A cup of coffee during a break in the working day will fill the body with energy and help you effectively work through the set hours.

History

The coffee break is a historical tradition. At the end of the 19th century, working conditions were very difficult, and Americans took a short break in the working day for 15-20 minutes to chat with colleagues and drink a cup of coffee. In the 1900s, an 8-hour working day was established, which included time for a short rest, allowing workers to make themselves a cup of coffee and relax.

In the 20th century, coffee breaks became a real tradition among workers. The streets of cities quickly filled with an abundance of coffee stalls where you could quickly and inexpensively order a cup of freshly brewed coffee. Coffee shops became very popular.
