The Pending Coffee

Did you know 10th of december is the “CaffĂ© sospeso” International day?

Unless if you’re not from that part of the world, it’s unlikely You’ve ever heard of “caffĂ© sospeso”, which translated sounds more or less like “pending coffee”.

In Naples, after World War II, a beautiful custom was born: people on occasion (especially when in a good mood, or when they had a happy event) used to leave the barista the money for an extra espresso, buying it for one of those customers who were going through a bad economic situation.
A beautiful act of charity: giving people a cheer-up warm coffee

Nowadays, it seems this habit isn’t that common anymore. But we can always ask the barista, you never know…

PS: before I forget, Inox Bim has a new wonderful range of Bar counters
