What and When is the National Coffee Day? 

National Coffee Day, or September 29th of every year, is when the United States celebrates coffee. On this day, we support local coffee farmers and establishments to show them our appreciation for making coffee available to us.  

Though National Coffee Day may be celebrated on a different day for other countries, it is the same in the sense that it is a day used to advocate and promote our favorite caffeinated drink. 

Thankfully, to unify coffee lovers around the world, the International Coffee Organization (ICO) declared October 1 of every year as the International Coffee Day.

I have been brewing and drinking coffee for almost 6 years now. At first, I was just dazzled by how baristas look and that's why I started learning. In the long run, I became obsessed with its charm. I have tried many coffee brewing methods, with different kinds of beans in various roast levels. If I could have more than 4 cups of coffee a day, I definitely would!
