International Coffee Day is coming up!

[ByronInPortland]

I just learned that this Saturday, Sept 29, is International Coffee Day!🙂

It's been happening since 1983 and I didn't even know it. This is a big day for those of us fueled by caffeine. Wikipedia has an entry on it, including a photo of a cup of coffee, for people who don't know what one looks like.

Bring on the Dark Magic Brew

WoO hoo! 😀 Thanks for letting us know!
Those who know me well know that I LOVE coffee. I will have to bring some special beans to share with my family as I will be going to my home town for a wedding this weekend.
My current favorite is the organic fair trade Honduran from Trader Joes. That's a nice one, and a great price for such a good product! Mmmm Coffee...
Cheers!

It was only recently discovered that one cup of coffee reduces blood flow to the brain by 40%.

I must have been brain dead for the last 30 years and just didn't notice.

That tells you the brain doesn't need that much blood. And where does that 40% deviate to? I'd like to know Viagra numbers.

When I was a kid I was told I could get red hairs from drinking coffee.

It was only recently discovered that missing one's regular cup of coffee reduces blood flow to the brain by 40%.

Fixed it. 😀
Now back to your regularly caffeinated program...

von.ah,
Thanks.

I have been on a forced no caffeine, no alcohol, no dairy diet for three weeks due to some health issues. Not much fun. The doctor says I can have one cup if I am good.
Can't say the no coffee has helped by brain any. I am still stressed out by someone I work with that has a personal agenda that does not match the company goals. If I had enough beer, maybe I wouldn't care, but no beer either!

But but but EVERY day is coffee day

Hands up those whose preferred brew is plunger?
And just for tvrgeek when I was looking th other day I swear I saw coffee flavoured beer

I've been roasting coffee for the past 5 years.

Green beans are the only way to go.

Coffee Stout or Coffee Porter. Cold steep the coffee and you avoid any bitterness. I think I used a 6oz of coffee for a 5 gallon batch.
