Late September and early October is a busy time for coffee enthusiasts, because right after National Coffee Day (September 29) comes International Coffee Day (October 1).
International Coffee Days have been celebrated in different countries since at least 1983, but it was officially launched in 2015 by the International Coffee Organization (ICO) at Expo 2015 in Milan, Italy.
➡️ Remember that International Coffee Day is not to be confused with National Coffee Day, which takes place on September 29 in USA, Canada and Australia.
International Coffee Day isn’t not only about enjoying a great cup of coffee; it also highlights the hard work of coffee farmers and others involved in bringing coffee from the fields to our cups. It’s a reminder to appreciate the global teamwork behind every delicious sip, as this year’s theme, “Embracing Collaboration,” shows. You can join in the celebration by enjoying a cup, supporting fair trade, and using the official hashtags #ICD2024 and #EmbracingCollaboration to share your coffee moments online.
Many businesses offer free or discounted coffee on this day, so it’s a great time to score a deal and support local cafes. You might even find special coupons or promotions on social media, adding to the excitement of the celebration.
➡️ Another important date to mark is National Coffee Day, celebrated on September 29th. It’s another fantastic opportunity to enjoy your favorite coffee, with many more coffee celebrations throughout the year.
So, on October 1st, grab your favorite cup, spread the love for coffee, and take a moment to appreciate the global journey it makes to reach your hands.
