International Coffee Day is celebrated every year on 1 October. It was established by the International Coffee Organization and first officially marked in 2015 at Expo Milano. It is a holiday for baristas, roasters, café owners and everyone who cannot imagine a morning without a cup of coffee. Below are short Coffee Day wishes, messages for baristas and coffee-loving friends, funny lines, poems and gift ideas to go with coffee.
Happy International Coffee Day! May every morning start with the perfect cup.
Happy Coffee Day! Energy, inspiration and an aromatic mood.
Happy 1 October! May life be as strong as espresso and as smooth as a cappuccino.
Coffee is the perfect excuse to meet. See you at our café! Happy holiday!
For baristas and cafés
Dear baristas, thank you for the perfect foam, latte art and smiles at 7 a.m. Happy holiday!
May your café enjoy loyal guests, fresh beans and queues that cheer rather than tire.
For coffee-loving friends
Happy Coffee Day, my friend! Let us celebrate the way we do best: over a cup and a long chat.
May your life have as many lovely moments as the cappuccinos we have shared!
Funny wishes
Coffee first, wishes second. Now we can: happy Coffee Day!
May your coffee always be hot and your deadlines cold and far away.
For colleagues
Colleagues, happy Coffee Day! Thank you for every shared coffee break; that is where the best ideas are born.
May the office coffee machine never break down and the milk never run out!
Coffee Day poems
May every morning start with coffee, Strong and warm and rich and sweet; May life be smooth as creamy toffee And every day a lovely treat!
A cup of coffee and a smile, The recipe for a perfect day; May joy stay with you all the while And worries simply melt away!
Gift ideas for a coffee lover
Coffee lovers appreciate gifts tied to their favourite drink: freshly roasted beans, a nice mug, a cezve, a hand grinder or a café voucher. Add sweets and a small bouquet for a cosy morning, and a coffee-coloured teddy makes a sweet surprise for a friend.
