What's the allure (魅力) of coffee shops? It’s been said that J.K. Rowling wrote the Harry Potter books sitting in one in Edinburgh.
Many people spend hours in these places enjoying a coffee as they work on their laptops(手提电脑). But if you’re spending all day buying one expensive coffee after another and haven’t sold your first novel yet, the cost can really add up.
For those who work outside of a traditional office or just want to take time out, there's a new place in London: a pay-per-minute cafe.
You can linger for as long as you like in the Ziferblat coffee shop. You just take a clock by the door to keep time. When you leave, you return it and pay the bill.
The cost of hanging out, eating, working and meeting people in the place is 3 pennies per minute. The shop’s owner, Ivan Meetin, says, “Everything is free except the time you spend here.”
Customers help themselves to coffee and cookies. They can also bring their own food while surfing(冲浪) the Internet through free wifi.
Meetin’s customers clearly are not the kinds who rush work with a paper cup to drink from at their desks. Some feel so much at home that they have to wash the dishes. The coffee shop’s atmosphere is relaxing and a bit informal.
These coffee shops, where you pay for the time and not for the cup, have proved popular in Russia. Only time will tell if the British will warm to the idea.
But I’d like to try it at least once. Who knows — I might even start writing my own novel. If coffee shops are good enough for J.K. Rowling to spend quality time in, why can’t I?
