Why International Coffee Day?
On an International Coffee Day one agreed only last year – more precisely the International Coffee Organisation.
On the same day, Japan has been celebrating the hot drink since 1983, the first country in the world. Finally, the Japanese are the third largest coffee importers (behind Germany (2) and the USA (1)).
Besides the International Coffee Day, in the USA, the National Coffee Day was celebrated for the first time on 29 September 2005, where large diner and fast food chains distributed free coffee to their customers.
By the way, the Germans drink more coffee than water or beer with 0.41 l of coffee a day! Only the Dutch and Scandinavians drink more in Europe.
