Matters needing attention and steps of coffee shop

In fact, the so-called cafe etiquette is not expressly stipulated, but a customary habit in life. The following is the etiquette I arranged for you in the cafe. I hope it will help you!

Etiquette in the cafe

First, speak softly and respect each other's privacy.

In fact, everyone understands this. Europeans pay great attention to privacy. Generally speaking, they are quiet in public and seldom talk about the privacy of family and friends. However, I often encounter such things in cafes. When several girls sit together, they are either talking about other people's privacy or exposing their own privacy, and they are talking louder and louder for fear that others don't know and don't care about the eyes of people around them. From the point of etiquette, this is a very uncultured behavior. Some people may be born with a loud voice, and it is not a bad thing that the voice is magnetic and penetrating, but it also depends on the occasion. When you are quiet, you should turn down the volume.

Second, never play cards (poker, board games, mahjong, etc. ) in the cafe.

Some people like the decoration of the cafe, so they get together with three or five friends. When feelings are strong, they will take out a deck of poker to play two games, and whoever loses will pay the bill (I have also seen people play mini mahjong). This is definitely a characteristic of China. Some cafes don't want to offend guests in order to do business. As long as it's not too noisy, they turn a blind eye. Actually, this is very bad. If you want to play cards, there are special board game drink shops to choose from, but cafes have a specific culture, not including playing cards.

Third, swearing destroys the atmosphere and affects personal image.

Needless to say, everyone understands this taboo.

Fourth, coffee is not beer. Don't drink it while walking.

Although the coffee shop is a leisure place, it is impolite for the owner to drink coffee while walking. If you really need to stand and drink, you should stand and drink with a coffee dish in one hand and coffee in the other.

Fifth, use the coffee spoon correctly.

Generally speaking, the coffee spoon has only two purposes. Firstly, the hot coffee is gently stirred to a suitable temperature before use. The second is to mix coffee with milk and sugar. Never drink coffee like soup with a coffee spoon.

Sixth, even if the coffee is not fresh, it cannot be heated.

Coffee should be drunk while it is hot (except iced coffee), and it is generally better to drink it at around 60 degrees Celsius. However, when you chat with friends and find your coffee, you'd better not ask the waiter to heat it for you, because if the coffee is reheated, the aroma and flavor will be greatly reduced and become unpleasant, so it's better to finish it as soon as possible.

As an exotic product, cafe culture will naturally have some differences with our daily culture. Learning more and paying more attention will naturally improve our personal cultivation and quality.

Etiquette to pay attention to when drinking coffee

How to enjoy a good cup of coffee

Delicious coffee always coexists with warm thoughts. Appreciating a good cup of coffee in the right way will not only make it easier for you to appreciate the delicious coffee, but also make you look educated. A good cup of coffee should be clear, bright and transparent. Concentration and turbidity are different. Generally speaking, the reasons for coffee turbidity are nothing more than the following:

Mixing defective coffee beans

Bad baking

Coffee beans or powder have been left for too long.

Excessive brewing (too high brewing temperature, too long brewing time, too rough flushing method? ) when the spoon is put into good coffee, the light of the spoon will reflect and shine; Then scoop up a spoonful and drop it back. You will find that at the moment of falling, the coffee liquid will form jewel-like beads and slide across the surface. This is a cup of wet and transparent coffee.

Small steps when drinking coffee

1. Take a sip of cold water to clean your mouth first.

Please drink coffee while it is hot, because the tannic acid in coffee is easy to change during the cooling process, which makes the taste sour and naturally affects the flavor of coffee.

3. Have a sip of black coffee. Every cup of coffee you drink will take five years to blossom and bear fruit. It has gone through complicated procedures such as harvesting and baking, and has been carefully prepared by the barista.

So, first take a sip of "black coffee" without sugar and creamer while it is hot, and feel the taste of coffee before it is pulverized. Then add some sugar, take another sip, and finally add cream. Don't forget to try pure coffee first!

Take a sip of ice water before you start drinking coffee. Ice water can help the taste of coffee clearly emerge, so that every taste bud on your tongue is fully prepared to feel the delicious taste of coffee.

5. Drink alcohol in moderation. Coffee contains caffeine, so drink it in moderation! Enjoying a good cup of coffee according to the above process can not only appreciate the taste of coffee at different levels, but also help improve the ability to appreciate coffee.

Pay special attention to some etiquette:

How to get a coffee cup?

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, don't put your finger through the ear and then end it. The correct way to hold a coffee cup is to hold the cup handle with your thumb and forefinger, and then lift the cup.

(2) How to add sugar to coffee?

When adding sugar to coffee, you can use a coffee spoon to scoop up the sugar and add it directly to the cup, but now it is very convenient to operate the sugar packets in independent small packages; You can also use a sugar clip to hold the cube sugar near the coffee plate, and then use a coffee spoon to add the cube sugar to the cup. If you put the sugar cube into the cup directly with a sugar clip or by hand, sometimes you may spill coffee, which will stain the clothes or tablecloth, which is extremely rude.

(3) How to use the coffee spoon?

The coffee spoon is specially used to stir coffee, so you should take it out when drinking coffee. No more slowly scooping coffee with a coffee spoon, and no more mashing the cubes in the cup with a coffee spoon. The coffee will stick to the spoon that has stirred the coffee. Gently wipe off the juice along the inner edge of the cup. Never shake a spoon or lick it with your tongue. It's best to put the used spoon on the inside of the tray to avoid knocking it off when you pick up the coffee cup. The standard stirring technique is to put the coffee spoon in the center of the coffee cup, turn it clockwise from the inside out, then turn it counterclockwise from the outside in to the center, and then repeat the same technique. This method homogenizes the coffee.

(4) What if the coffee is too hot?

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.

(5) the use of cups and saucers?

The cups and saucers for holding coffee are all specially made. They should be placed in front of or to the right of the drinker, and the cup ears should point to the right. When drinking coffee, you can hold the cup ear of coffee in your right hand, gently hold the coffee plate in your left hand, and slowly move it to your mouth to sip. It is not advisable to hold the cup full, gulp it down, or bend down to get the coffee cup. Don't make too much noise when drinking coffee. When adding coffee, don't take the coffee cup away from the coffee plate. If you encounter some inconvenient situations, such as sitting on the sofa far from the table, it is inconvenient to drink coffee with both hands. At this time, you can put the dish at chest height 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.

(6) Drink coffee and eat snacks

Sometimes you can have a snack when you drink coffee, but don't take a sip alternately with a coffee cup in one hand and a snack in the other. Put down the snacks when drinking coffee, and put down the coffee cup when eating snacks.

(7) Drink coffee

Generally speaking, drinking coffee while it is hot is the basic etiquette. However, it should be noted that drinking coffee is not like drinking boiled water, nor is drinking coffee like drinking tea or fruit juice. You can have a few drinks in a row. In that case, the host will laugh at you for being old-fashioned or think you are impolite. 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. ? A connoisseur of coffee will definitely feel the delicious taste at the moment when the coffee is served, that is, deeply sucked into the coffee cup? Breathe, all the beauty is here. Then, take a sip of coffee oil, which is the original taste of coffee, and then add sugar and milk according to personal preference.

(8) Coffee tasting terms

Coffee tasting here actually refers to black coffee, which is very similar to wine tasting:

Clean: Coffee has no earthy taste, game, big defects and uncomfortable characteristics.

Balance: It has complex and interesting functions, but none of them stand out.

Body and taste): Texture refers to the sticky touch of coffee in the mouth, which is directly proportional to the amount of colloid suspended in coffee. Because the whole mouth will feel the texture, so we use "rich" to describe the thick coffee, and vice versa? Thin? .

Complexity: refers to the characteristics of different levels coexisting in the same cup of coffee, with high complexity, indicating that there are many kinds of sensory stimuli that can be felt; It should be noted that these feelings include aftertaste and are not necessarily limited to the feeling when drinking.

Depth: this is a subjective adjective, which refers to the resonance and appeal beyond sensory stimulation. This resonance and appeal may be caused by some subtle feeling or the complex interaction between different feelings.

Bitter: This is the characteristic of fried beans. Like sour taste, it is not necessarily uncomfortable, but the feeling of the whole mouth and throat, not just the tongue. Friends who usually drink American coffee or coffee in the wind may use it? Strong? To describe this feature.

Sweet: There are two meanings. The first is to feel the sweetness stimulus, which is also commonly known as sweetness; Another meaning means that it is sweet and mellow, with some astringent substances and rich in taste, which is reminiscent of sugar; This tip of the tongue doesn't have to respond.

Smooth: indicates that the acidity and bitterness are weak.

Acidity: the faint taste of coffee on the tip of the tongue. ? Acid? Words may seem harsh, but in fact, the original flavor and fresh vitality of coffee beans, like wine, are contained in its sour taste.

The sour taste of fresh coffee, with the aroma of fruit, is just like the natural fruit acid contained in lemon, grape, apple and other fruits, and the taste is pleasant and fresh.

Aroma: The coffee in the air is mellow. From roasting, grinding to brewing, coffee beans do their best to release fragrance at every stop of the long journey. So, you might as well make good use of your sense of smell and experience this aromatic journey with coffee.

Taste: Some coffees have various flavors, including sour, sweet and bitter, while others are extremely sour, completely occupying your sense of smell and taste. Some people are used to it? Feeling? To judge-does coffee have its own style? Does it smell of forest or fruit? Is temperament gentle or masculine? This is the most intimate and emotional stop in all the tasting processes.
