☺️ There’s a little coffee shop where two people walk up to the counter.
“Five coffees, please. Two for us, and three hanging.”
They pay, take their two coffees, and leave.
Curious, I ask the barista, “What’s a hanging coffee?”
“Just wait, and you’ll see,” they respond with a smile.
A little while later, two girls come in. They each order a coffee, pay, and go on their way. Then, three women order seven coffees: three for themselves and four hanging.
My curiosity deepens. What’s with all these “hanging” coffees?
Then, a man in worn clothes, who looks like he’s fallen on hard times, approaches the counter and asks, “Do you have a hanging coffee?”
“Yes, we do, sir,” the barista replies, handing him a hot cup of coffee.
I finally understood. People are paying in advance for coffees that will be served to anyone who can’t afford one.
This heartwarming tradition began in Naples, but it’s now spreading to cities and towns across the world. In some places, it’s not just hanging coffees—you can leave sandwiches or even a full meal for someone in need.
Imagine if we all embraced this simple act of kindness in our own communities. A small gesture like this could make a world of difference to someone’s day, or even their life.
Let’s start bringing this tradition to every city and town. One small act of generosity could ripple out and touch countless lives in ways we can’t even imagine. #Nostr #Bitcoin #coffeechain #kindness 🧡💜

I make my own coffee at home. Maybe if these people made their own coffee at home they wouldn’t have fallen on hard financial times.
🧡💜☕️

Love this idea
Best part of your story is that things get solved locally. Keep it local & organic. It will fail miserably with too much attention. Lots of examples of these types of things, especially with small businesses in good towns. People be people.
Let us make kindness go viral!

Beautiful and inspiring!
On the one hand, that’s laudable; on the other hand, that’s fiat for you: those who have dole out just a little extra for those that have nothing and do no work to earn anything of that which they’re partaking. At least Ruth worked hard before Boaz noticed her, instructed his workers to leave extra for her, and then eventually paid all her debts and married her.
Love it 🥰
This is awesome. I want on bring this to my town.

This is high trust society behavior. The assumption is that no person of moral character would ever take advantage of a system of charity. Look around you, do you see people of similar moral character in your town? Then, this would work. If not, you are actually creating a perverse incentive. Charity, morality, and kindness is for your friends. Never give these things to your enemies. They will destroy you with your own helping hand.
🧡💜
Beautiful initiative! But there’s a question that immediately comes to mind: how do they fight abuse of such a system? How (and who) decides who gets a free coffee?
Are there any protocols in place or is it simply barista’s judgement?
🎯 Great point
Aaaaawrighty 🙏

That's great, but could probably never work in Paraguay.
I have seen this in a local Cafe in Australia too. looks like the generosity has been a little addictive ♥️

You’re not only a boomer….
What a great idea! Thanks for sharing!

Awesome!
Please don't feed the pigeons
Let's try hanging jobs next
🧡💜😀

little act of kindess makes so much of a difference not only to those who receives them but to those who witness and did the deed. let's pay it forward! ❤️❤️❤️
“Caffè sospeso” in Napoli
It’s called « Caffè sospeso » 🇮🇹
Don’t think most of them have a home to make coffee at
nice to hear.
Pay it forward, one cup at a time. ☕️❤️
This is beautiful 🤩
Nice one. Actually heard of this before. 👍🏻
I’d never heard of this before
Awesome vibes
Similar thing happens in Canada’s Tim Hortons too - people would pay for the order of a person behind in a drive through!
I think people go to coffee shops also to get out of their house!
🧡💜

@SatsMan in a prosperous economy/society no one will go hungry because the generosity flows like water, no need for violent thugs to steal your earning in the name of welfare for the poor
Buy BTC instead of a coffee & then they can get a home. I can do this all day.
Did they approve this with FEMA?
Was that sent from his prison cell?
Black, tattoo arm sleeve, dumb looking. All green check marks pointing to jail.
I am from a family of learnED doctors. Don’t waste my time.

The relief I feel from reading your reply is palpable to my nervous system.
😀
Yes that generosity is co-opted by forced confiscation and handouts by the state.
This only works in high trust societies.
Try doing this anywhere outside Europe and North America.
You'll pose as a clown and be stolen.
Barista's judgement should be enough

That's amazing and God bless 🙏 all of this in need
Love this!
