typical day in the life of a typical person begins with a cup of their regular morning coffee, either at home, with a cup of coffee to go, or by just going to their favourite cafe to get their morning boost. Thus, coffee for many individuals is a common routine, despite that it is consumed in many ways depending on who, what, and how the person consumes it (Lindblad, J., & Svensson, E. 2017). Today we can see coffee houses opening on every other street corner. It is a drink that can be seen as a sign of hospitality in several businesses, to make the customer more comfortable and start talking.
In our society, the simple phrase “let us get a coffee” has now converted into “let us have a chat” and the venue is often intended to be private, but is however usually taken place in a public sphere (Gaudio, 2003). On top of this, drinking coffee involves social and interpersonal dimensions beyond the act of drinking (Seargeant & Tagg, 2014)
Coffee can be seen everywhere from our homes to our offices, from movie theatre to a spa. In this assignment I am going to analyse the various angles associated with the ritual of drinking coffee, either all alone or with a group of friends or with a stranger. A sociological study of coffee will put light on the fact that the act has many social processes linked to it.
