International Coffee Day
WHO’S ADDICTED?
Celebrate International Coffee Day
Is there anything better in the morning than the promise of a fresh pot of coffee? How about the first sip from your mug? If you’re a fellow coffee devotee, you’re in good company. Oct. 1 is International Coffee Day, a celebration of the liquid magic that fuels people around the globe. From iced lattes to tiny cups filled with strong espresso, the world loves coffee. Here are three facts you may not know about the popular morning beverage. Coffee was almost banned inTurkey and Italy. In the 16th century, in both the Ottoman Empire and Italy, leaders attempted to ban coffee, fearing it would
encourage radical thinking and political dissent.Thank goodness for Pope Clement VIII! He’s said to have taken one taste of the beverage and put to rest any discussion of banning it. “It should be baptized,” he supposedly declared. In Brazil, don’t ask for a cappuccino — it’s a cafeziñho. As in many South American and European countries, Brazilians don’t drink a large cup of coffee.They drink cafeziñho, a small cup of very strong coffee, traditionally sweetened with sugar. In Brazil, cafeziñho isn’t just a drink; it’s a ritual symbolic of the welcomeness and hospitality of a country that has long been the world’s top producer of coffee.
We’re not the most coffee-obsessed country, nor is Brazil. It’s Finland. You might be surprised that neither the United States nor Brazil consumes the most coffee in the world. Coming in at the No. 1 spot for most coffee consumed per person, per year, Finns are a coffee-loving people.The average person consumes 4–5 cups a day, though some report having as many as 10! Coffee is so popular there that it’s even been written into the law: Employers are required to give employees an official coffee break at work.
