[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree that ordering coffee after the check comes or well into dessert is rude.  
But it seems moderately rude to me not to offer coffee and tea to guests with dessert.  Nowadays when so many people have espresso machines or single service coffee machines it seems easier than it used to be.

It does sort of irritate me when hosts want to make a whole pot but don’t even start it until after all the dishes are cleared and cleaned from dinner.  My brother does this — it is late and we want to get on the road and he’s like “I’ll just put on the coffee….l” like it’s a totally unanticipated act each time.  [/quote]

I cannot wrap my head around how it is rude to not offer coffee or tea with dessert. That is such a crazy assumption. What if we don't drink tea or coffee ? What entitled, selfish thinking. I've invited you over for a meal or dessert and I'm rude for not providing your beverage of choice? I would never invite someone like you to my house again.[/quote]
