Abstract

Coffee is like a human figure who tolerates its connoisseurs. Coffee communicates and gives social meaning. Coffee not only has a meaning as a daily drink, but coffee also has the meaning of something else for its connoisseurs. This study aims to reveal coffee tolerance among its connoisseurs so as to produce social meanings. Research data was obtained through observation and interviews with respondents (café visitors and tourists). This paper concludes that coffee tolerance and its connoisseurs produce social meanings for its connoisseurs: coffee is identity, inspiration, love, solution, passion, friend, motivation, cooperation, change, and cohesion.
