If one wants to pour coffee, is it the Sunnah to start with the eldest and then proceed to his right?

The questioner : May Allah reward you with good... If one wants to pour coffee, does he start with the head of the gathering and take from his right?

The Shaykh : Yes, yes.

The questioner : Is this the Sunnah?

The Shaykh : The Sunnah is that when giving to the eldest of the people, he takes from his right.

The questioner : From the right of the one doing it.

The Shaykh : Yes, the one who is doing it now, the one who is serving.

The questioner : I reversed it.

The Shaykh : If he gives me the vessel, if he gives me the vessel, and let us suppose it is a vessel of milk, and I drink from it, or he takes it from me, I give it to the one on my right.

The questioner : And if he takes it, let him give.

The Shaykh : And if he takes it, he gives to the one on his right.
