Wake up, it’s International Coffee Day! For me every day is a coffee celebration day, however International Coffee Day is an occasion that is used to promote and celebrate coffee as a beverage with events now occurring in places across the world. The first official date was October 1, 2015, as agreed upon by the International Coffee Organization. The day was launched in, yup you guessed it, Italy. It’s celebrated on a different day depending on where you live, so if you’re in the states, today is your day! I’m overseas where it’s celebrated on October 1, so I have to wait until Monday :((

So go out for coffee today and see if your local shops are doing anything special to celebrate. If they’ve forgotten, remind them it’s International Coffee Day, and you’re there to celebrate. There just might be a few extra espresso shots waiting for you……who knows? I’m curious if anyone finds their favorite coffee shops in celebration mode. Let me know!
