Coffee drinking etiquette

When drinking coffee in a coffee shop, coffee is usually served in a cup with a plate. You can pour milk and sugar into the cup, and then pick up the coffee spoon to mix well, and then put the spoon into the plate, lift the cup to drink.

Coffee after a meal is usually served in a pocket cup. This kind of small cup has small ears and can't be penetrated by fingers. But even if you use a larger cup, you don't need to put your finger through the ear of the cup to lift the cup. The correct way to hold a coffee cup is to hold the handle with your thumb and forefinger and lift the cup.

When adding sugar to coffee, if it's granulated sugar, you can ladle it out with a spoon and directly add it into the cup; if it's Square sugar, you should first use the sugar clip to put the square sugar on the close side of the coffee plate, and then use the coffee spoon to put the square sugar into the cup. If you put the square sugar into the cup directly with the sugar clip or hand, sometimes the coffee may splash out and stain the clothes or tablecloth.

After mixing the coffee with the coffee spoon, put the coffee spoon on the outside of the plate, so as not to hinder the drinking of coffee. Don't leave the coffee spoon in the cup and drink it. It's not only unsightly, but also easy to make the coffee cup spill over. Do not use coffee spoon to drink coffee, because coffee spoon is only used to add sugar and stir.

Don't use the coffee spoon to smash the sugar in the cup.

If the freshly brewed coffee is too hot, gently stir it in the cup with a coffee spoon to cool it, or wait for it to cool naturally before drinking. It's very unsightly to try to cool the coffee with your mouth.

The cups and saucers for coffee are all specially made. They should be placed on the front or right side of the drinker, with the cup ears pointing to the right. When drinking coffee, you can hold the cup ear of the coffee cup with your right hand, hold the coffee dish with your left hand, and slowly move to your mouth to sip. Remember not to make any noise.

Of course, sometimes there are some special circumstances. For example, sitting in a sofa far away from the table, it's inconvenient to drink coffee with both hands. At this time, you can make some modifications. Use your left hand to place the coffee dish at the chest level and use your right hand to hold the coffee cup. After drinking, the coffee cup should be placed in the coffee plate immediately, do not let the two separate.

When adding coffee, do not lift the cup from the coffee plate.

Sometimes you can have some snacks with coffee. But don't take a coffee cup in one hand and a snack in the other, eating and drinking alternately. When you drink coffee, you should put down the snack. When you eat snack, you should put down the coffee cup.

In the coffee house, be polite and don't stare at others. The lighter the voice, the better. Don't talk too much regardless of the occasion.
