Buying a cup of coffee in a café can be a real treat - but what would you do if you couldn't afford one? Would you go without? You could ask for a suspended coffee instead.

Jennifer: A suspended coffee is where you donate, or give, money for a coffee that someone can drink later. Neil: So, someone can come into a coffee shop and ask for a coffee that someone else has paid for? Jennifer: That’s correct. So, when you buy your morning coffee, you might hand over £4 – that’s £2 for the coffee you want to drink and £2 for a suspended coffee for someone else. Neil: That’s an interesting idea. So who would drink a suspended coffee?
