I don't drink a lot of coffee from cafes. My school has a decent coffee machine in the staff kitchen, and perhaps the one I use the most is the cafe at the petrol station where I refill my car on the way to work. also used which are currently down, which is a pity as I think they would make a good lockdown resource. I wrote the Costa for Schools resources (2 sets of them actually) a few years ago, but they seem to be offline at the moment, which is a pity.However, for millions of people, the take-out coffee was part of their daily routine.
Many chains have been shut for several months, with a few independent places re-opening, particularly in coastal locations over the last few days as people have headed for the beaches as if there isn't a global pandemic.
Jennifer Ferreira is doing some research on our changing coffee consumption as a result of Covid-19, one of the first bits of research I've seen to explore the impacts on a particular industry. If you have a few minutes, perhaps while waiting for the kettle to boil, let Jennifer know how your habits have changed and your thoughts on the closure of coffee outlets.
