I'm confused. What's the difference between 'morning coffee' and 'coffee morning'?

Question

If I want to put it as one of the facilities audiences will get by attending a seminar, which term should I use? 'Morning coffee' or 'Coffee morning'?

Thanks.

Answer 1

A ''Coffee Morning'' is an event when people specifically come to drink coffee and eat cakes

''Morning Coffee'' just means coffee you drink in the morning.



If you are just serving coffee at a seminar then I'd use ''COFFEE PROVIDED''

Answer 2

Morning coffee is having coffee in the morning, usually for a mid-morning break. A coffee morning is a specific morning event where people come just to socialise, chat, drink coffee and eat cakes and biscuits. Sometimes people have them as a charity fund-raiser. It wouldn't be part of anything else. Rather the same thing as a lady at my former church used to do - "Come to Tea!" at her house in the afternoon, there's tea and coffee and cakes, there's information available about a church charity and we give money to support it.



For your purpose, just call it "coffee" and say when it will be available. Then nobody can possibly be confused. I've been to plenty of seminars and conferences, and it will just be "coffee" on the timetable if it is served at a specific time, or "coffee on arrival" if it's going to be there for people to have a cup before the seminar starts.



Or as I'm British, it always turns out to be "coffee or tea"!

Answer 3

Morning coffee. A coffee morning is where people turn up for an event. and have coffee and cakes.

Not used for a Seminar.
