How to serve coffee correctly according to etiquette

Because of the rhythm of life, we often drink coffee in a hurry: on the run, during a short break at work, on the street. But sometimes you can allow yourself to slow down and make coffee a real ritual.

We tell you how to serve this drink according to all the rules.

• Coffee is served on a saucer, turning the handle of the cup to the left (40 degrees from the guest), and placing the spoon on the right, with the handle facing the guest. Most people are right-handed, so it will be convenient for them to stir the sugar in the drink.
  
• Offer options. Maybe you like black coffee, but your guests' tastes may be completely different. Prepare milk, sugar, spices, but do not add them in advance. Let everyone put what he likes.
• Coffee is often served with goodies: small cookies or dark chocolate will perfectly emphasize the aroma of the drink. They can be placed on a saucer or on a separate plate next to the cup.
• All cups of coffee are brought on a tray. Do not take them out one at a time. You can put milk and other related products next to it. You can let guests add sugar and milk themselves or ask everyone about their wishes.
• It is customary to serve a glass of water with espresso. So the guest will be able to clean the taste buds between sips of coffee and restore the water balance at the end.
