Unlike exquisitely packaged coffee drinks on the market, school coffee is directly served in large capacity barrels, just like free soup in the cafeteria. Students can pick up small bowls as needed, and there is no limit to the amount available for free.

The school has free soup every day, just pick it up by yourself with a small bowl nearby, it's free, "Bi Tongxue said. Perhaps because not every student likes to drink coffee, there is still a bucket of free soup available for pickup that day.
