International Coffee Day 2024

Sip, Sip Hooray! Starbucks Celebrates Coffee Day with a Duo to Brew About!

Get ready to perk up your October because International Coffee Day at Starbucks is brewing something special with Milano Duetto!

International Coffee Day is just around the corner, and there's no better place to celebrate than your local Starbucks! This October, Starbucks is taking coffee appreciation to a whole new level with the introduction of its delightful Milano Duetto, featuring the exotic blends of the Milano Sole and Milano Luna. For the entire month, coffee enthusiasts can enjoy these light and dark roast coffees that promise to tantalize your taste buds and elevate your coffee-drinking experience. With every sip, you'll feel like you're taking a mini-vacation to the Italian countryside, all while supporting your favorite coffee shop!

Imagine curling up in your favorite café or basking in the sun at one of Starbucks' outdoor decks, cupping a steaming mug of Milano Sole, the light roast that sings sweet citrus notes and a silky finish. Alternatively, for those who prefer a bold punch of flavor, the Milano Luna is where it’s at! This rich dark roast serves up chocolatey undertones mingled with an earthy finish, giving your caffeine fix the warmer vibes perfect for those cool rushes approaching. Whats more, nothing tastes quite as good as knowing that you're part of a global celebration of coffee.

To commemorate this special occasion, Starbucks is rolling out special offers along with events and tastings at participating locations. Be on the lookout for exclusive merchandise featuring your favorite coffee drinks and virtually commemorate with friends and family with a coffee-tasting party. Nothing says friends like sipping on a delicious brew together while sharing your most bizarre coffee experiences. Maybe even a spill or two?

And the fun doesn't stop there! As you sip your coffee this October, why not engage in conversations about why coffee is the second most traded commodity globally? Did you know that the first coffeehouses opened in the Middle East in the 15th century, and they were known as gathering places that inspired creativity, game nights, and community discussions? So grab your Milano Duetto, and share your coffee story with your new friends in the café. Who knows? You might just inspire the next biggest trend in the community!

If you’re someone who likes to caffeinate and educate, here’s a cool fact to appraise your coffee knowledge. Did you know that Australians consume approximately 3.5 kilograms of coffee per person annually? That's nearly nine cups a week! Also, while the traditional cup of coffee is known worldwide, espresso is the grandfather of all coffee drinks. It was invented in Italy and set the stage for many of our beloved coffee beverages today. So this International Coffee Day, don’t just enjoy your brew, celebrate the culture and history that comes with every cup!
