International Coffee Day, marked on the first of October since the 1980s, is a day designated for coffee lovers worldwide to enjoy their favourite brew.
Every year, coffee businesses and caffeine addicts take too to social media to share images of latte art masterpieces, beans, and all manner of other coffee aesthetics.

The world is practically addicted to coffee. Every day, 95 million cups of the good stuff are consumed in the UK alone. That figure soars to an astounding 2 billion on a global scale. Nearly all of us have a preferred coffee type, whether the fancy-flavoured cappuccinos you sip on the way to work or the purists who only drink espresso.
You’re approachable and flexible, but you don’t put up with nonsense.
You’re composed and motivated and really appreciate the little things in life.
You’re a classic but quiet person who exudes self-assurance and humour.
You’re a purist and a traditionalist who likes things your way and appreciates routine in your life.
You’re cheerful, lively, and have a dash of passion.
You may not be a huge coffee fan, but you have a youthful spirit and appreciate the caffeine pick-me-up.
You’re traditional and easygoing; in an uncharted environment, you want to take the safe route.
You’re relaxed and confident, and you don’t let the weather dictate how you live your life.
You’re not a fan of the unknown; you understand life’s risk factors and prefer to play safely when given a choice.
