It’s the first character of 咖啡 (coffee) and I remember it by imagining myself holding two cups of it

The 九 and the 口 components when put together almost look like they’re spelling out “KA,” which phonetically helps me associate the character with the first half of 咖啡.

You take a sip of coffee with your 1. mouth. It is bitter at first (center). However, you continue to drink it again (another mouth).

Try to, think of it as a combination of two components: 口 (kǒu) meaning “mouth” and 可 (kě) meaning “able”. Start with the 口 shape and add the 可 stroke inside.

you can remember the 力 character being sandwiched by the two mouth characters, but to keep in mind that the right mouth is bigger than the left mouth character.

The middle character looks like its pouring a beverage (COFFEE) into the cup on the right. I think of the middle character as a barista and the cup on the left as a drink that is waiting to be made. The cup on the right is a prepared drink that the barista is handing to a customer.

It looks like a little family of 3 people. That enjoy going out together.
