Coffee can be served hot. It all depends on time of day, on any occasion of celebration, and on personal preferences. No matter how much coffee was served to the table, it deserves so you can appreciate and enjoy it. To this end, coffee is served hot, immediately after cooking.
Coffee table covered with cloth (preferably soft, light shade). You can spread out in the middle of the track, and give each guest a napkin folded in four - it put right.
Coffee table decorated with flowers, but so that they do not overshadow the gathering around the table and do not interfere with conversation. To this end, better use of high flower vase. 

Gorgeous coffee table decoration can be candlesticks with candles, ashtrays.
Before the coffee offer hot snacks and salads. Then directly to the coffee served small sandwiches, cakes, biscuits, cookies, candy, nuts, various fruits, berries and cakes.
On the table is also made to put boxes of chocolates and juices, mineral water, cut into slices lemon in trays with a special fork for shifting.
An indispensable condition for the coffee table - hot milk, served in a milkman, a slivochnitse cream and sugar. In the sugar bowl with sand to put the spoon, and for lump sugar - tweezers.
As the aromas of coffee can offer guests a brandy and liqueurs. In contrast to the tea-table, where the epicenter of attention is the samovar, coffee table attracts visitors primarily coffee service. Its placement is not complicated.
If before the coffee has different sandwiches, rolls and so on, in this case on the table, put dessert plates. Left of them put the fork for appetizers, and right - the plug for a cake, and after it - a knife for snacks. After dessert devices were removed for each guest with the left hand put a plate under the cake or pie, and on the right - a coffee cup and saucer. In this case, pen cups must be right and be parallel to the edge of the table. Teaspoon should be on a saucer for the cup, handle well on the right. There is an option when the black coffee without grounds served poured into the coffee cup and saucer. Cup set for a guest so that its handle was rotated to the left, and Pen coffee spoon, laid on a plate - right from the guest. In this case, the cup is removed from the tray with his right hand and fed to the right of the guest. 
Stuff apart on the table drinks in two ways. According to one variant - the face, pouring coffee, moving along the table from left to right, take the left hand is pre-set on the table, the saucer, cup and spoon, fills a cup from the pot with his right hand and puts it on the table with his left hand to the left of the guest. According to another variant - bypasses the person serving the guests table from right to left, stopping about every human right, the right hand fills out drink coffee pot standing on a table coffee cups.
Coffee pot with the need to wrap a napkin. Each guest is made to pour 3 / 4 cup. Coffee pot with remaining drink usually put on a napkin in the center of the table. For different types of coffee has its own peculiarities serving. For example, coffee and milk are not served in the coffee, and tea cups (they are larger in volume) or glasses with coasters. Cups of this drink put in front of the guest. Similarly serves and Viennese coffee, adding to the use of the drink with whipped cream. Coffee ice-cream served in a conical cup with a capacity of 250 milliliters of ice cream. Glass with glace put on a plate covered with carved a paper napkin. Nearby lay dessert spoon for ice cream and two straws for coffee.
Special specificity inherent in the coffee in the east. It is cooked in Turku with sugar and served with the grounds. You must first remove a teaspoon of the foam, pour the coffee from the Turks in the cup, then top to shift from a teaspoon of the foam. In no case can stir the drink. 

Coffee cup set for a guest to his right to Pirozhkova plate is placed a glass of cold boiled water, which is sometimes a little podkislivayut lemon. There is another way of brewing coffee in the eastern - the type of coffee set. For each guest put a small tray with a coffee cup, a pen that should be brought to the left, saucer and coffee spoon, turned a handle to the right. Left of the cup is placed the sugar bowl or outlet with sugar, and the right - a glass of cold boiled water. On a tray and put the Turks from the brewed coffee and Pirozhkov plate with a teaspoon.
We should mention that the reduced order of the coffee supply will only be applicable in the home environment. During events at restaurants (for example, during a banquet buffet) is served coffee in a different way.
First way: at first covered with a napkin tray put the coffee cups with saucers, cups with coffee spoons, handles estates up, the sugar bowl with sugar and tongs. After the waiter brings the coffee pot with hot drinks, each party celebration itself serves themselves according to their own tastes.
The second way: in the pre-covered with a napkin tray put two coffee pot with drinks (one with sugar and other sugar-free) handles right from the waiter. It also placed the coffee cups, coffee cups and saucers stacked with coffee spoons placed handles up. The waiter himself serves guests, offering them coffee. He holds a tray in the palm of his left hand, right hand puts the cup on the saucer top of the stack and pours a guest ordered a sweet or savory drink 2 / 3 of a cup, put the coffee pot on a tray and gives the visitor a cup of coffee placed on the saucer. 

The third way: the guests is served by two waiters. One of them holds in his left hand a tray with two coffee making (in one - a coffee with sugar in the other - without the sugar). The second waiter keeps in his left hand a tray with coffee cups, saucers and coffee spoons. The first waiter serves coffee and pours a drink with his right hand from the coffee pot into the cup, which his companion previously placed on a saucer on his tray.
So, coffee is served. At the table immediately revived talk. It would seem that something simpler - a cup of hot drink. But this simplicity is deceptive: because of many reasons for the rules of coffee and tea are often not respected by many people.
We recall these rules:

    * Prevented tea or coffee, you should not leave the spoon in the glass, it should be put on the saucer.
    * Do not dip into the drink made biscuits.
    * Do not drink tea or coffee, when located in the mouth the food is not ingested.
    * Coffee is drunk hot, slowly, without making loud sounds at the same time.
    * Saucer held in the left hand and right brings the cup to his mouth. When they drink coffee with milk, a plate is left on the table.
    * You should not bulge mannered little finger, and push through your finger in the eye of the handle.
    * Sugar to coffee, in the absence of special pliers are not made to take a spoon, it should pick up and drop into the cup.
    * Coffee with liquor, as a rule, do not drink in the dining room and living room. For coffee requires a small spoon, and a mocha - very small.
 
Ladies leisurely sipping liqueurs, men - cognac and other spirits. Coffee, successfully combined with alcohol, allows more to shade the taste and aroma of an alcoholic beverage, to neutralize his strength, to create exquisite flavor composition.
