Sipping coffee is one of our greatest pleasures: black coffee (in pinjan or mud), espresso (short or long), reverse coffee (whether with regular milk or soy milk), iced coffee, Ness and many more and varied options and For most of us, this is a regular habit that even gains a ceremonial status and symbolizes moments of time out in the daily routine and gives us pleasure.

The extent of our Israeli consumption, by the way, is estimated at about 3.5 kg of coffee per year (this refers to the amount of raw material from which we produce the stimulating drink). In Italy the average amount is 5.6 kg per person, in the UK only 2.4 kg (probably the British still prefer tea to coffee) while in the Scandinavian countries, it turns out, they love coffee a lot: in Sweden the average amount of consumption is 8.2 kg per person, in Norway and Denmark a little more than 9 kg and in Finland - 12 kg!

But as mentioned, we Israelis also have a strong fondness for coffee - and if it's coffee, why don't we add it to our home coffee table To strengthen the assumption that we are full every time we stop the race of life in favor of a cup of coffee?

Wood, iron, plastic or aluminum?

A coffee table can be made from almost any material on earth, and in particular you can find coffee tables from wood, from iron, plastic or aluminum.

Wood is a particularly popular choice: in general, we often use this raw material and turn it into chairs, cabinets, wall coverings, pergolas, swings, and much more, and the coffee table will also benefit from the qualities of wood - durability, positive energies (among other things, harmony, tenderness and at the same time resilience, connection to nature and calmness) and pleasant aesthetics that fit well in any space.

The plastic conveys simplicity and most tables made of this raw material will benefit from a relatively low price, the aluminum will give the coffee table a modern, somewhat high-tech appearance, while coffee tables made of iron will demonstrate a massive and even classic presence in a certain sense (if you like, they create an association of medieval castles and Knights of Goats Look).

A wide range of design options

Not only a wide variety of materials: the coffee tables can also be designed in countless ways - and those who watched the cult series "Seinfeld" probably remember Kramer's idea to produce a coffee table that is also a book about the coffee tables of celebrities.

This is also one of the other reasons for the popularity of this item: at a fairly low cost, it contributes to the aesthetics of the space in which it is placed, so that when choosing a coffee table from the variety of options available today, its appearance is obviously one of the main considerations in the decision.
