Coffee Consumption Habits: Examining Around the World's Daily Coffee-Drinking Practices
Dec 15,2023
Views:
Having a cup of coffee to start the day has become a universal tradition. For millions of people, a morning cup of coffee—whether it's a robust espresso in Italy, a cappuccino in the US, or a traditional Turkish coffee in Istanbul—is a necessary wake-up call. Some cultures, such as those of the Scandinavian nations, go one step further and add a social component to their morning coffee ritual. Friends and family get together to share a cup of coffee and build a sense of community and connection through this practice.
Many people worldwide find comfort in taking a mid-afternoon coffee break as the day wears on. Coffee is the ideal tool to stay alert and energized during the afternoon slump. In nations like Spain and Portugal, the "siesta" culture promotes taking a quick nap after lunch. This pick-me-up, known as a "bica" in Portugal or a small, strong espresso in Spain, helps people get through the workday until evening.
It's interesting to note that, despite its common association with alertness and waking, some cultures find that, following a filling dinner, coffee actually has a calming effect. For example, in France, it's customary to end a meal with a cup of black coffee, which acts as a digestif and promotes relaxation afterward. Similar to this, after dinner in many Arab nations, guests partake in a traditional Arabian coffee ceremony during which they sip aromatic, rich cups of coffee and indulge in dates or other sweets as a show of hospitality and a way to wind down after a meal.
Beyond these typical coffee-drinking customs, innovative trends and habits are constantly emerging from the global coffee culture. Enthusiasts all across the world are welcoming these changes, from plant-based substitutes and specialty coffee shops to cold brews and artisanal pour-overs.
One thing is certain: coffee has evolved into a cross-border social, cultural, and personal experience, despite differences in individual coffee-drinking habits. Whatever your preference—a quick caffeine boost in the morning, a midday energy boost, or a cozy cup of tea in the evening—coffee unites people, energises our everyday existence, and in ways we may never understand.
