We enter a little coffeehouse with a friend of mine and give our order. While we're h for 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 e, pay and go. The next order was for seven coffees and it was m by three lawyers — three for them and four 'suspended'. While I still wonder what's the d with those suspended' coffees, I enjoy the sunny weather and the beautiful v towards the square in front of the café. Suddenly a man d in shabby clothes who looks like a beggar c 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 cannot afford a warm beverage. The t with the suspended coffees started in Naples, but it has s all over the world and in some places you can order not only a suspended coffee, but also a sandwich or a whole m."
