Suspended coffee

Have you ever heard of a suspended coffee? Think of it like a surprise gift that you can give to someone who needs it. Here's how it works.

At some coffee shops, like the ones in Italy, you can buy a "suspended coffee." That's when you pay for a coffee for someone else who might need it in the future but who isn't there to pick it up yet.

The idea is that someone who could use a little help can go into the coffee shop and receive a previously "suspended" or paid-for coffee. This could be someone who is homeless, or maybe someone who isn't able to afford a coffee that day.

It's kind of like when you get a cookie or piece of candy from a person or place you weren't expecting it from, and you feel so happy! It makes you feel good to be able to help someone else, even if it's just for something small like a coffee.

So the next time you're at a coffee shop, ask if they have suspended coffee and think about buying one to help someone else out.
