Etiquette for drinking coffee

There are some unwritten traditional coffee etiquette, which may be very important. For example, you shouldn't keep talking with a cup or running around the house with coffee. At this time, you should put the cup down.

Don't add sugar or cream to other people's coffee without permission. If you are a guest in someone else's house, don't pour coffee for yourself or others without permission, because it is the obligation and right of the host.

The freshly brewed coffee is too hot. You can gently stir it in the cup with a coffee spoon to cool it down, or wait until it cools naturally before drinking. It is very impolite to try to blow cold coffee through your mouth.

A coffee spoon is used to stir coffee. Stir gently. Don't make coffee cups jingle. At the same time, don't scoop coffee with a coffee spoon. This is also impolite. Sometimes you can have some snacks when drinking coffee, but don't take a coffee cup in one hand and a snack in the other, take a sip and drink alternately. Put down the snacks when drinking coffee, and put down the coffee cup when eating snacks.

How to add sugar and cream

Except only black coffee (no sugar and cream). When adding sugar, if you add sugar cubes, you should add them in the following order: first put the sugar cubes on the spoon, and then gently put the spoon into the cup. Only in this way can we avoid coffee overflowing the cup when adding sugar cubes. Cream can be added directly. Similarly, in order to avoid coffee spillage, the position should be as low as possible.

The use of coffee cups and saucers

Coffee after a meal is usually served in a small cup. The ears of this cup are so small that fingers can't pass through them. But even if you use a bigger cup, you don't need to put your finger through the ear of the cup before holding it. Serve coffee. Cups and saucers are also specially made. You should put them in front of you or on the right, with the ear pointing to the left.

The correct way to hold a coffee cup is to hold the cup handle with your thumb and forefinger and lift it up. When drinking coffee, hold the coffee cup ear with your right hand, gently hold the coffee tray with your left hand, and slowly sip it to your mouth to avoid making noise. It is not advisable to hold up a cup and swallow it, or lower your head to suck coffee. Sometimes you will encounter some inconvenient situations, for example, it is inconvenient to sit on the sofa far from the table and drink coffee with both hands. At this time, you can put the coffee dish on your chest with your left hand and drink the coffee cup with your right hand. After drinking, the coffee cup should be put into the coffee tray immediately, and the two should not be placed separately.

The steps of drinking coffee

First, take a sip of ice water before you start drinking coffee. Ice water can help the taste of coffee clearly emerge, make every taste bud on your tongue fully prepared to feel the delicious coffee, and also clean your mouth.

Secondly, when a cup of coffee is served to you, don't drink it in a hurry. Just like tea or wine tasting, there must be a gradual process to achieve the purpose of relaxation, refreshing and enjoyment. Smell the aroma first and taste the aroma of coffee; Look at the color again and feel the visual impression of coffee.

Third, the taste, first take a sip of black coffee and feel the taste of original coffee. Coffee should be sweet, slightly bitter and slightly sour. Then sip coffee. Don't swallow coffee in one gulp. Put it in your mouth for a while, let the coffee and saliva mix with the air a little, and then swallow it. Don't forget to have a sip of black coffee. Every cup of coffee you drink must go through five years of growth, complicated procedures such as harvesting and baking, and careful preparation by the barista before it can blossom and bear fruit.

So, why not take a sip without sugar and cream while it is hot? Black coffee? Feel the taste of coffee first, and then apply powder. Then add some sugar, take another sip, and finally add cream. In this way, the taste of coffee is on the tip of the tongue.

Fourth, drink coffee while it is hot. Because the tannic acid in coffee is easy to change during the cooling process, it makes the taste sour and affects the flavor of coffee. The best temperature for drinking coffee is 85-88 degrees Celsius. 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 coffee, you should soak the coffee cup in boiling water in advance. The suitable temperature of coffee is 83℃ at the moment of brewing, 80℃ in the cup and 6 1-62℃ at the entrance, which is the most ideal. Generally speaking, drinking coffee while it is hot is also a basic etiquette. If it is a cup of good quality coffee, the taste performance is the same as that when it is hot, or even better, but the aroma will be reduced after cooling.

Fifth, drink coffee in moderation, so drink it in moderation. Don't fill a cup of coffee. If you look at a full cup of coffee, you will lose interest in drinking. Generally, only seven or eight minutes is the right amount, and the right amount of coffee can moderately promote the recovery of fatigue and refresh the mind. Ordinary coffee consumption is 80- 100cc. Sometimes if you want to drink three or four cups in a row, you have to dilute the concentration of coffee or add a lot of milk, otherwise it will cause a disgusting feeling. You might as well make more changes in the distribution of sugar to make coffee more delicious.
