Enjoying coffee with friends

WHY IT’S IMPORTANT TO ENJOY A COFFEE BREAK WITH FRIENDS AND COLLEAGUES

Regular coffee breaks bring multiple benefits to your mind and body, especially when it comes to being productive at work. A good coffee will help you focus, so you can tackle outstanding tasks and stay on track. It can also kickstart your creative juices and improve your problem-solving skills.

As well as improving productivity, coffee may improve your working relationships. After all, a coffee break is the perfect chance to network and build relationships with your co-workers. So, you can build a positive workplace culture as you connect with your colleagues.

And that’s not all. A post-lunch coffee break Italian-style, can even aid digestion. 

Coffee accessories don’t have to be bulky. Easy-to-carry essentials mean you can take your coffee ritual wherever you go. How about a hand-powered espresso maker? You don’t need electricity for this, so you can pour yourself an espresso any time.  If you prefer drip coffee, why not buy collapsible coffee filters that are also easy to carry?

If you plan on travelling extra light, pouring your favourite coffee into a travel mug will keep it hot (or cold) for hours.

COFFEE PARTY FOR A VARIETY OF GUESTS

Whether you’re celebrating someone’s birthday, graduation, or anniversary, when you create your guest list, think about whether your friends or relatives will bring their children. It’s a great idea to add decaf coffee options to your menu, or maybe even juice for the little ones.

Choose your favourite beans, prepare them, and brew them so they’re fresh and your guests are greeted by the luxurious aroma. Some people can’t take their coffee without milk, so it’s worth thinking about how to serve coffee at your party. You could offer a variety of milk – including plant-based options – especially if you’ve got guests who are lactose intolerant.

And finally, snacks are important. It’s a great idea to prepare some sweet or savoury treats to balance the flavours at your coffee party.

COFFEE PARTY FOR COFFEE-LOVING GUESTS

If your guests appreciate a wonderful coffee moment, there plenty of ways to spoil them. You can make your coffee party more exclusive, and become a real connoisseur, by preparing various beans with different taste notes.

Then, invite your coffee-lovers over for a tasting session. Why not ask your friends to bring over their favourite beans and play games like ‘guess the taste notes’?

In a nutshell, your coffee rituals should be fun, relaxing, and tailored to you and your guests. You could serve your friends a pour-over if you’d rather spend your time deep in conversation. Then appreciate the taste slowly as you reconnect with your friends in a precious coffee moment…
