RE: CLOSED - Coffee Conversation - a chance to #WINHIVE

in Cinnamon Cup Coffee • last year

Sorry for keeping you standing🙂

I keep on finding different layers of flavour even with the same coffee variety I’m enjoying every day

That's amazing!

Coffee is an upper to me more than anything.
I start my mornings with some ambient water, and I like solitude until I have my cuppa. Then I'm more receptive to the idea of breaking my solitude 😅

I've never met anyone that uses coffee as a sedative, but it makes you wonder because coffee is a popular after-dinner beverage.

What do you think is the reason for that?

Sort:  

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!

I see the logic in having a more bitter taste coffee with dessert. Also, it makes sense that your friend would have it to perk him up after eating:)

It could definitely prevent this...

I think a more appropriate dinner dessert company would be a single malt whiskey or some good rum! 😉

I like the sound of both for sure 😋

Coffee for after dinner beverage? I will actively avoid coffee after dinner and will give a very weird look to anyone who offers me a cuppa after dinner 😂

Haha! Yeah, coffee after dinner is the norm in some places. I think an espresso cup would be just ideal... anything larger would be pushing it 😅
