Answer 1

Coffee is a vastly used social lubricant. coffee shops offer free access to the customers and encourage them to discuss the business activities and personal talks. Coffee shops offer coffee and other beverages like sandwich, pastry and it is very helpful for refreshment. In the Islamic countries wine is banned. Coffee is used there as alternatives and there are many coffee shops that offer people for social gathering.

The environment in the coffee house is very pleasant and gentle. Men and women can gather there for any discussion freely. For passing time with beautiful moments people like coffee shops and all types of gentle atmosphere are maintained there.

Coffee culture is a world-class culture and in the United States there is the largest market of coffee. in Germany, Japan, Australia, Sweden and other European countries coffee culture is greatly appreciated by the people. Following the European countries the Islamic countries also began to use coffee as the most stimulant drinks. Men and women can freely join there and spend happy time with drinking coffee with friends and relatives.
