📝 About International Coffee Day 2026
Officially launched by the International Coffee Organization on October 1, 2015, in Milan during Expo 2015, International Coffee Day celebrates a beverage whose origin legend traces to an Ethiopian goat herder named Kaldi, who noticed his goats dancing energetically after eating certain berries around the 9th century. Today coffee is the world's second-most traded commodity after crude oil, with over 2.25 billion cups consumed daily and a global industry worth over $450 billion annually. The day highlights challenges facing the estimated 25 million smallholder farmers who grow 80% of the world's coffee, many living below the poverty line. Fair trade certifications have grown significantly since the day's establishment, and the event promotes coffee culture from Ethiopian ceremony to Italian espresso tradition.
