Coffee
Facts, tips and ideas about Coffee — and how to find people for it.
Did you know?
The best café in the world? The one where you sit with friends.
The German tradition of coffee and cake in the afternoon emerged in 18th-century bourgeois salons — as coffee grew more expensive and sugar more affordable, the ritual took on its middle-class meaning.

Good to know
The best cafés aren't in any guidebook. Ask neighbors, not Google.
Tip
Meet for coffee, not for working. Laptops away, conversation on.
Everyone orders something different, then pass the cups around. Three sips from someone else's cup beat the whole menu.
For pour-over, 60 grams of coffee per liter of water is enough, water at 92-96 °C — everything else is preference. Fresh beans taste better in any grinder than old ones in the best.
Inspiration
Every good day starts with coffee. Every great day starts with coffee with friends.
A small challenge
A café none of you has been to — and each orders what the other recommends. Someone else's pick, your new favourite.
Break the ice
“Latte or black?”
“What do you always order — and what do you order when you're feeling brave?”
Right now
Hot cocoa, a warm café, good company.
