It’s International Coffee Day, and what better way to celebrate than with a freshly brewed cup from Cafe2U? But first, let’s take a quick look at how this global celebration of coffee came to be and why we all love it so much!
The Origins of International Coffee Day
International Coffee Day was officially launched in 2015 by the International Coffee Organization (ICO). It’s celebrated on 1st October each year, recognising not only the joy coffee brings to millions but also the farmers, roasters and baristas who make it all possible. The day is also a chance to raise awareness of the need for fair trade and sustainable coffee practices around the world.
Coffee by the Numbers: How Much Do We Really Drink?
It’s no secret that coffee is one of the world’s favourite drinks - whether it’s that early-morning flat white, a lunchtime espresso or an afternoon cappuccino. Globally, we consume around 2 billion cups of coffee every single day and here in the UK, we’re drinking around 98 million cups daily - that’s a lot of caffeine!
Why We Love Coffee
Coffee doesn’t just taste great, it has some great benefits too. It’s been shown to help improve concentration, boost energy levels and it's packed with antioxidants that are good for your overall health. Plus, let’s be honest, it’s the perfect excuse for a break - whether you’re catching up with friends, getting through the workday or just need five minutes to yourself.
