Did you know? The first official International Coffee Day took place on October 1, 2015 at the World Expo 2015 in Milan. More than just a celebration, the day dedicated to the aromatic brewed beverage was also used to promote fair trade coffee and to increase awareness of the plight of the coffee growers. However, numerous events in honour of the bean have taken place in previous years, within specific countries.
