Coffee and tea in the film world

Coffee and tea is an integral part of many people's lives. Some people can't imagine a morning without their favorite cappuccino or a "little black" that sets them on their feet. In turn, others going to a meeting with friends dream of a comfortable couch, a cup of hot tea and hours of chatting. Have you wondered how this motif is used in big screen productions? You don't have to reach far back in your memory, because daily rituals are often the canvass of a story or a characteristic motif - in the famous TV series "Friends" it was coffee that was the companion of conversations, jokes, and even created the perfect aura for sharing one's problems. The already iconic scenes from the film "The Devil Wears Prada," where Andy (Anne Hataway) runs every morning to get a cup of coffee for her supervisor Miranda (Meryl Streep), are a perfect example of the philosophy of "don't go without coffee!".

Coffee rituals of actors

Is a cup of coffee or a mug of tea just an accessory to movie scenes? It turns out that they are not! Many actors can't imagine a break in filming without their favorite beverage. A well-known coffee devotee was Aundrey Hepburn - the Hollywood star known for such films as "Breakfast at Tiffany's." Apparently, she loved the beverage so much that directors themselves often suggested that her characters should also be lovers of small black. Perhaps that's why we can enjoy the eye with the famous scene of Hepburn looking at a store window with a croissant and a cup of coffee in hand. But what about the male part of the stars? Colin Farrel's friends admit that whenever he has a break on set, he sneaks off to a cafe to relax and unwind after demanding scenes in the peace and quiet of his favorite brew. Famous American director Quentin Tarantino, on the other hand, loves self-made coffee with a splash of milk.

Coffee - the main ingredient in a romantic comedy

The motif of coffee can be found in the comedy "How Romantic!". The protagonist, despite her grand plans to become a swashbuckling architect, serves sandwiches and brews, supposedly quite good, coffee. The perverse comedy received high marks, and the film itself was nominated five times. As it turns out, coffee can also be a great excuse to... meet the love of a lifetime! In the film "Taste of Love", Zoe Walker arrives in Salento - a town called "the capital of coffee country". - in Colombia. Her task is to develop a new coffee flavor. Unexpectedly, she meets an attractive man - Diego Valdez, the owner of a coffee farm. Although at first they did not have a great fondness for each other, after many hours spent harvesting the crop, the acquaintance turned into a deeper affection....

Inspirational cups of tea

Right next to coffee, there is also the theme of tea in many films - from dramas ("How to be a King," "Game of Secrets") to fantasy ("Alice in Wonderland") to comedies ("Groundhog Day"). Tea did not come to the fore in films, but it was such a prominent element that, for example, after the release of "Alice in Wonderland," many brands tried to replicate the distinctive cups in which the famous beverage was drunk.
