In the US, they celebrate National Coffee Day on the 29th September, but for this year, 2015, the first official International Coffee Day is set for the 1st October, where 75 Member States of the International Coffee Organisations, and many other businesses, will be celebrating coffee in all its forms.
Join the 75 Member States of the International Coffee Organization and dozens of associations and businesses in celebrating coffee’s journey of diversity, quality and passion.
Many of us love a cup of coffee in a morning, and the growth of coffee shops in my local area seems to tell it’s own tale, with Starbucks and Costa shops seeming to spring up from nowhere.
I walked into Starbucks with my youngest a couple of days ago, and stood goggle eyed at the list of drinks. Apart from Cappuchino and Latte, I didn’t recognise any of them. I certainly had no idea that a Frappuchino even existed.
To help us along, Cafepoint have shared their 15 Types Of Coffee To Try Before You Die. From there, I learned how to actually make a Frappuchino at home, instead of costing me over £4 a go at our local coffee shop.
Perhaps I’ve been living under a very shielded cloud, but a Macchiato is something I’d never actually heard of in the past. The fact it includes caramel sauce and vanilla syrup means that, as a diabetic, it is pretty much off the list for me, but it sounds like another one my kids would like to try.

Frappuccino is definitely my favourite!
Espressos are lovely, Lattes divine, but if I only had one choice, it would be an Irish every time 😉
I love latte 🙂
Cafe Cubano. I have had it in Cuba and have been unable to replicate it at home. In Cuba they made it by roasting and grinding the coffee beans (ground using the equivalent of a ginat pestle and mortar) then filter the coffee through a muslin cloth several time, each time getting stronger and thicker. It is served with plenty of sugar.
It has an almighty kick but is delicious.
