Working in a coffee house can make me do a lot of evaluation on human behavior. From business associates who are discussing and planning to launch a new product, girlfriends or housewives catching up with each other’s lives, to simply a man and a woman enjoying each other’s company on a first date.
Whatever the scenario is, on that particular table where they were discussing the aspects of their daily lives lies a cup of coffee. This shows that the second most consumed beverage in the world triggers one vital feature in our lives- communication. Or conversation. Or small talk. You name it.
There have been countless times when most of us have heard the phrases “Wanna go grab a cuppa? Or “Let’s discuss this with coffee”. Having said that, I believe that almost 35 percent or even 40 percent of the world’s conversations would not have happened without coffee. It has been intricate deeply into a part of our lives as a physical product of need for a human conversation.
So how did we actually come to that? Maybe with the temporary adrenaline rush we underwent with our caffeinated fella actually helps us to prepare for a tough meeting with our boss or maybe it helps us to relax but be alert at the same time while we’re talking to our friends. The list goes on.
But, as you can see, it is a fact that coffee is now a ‘pre-must do’ fixation before we even start communicating. It is a hidden meaning that we have forgotten or may not realize, maybe even taken for granted. So think about it when you’ve just gotten your coffee and approaching someone to have a talk. That cuppa in your hand is a salvation for your very own upcoming conversation.
