Coffee, oh coffee! The liquid gold that fuels our mornings and keeps us going through the day. The magic potion turns us from groggy zombies to productive members of society. But let’s face it; coffee is not just a beverage. It’s a way of life – especially when you have a favorite coffee shop that you frequent.
While we may not be a ‘coffee shop,’ but more of a breakfast and lunch diner – our family here at Linda’s appreciates a good coffee blog everyone once in a while, too. So, since you’re here – sit back, enjoy your Joe, and read on!
There’s the snobs …
First of all, let’s talk about the coffee snobs. You know who they are, the ones who insist on getting their coffee from a particular region, roasted to a specific level, and brewed in a specific way. They turn their noses up at anything that isn’t artisanal, single-origin, fair trade, and served in a trendy coffee shop with exposed brick walls and Edison bulbs. But honestly, can they even taste the difference? Or are they just trying to sound sophisticated and impress their Instagram followers with latte art?
And there’s the addicts.
Then there are the coffee addicts. They can’t function without their daily dose of caffeine, and they’ll go to any lengths to get it. They’ll chug stale office coffee, down espresso shots like tequila, and even resort to snorting coffee grounds if they have to. They’ll suffer from jitters, insomnia, and heart palpitations, but it’s all worth it for that sweet, sweet buzz.
But, what would life be without the regulars?
And let’s remember the coffee shop regulars. They’re the ones who sit at the same table every day with their laptops and headphones on, pretending to work while actually scrolling through Twitter and checking out the cute barista. They know all the baristas by name and are not afraid to hold up the line with their complicated orders and requests for extra foam, whipped cream, and sprinkles.
We must talk culture.
But the most fun part of coffee culture is the coffee shop itself. It’s where people from all walks of life come together to sip their lattes and share their stories. You’ll find the hipsters with their ironic mustaches and vintage bicycles, the moms with their strollers and screaming toddlers, the business people with their briefcases and Bluetooth headsets, and the retirees with their newspapers and crossword puzzles. It’s a microcosm of society with its own rules and etiquette.
For example, did you know taking the last bit of coffee without brewing a new pot is considered rude? Or that it’s impolite to hog the only electrical outlet in the place? Or should you never talk to someone with headphones on, even if they’re sitting next to you?
