The idea, begun in Naples, Italy, and called “Suspended Coffee” — i.e., a customer pays for acoffee and “banks” it for someone less fortunate who could use a jolt of caffeine and goodwill — has become an international internet sensation with coffee shops in Europe and NorthAmerica participating in the movement.

The tradition of “suspended coffee” — or “caffe sospeso” in Italian — is a long-standingtradition in Italy that increased in popularity after World War II. It has been identified as asymbol of grassroots social solidarity, prompting its revival in response to the 2008recession and ensuing eurozone crisis.
