☺️ 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 🧡💜
