This idea originated as “Suspended Coffee” and is nothing new. It first started after WW II in Napoli, Italy as a commemoration of the WW II veterans. When a veteran came into a coffee shop and they asked him if he wants coffee and the answer was yes, he automatically got one from the “suspended” ones. In the era of economic growth the Italian “Caffè Sospeso“ vanished. The idea resurfaced after the 2008 worldwide economic crisis and made its way to other countries under the English term „Suspended Coffee“ and it became a global initiative.
