About International Coffee Day
International Coffee Day is celebrated around the world on October 1, a day for coffee lovers to raise a cup to their favourite drink — and to recognise the millions of farmers and workers who grow and harvest it. The official global date was launched by the International Coffee Organization in 2015, uniting dozens of national coffee days that had sprung up around the world into a single worldwide celebration.
Cafés, roasters and coffee chains mark the day with free cups, discounts, tastings and new blends, while festivals and brewing demonstrations spotlight everything from espresso and pour-over to cold brew and latte art. The day also carries a serious message, drawing attention to fair pay, sustainability and the climate challenges facing the coffee-growing communities behind every cup.
