Celebrate coffee on 1st October
International Coffee Day is a celebration of the coffee sector’s diversity, quality and passion. It is an opportunity for coffee lovers to share their love of the beverage and support the millions of farmers whose livelihoods depend on the aromatic crop.
Many countries around the world celebrate their own national coffee days at various dates throughout the year. In March 2014, the Member States of the ICO agreed to organise International Coffee Day on 1 October to create a single day of celebration for coffee lovers around the world.
Celebrate with the 77 Member States of the ICO and dozens of coffee associations from around the world. Visit www.internationalcoffeeday.org to find events near you.
How you can celebrate the day if you are a coffee lover ( or not!):
- Try a brew that you have never tasted before
- Make a coffee based dessert or beverage – add an exotic touch to it!
- Introduce someone you know to the magic of coffee
- Enroll in a coffee course or workshop
