The elegance of dancers starts with coffee etiquette.

Often sitting in a quiet cafe, talking eloquently with bosom friends and close friends, regardless of the topic, there is an unspeakable understanding of joy and tacit understanding. Sometimes not about a person, alone in a daze, but also casual and leisurely. Coffee has a strong fragrance to the bone, knowing the joys and sorrows, giving the soul a warm companionship. Coffee is imported, the hot fragrance is as strong as sports dance (ballroom dance), a little wild, a little unruly, but it is a revealing of life emotion. In the occasion of sports dance, we often need to drink coffee together, so what are the coffee etiquette?

Matters needing attention in drinking coffee

1. The fingers of the end cup do not pass through the ear of the cup.

The coffee you drink after a meal is usually served in a pocket cup. The ears of this kind of cup are so small that fingers cannot pass through, so there is no need to worry about "making a fool of yourself" in full view of the public. However, when you encounter a large cup, you must remember not to carry the cup with your finger through the ear of the cup. The correct posture is to hold the handle of the cup with your thumb and forefinger and then pick up the cup.

2. you don't have to stir hard after adding sugar.

Many people like to add sugar to their coffee, but in fact, they also pay attention to sugar in a good cup of coffee. In order to save costs, most coffee shops will choose white granulated sugar, but it will affect the original taste of coffee. The really good coffee sugar should be raw sugar, also known as yellow sugar, large particles, yellowing color, put on the foam of fancy coffee, will not sink for a long time.

When adding sugar to the coffee, the sugar can be scooped out with a coffee spoon and added directly to the cup, but now the sugar bag in a separate small package is very easy to operate. You can also use a sugar clip to clip the cube sugar on the near side of the coffee plate, and then add the cube sugar to the cup with a coffee spoon. If you directly use the sugar clip or hand to put the cube sugar into the cup, it may spill the coffee and stain the clothes or tablecloth, which is extremely impolite. After adding sugar, there is no need to stir the coffee hard, because the sugar and milk will soon melt.

3. The coffee spoon is not for scooping coffee

The coffee spoon is specially used to stir the coffee. You should take it out when drinking the coffee. Do not use the coffee spoon to scoop the coffee spoon and drink it one by one, and do not use the coffee spoon to crush the cube sugar in the cup. Coffee spoons that have been stirred will be stained with coffee. Gently wipe off the juice along the inner edge of the cup. Never pick up the spoon and shake it, or lick the spoon with your tongue. It is best to put the used spoon on the inside of the tray so as not to knock it off when picking up the coffee cup. The standard stirring technique is to place the coffee spoon in the center of the coffee cup, circle clockwise from the inside to the outside, then circle the cup wall counterclockwise to the center, and then repeat the same technique to make the coffee even.

4. It is not elegant to cool the coffee with your mouth

Drink coffee while it is hot. If it is too hot, gently stir it with a coffee spoon to cool it, or wait for it to cool naturally before drinking. If you try to cool your coffee with your mouth, remember that this is an impolite gesture.

5. Just carry the coffee cup when drinking

Generally speaking, when drinking coffee, just pick up the cup, if you pick up the plate or hold the bottom of the cup to drink coffee, it is impolite. Also be careful not to swallow or bow your head to the coffee cup. Don't take the coffee cup off the plate when adding coffee.

6. Coffee and snacks should be carried out at the wrong time.

You can have a snack when drinking coffee, but you can't take a coffee cup in one hand, take a snack in the other, eat and drink alternately. You should put down the snack when you drink coffee and the coffee cup when you eat it.

7. Coffee needs to be drunk while it is hot

Tasting the coffee served by your host while it is hot is the basic etiquette of drinking coffee. The best temperature for coffee is about 80 ℃. Because the texture of ordinary coffee is not stable, it is best to taste it while it is hot. In order not to reduce the taste of the coffee, preheat the coffee cup in advance. The appropriate temperature for coffee is 83 ℃ at the moment of brewing, 80 ℃ when it is poured into the cup, and 61-62 ℃ into the mouth.

However, it should be noted that drinking coffee is not like drinking boiled water, drinking all the cups in one breath, and drinking coffee is not like drinking tea or juice, you can drink several cups in succession, that way, others will think you are very rude. When a cup of coffee is brought to you, don't rush to drink it. There should be a gradual process like tea or wine tasting, so as to achieve the goal of relaxation, refreshing and enjoyment. A coffee connoisseur will certainly experience the strong aroma from the nostrils at the moment the coffee is served, take a deep breath into the coffee cup, then blow open the coffee oil and take a sip, which is the original taste of the coffee. then add sugar and milk as you like.
