"We enter a little coffeehouse with a friend of mine and give our
order. While we're approaching our table two people come in and they go
to the counter -
'Five coffees, please. Two of them for us and three suspended' They pay for their order, take the two and leave. I ask my friend:
'What are those 'suspended' coffees ? ''Wait for it and you will see
Some more people enter. Two girls ask for one coffee each, pay and go.
The next order was for seven coffees and it was made by three lawyers -
three for them and four 'suspended'. While I still wonder what's the
deal with those 'suspended' coffees I enjoy the sunny weather and the
beautiful view towards the square in front of the café. Suddenly a man
dressed in shabby clothes who looks like a beggar comes in through the
door and kindly asks
'Do you have a suspended coffee ?'
It's
simple - people pay in advance for a coffee meant for someone who can
not afford a warm beverage. The tradition with the suspended coffees
started in Naples, but it has spread all over the world and in some
places you can order not only a suspended coffee, but also a sandwich or
a whole meal."
