Every year on October 1st, the international day is intended to celebrate coffee and recognize the millions of people around the world: farmers, roasters, baristas, coffeehouse owners and more, who work hard to create and serve the drink we love.
International Coffee Organization dedicates the focus of the 2020 edition to a collective mission to help coffee farmers around the world to receive a fair and viable income with the program Coffee’s next generation to specifically support the next generation of young producers.
Catarina explains it better:
In case you are interested, here is a small summary of some scheduled events:
Starbucks Reserve Roastery Milan offers a coffee tasting of the “Anniversary Blend” but pay attention to the specific time slots: from 9 a.m. to 9.30, from 11 a.m. to 11.30, from 2 p.m. to 2.30 and from 4 p.m. to 4.30, excluding the Malpensa Terminal 1 and Cordusio premises.
Talent Garden Calabiana organizes an outdoor community breakfast sponsored by Lavazza.
Cimbali will host the first live broadcast of the Italian Coffee Network full of interviews, demonstrations and webinars in collaboration with the trainers of the Mumac Academy, organized by Istituto Espresso Italiano, SCA Italy and Consorzio di Tutela del Caffé Espresso.
On the other hand, at Caffé Gambrinus, the From the bean to the cup event has unfortunately been canceled.
Just as on the Milano Caffè website nothing appears.
And it is a real shame because never before would it be appropriate to encourage the cafes that have been particularly affected.
For this reason I find the initiative of La Genovese Caffé nice: Offer a coffee to your bartender which proposes to overturn the roles leaving for once a suspended coffee for the one who prepares it, in order to express closeness and sympathy.
Or more simply as indicated here
On October 1st, World Coffee Day, users are invited to take a photo or screenshot of their coffee date and post it and tag @juliusmeinlofficial to support a global cause.
For each contribution that uses the @juliusmeinlofficial tag during the campaign period, be it a comment, post or story, Julius Meinl will contribute € 1 (or the equivalent in USD) in support of Worldreader up to a total of 11,534 $ (Eleven Thousand Five One hundred and thirty-four US dollars).
Another BEAUTIFUL THING is: Meet with a poem!
Among other things, speaking of poems, I could tag important friends.
The explanation of the initiative appears on the website: Julius Meinl who is the organizer and foresees a poem to be written together with a dear friend to receive two special coffees in exchange.
But ours are always special coffees, right !?
I learn something new on your blog every day, Claudia; For example, I did not know that the 1st of October is the “International Coffee Day”. For me, every day is ca offee day. Without coffee I would hardly survive …
Thanks Olivia!!
For me too, every day is coffee day!
Your slogan is GREAT!!
Since you asked for a poem in your text, I am sending you my first “coffee haiku”:
Such heavenly joy
A cup full of hot coffee
sweet with cinnamon
Olivia!!!!
THANK YOU so so much!
Your haiku is simply perfect!
<3
Here is my second “coffee haiku” for you, Claudia:
Lovely Moscow
Drinking hot coffee at the
Magnolia shop
Lovely YOU!
It is half past midnight in Moscow. Morning is coming soon, and here is my morning coffee haiku for you, Claudia:
Heavenly morning
Early up in the kitchen
With a good coffee
Olivia !! <3
Such a BEAUTIFUL thought and such a special good morning deserves a great answer!
THANKS THANKS THANKS!
I love Luciano Pavarotti’s voice, a marvellous singer.
I got up very early this morning, so this is my “coffee haiku” for today:
Drink a thousand cups
Of coffee in your life
To greet the morning
These are for all your cups!
THANK YOU SO MUCH Olivia!
This is a beautiful photo, Claudia, all those cups and flowers, arranged in a circle. It is a coffee mandala.
This inspires me to send you one more “coffee haiku” for the day. There was a bit of rain this afternoon in Moscow, so here we go:
Soft rain in Moscow
Whispering on the roof top
My coffee answers
Dear dear dear Olivia!!
Wishful thinking, I do not have any kittens, but in my imagination they are here:
Three little kittens
Treading around my coffee
With sniffs and meows
A really beautiful image.
Kittens and coffee: perfect!!
I don’t think that cats like coffee but they certainly like to sit or lie on the table. They will take any excuse to do that.
Here is another animal, the “hero” of my coffee haiku:
A tiny fly flew
Into my cup of coffee
Poor fly she drowned
