Mio (Biou) · Osaka University of Economics Coffee Club | Coffee speaks of culture and encounters

Column

Do you know what the world's coffee culture is like? Coffee is one of the things that represents cultures around the world.

In Italy, espresso culture has become everyday life, with a few minutes of standing drinking marking the rhythm of daily life, while in the Nordic countries, the transparency of light roasts has become a symbol of harmony with nature and living.

In Turkey, a rich cup brewed with the grounds deepens divination and bonds between people, and in Ethiopia, a ceremony that begins with roasting has become a symbol of people's prayers.

In the United States, a free coffee with added variations has become a symbol, and in Japan, café culture has spread, fostering quietness and attentiveness, making coffee a drink that enjoys space more than words.

Thus, what may seem at first glance just a black liquid actually carries completely different meanings when you look at the world.

Even the same thing changes meaning when the culture or region is different.

This also varies from university to university.

For example, some universities focus on taste while others focus on booths. At Osaka University of Economics, we have more students who can communicate compared to other universities!

Please come to our booth, talk about various things, and discuss together what coffee means to you.

Activity Introduction

We meet twice a month, and normally we hold drip coffee gatherings, café tours, and participate in external events with booths.

Greetings to readers and enthusiasm for the event

The Osaka University of Economics Coffee Club is a lively circle with over 70 members.

With the motto “Connecting people through coffee,” we actively engage both on and off campus.

We are a serious group that handles everything from roasting beans to extracting drip coffee ourselves, and in recent years we have also been focusing on social contribution activities.

Each member offers a cup made with their own feelings, so please come to the venue and talk over coffee.
