I have tried to use Coffee Stop several times. But it doesn’t work good enough. It takes over for an instant but then it stops and it goes on and on. In the end I just start to pedal again. So maybe you could look into that. Thanks
Were you pedaling when it started up again? There’s some threshold of pedaling where it will automatically turn off coffee stop I believe.
When I press the button Coffee Stop. It says stop pedalling. Then I stop. Then it starts overtaking and I can relax. But after a short while it stops completely and I just stand there. Then I get a little 
and start to pedal again. And suddenly it’s works again for short time and stop. Then I give up and start to pedalling again. And then the ikon disappears and I’m back to normal again

that sounds very odd. Is this in free riders or events?
Does it happen no matter on group sizes?
Was this in a group ride or a free ride? It does shut off automatically at 15 minutes to go in timed events, or 5km to go in distance based events. Ride leaders have to yell at participants to start pedaling or get dropped.
I only do free rides

Did everyone ride off and leave you by yourself? The coffee stop needs a rider to link you to …
Yes, I did.

Sorry, I don’t understand this as a reply to my question.
Okay. I will try to find out what to do in the future and link to another driver.
Thanks for your time and understanding.

Just make sure there’s a few riders around you before triggering the coffee stop. That way the game has a better chance of linking you to a rider who’s going to keep riding for the duration of your break.
You can’t choose who you link to. The game does it automatically.
I’ve noticed that if you do a combination of rides on different routes, such as free ride, switch to pacer, back to free ride, or another pacer, the coffee stop timer is cumulative and you can use it after 30 mins of total riding, even if the current ride is less than that. However, if (for example) you warm up on one route, switch to a race for say 30-40 mins, then switch back to where you were (using the Zwift prompt), then the coffee stop counter seems to start again and you need to ride for a full 30 mins before being able to use it.
Providing the riding is continuous (ie not saved and new ride started), I’d strongly prefer to have the race time count towards the coffee stop availability during the subsequent ride.
