cafe, Ivan Mijing, has opened eight branches in Russia, and about 30,000 customers go to spend money every month. According to Mijing, the cafe has attracted a lot of regular visitors.

Think of this as a family.

Someone helps wash other people's cups and saucers.

In an interview with the Daily Mail, Mijing said his original intention was to use the cafe to create a "free space" where people are more like "mini tenants" than ordinary guests.

Here, these "mini tenants" can use professional coffee machines to make coffee, prepare their own food in the kitchen, or just pick up ready-made food, as if they were at home.

"Londoners understand this concept very well," says Mr Meeking. But it was funny to see so many people waiting in line to wash the dishes. This is not an obligation, but we recommend it. The funniest thing is that there are people who wash dishes that other people have used. This is good. We hope that customers who come here will treat themselves as mini tenants and share this space together. "

■ is full of tongues

@ Regina:oh, sure enough, only people in a "high-end" place like East London can experience it!

@ rsb.: dare not even charge for air!

@ ollie23: I'm surprised it's not 3 pounds per minute in London.

Kerry_NZ: that's a good idea, but do you have to pay for washing dishes?

@ susie: I don't want to use dishes that someone else washes in a few seconds!
