Coffee has become such a central part of cultures everywhere, it has evolved into a language understood by so many of its loyal fans and diehard consumers.
And so, fittingly, International Coffee Day is here; Oct 1, to be precise, a day that pays tribute to the reign of coffee in millions of lives across the globe, across cultures and borders. Isn’t that worth a celebration? Of course it is, which is why the good folks at the International Coffee Organisation launched International Coffee Day in 2015 in Milan, a city that, much like its Italian sibling cities and towns, reveres coffee. How quintessential is an espresso in Italian culture?
