So dinner guests linger a bit, rather than reveal that they came only for the eats. "A bit" is more easily defined when the hosts serve coffee. It takes perhaps half an hour to serve and drink the coffee, after which you are free to go. Not too much longer, however. You don't want the hosts to begin to think that the guests came not just for the meal but for the duration.

This is what a british friend told me about us drinking coffee instead of tea after dinner. When I asked him the same question about tea. He told me we drank coffee after dinner because we didn't have enough class to drink tea.
