Today is Suspended Coffee Day (Caffe Sospeso). Many Coffee shops around the world are reviving an old Neapolitan custom, which involves paying it forward with coffee. A customer orders one cup but pays the barista for two. This second cup – the “suspended coffee” – is served for free to someone who is down on their luck.
Suspended Coffee Day highlights this tradition and encourages people to take part in paying it forward, bringing awareness to the idea of supporting others in a thoughtful and collective way. It’s a beautiful practice that blends generosity with the universal love of coffee, making it a fitting day to spread kindness and goodwill.
