Learn the proper way to hold a coffee cup, add sugar, stir, and sip without offending anyone. Essential etiquette for coffee lovers.

You’ve just been handed a tiny cup of espresso or a demitasse after dinner. Do you clink the handle with your fingers like a mug? Blow on it to cool it down? Stir in sugar with your spoon—and then sip loudly? If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re drinking coffee the ‘right’ way, you’re not alone. Coffee etiquette isn’t just about looking refined—it’s about respecting the craft, the cup, and everyone around you.
