The Remote Worker’s Coffee Shop Guide

A practical PDF guide for anyone who works from cafes, at home or while travelling. Inside: cafe work etiquette that keeps you welcome at the table; a checklist for spotting a genuinely laptop-friendly cafe; wifi, power and security basics drawn from UK NCSC and US FTC guidance, including what a VPN does and does not do; espresso drinks explained, with ordering phrases in eight languages; tips for staying productive at a cafe table; general notes on cafe culture in Lisbon, Berlin, Bangkok, Bali, Mexico City, Istanbul, Marrakech and Melbourne; approximate coffee price ranges by city with currency conversions; official caffeine guidance from EFSA and the NHS; and a packable home coffee kit with two simple brewing recipes. Written for remote workers, freelancers and anyone who spends working hours in cafes, this is a general guide to habits and official facts, not a directory of named venues. Delivered as a PDF of approximately 45 to 55 pages with a clickable table of contents, last updated September 2026, for personal use.
