The reason for the coffee to be after dinner beverage? I don’t really know… I remember the parties at my parents’ home when I was younger, always tended to end with coffee accompanying the dessert. I think it’s mainly because coffee goes well with sweet flavors. But this is especially true when the coffee is more bitter.

At our home parties I have only one friend that drinks coffee after the main dish, but he wants coffee mainly because he gets too sleepy. I really don’t think that coffee acts as a refreshing and energizing drink. It’s not my case. Still, caffeine affects every person differently, and there are some cases that cannot sleep well after too much of this stimulant.

Happy to see you around again!
