World Coffee Day is Christmas for coffee lovers—a full 24 hours to appreciate the bean that fuels our mornings, gets us through long workdays and gives us the courage to reply to that never-ending email chain. But instead of just brewing your usual cup, why not turn your home into a mini coffee festival and, better yet, do it sustainably?
So, grab your favorite mug, sit back, and acknowledge these unique ideas to celebrate this ocassion. Here are five unique ways to make this International Coffee Day one for the history books:
1. Host a Virtual Coffee Tasting
Because Wine is So Last Year! We have all heard of wine tastings. But let’s be real—coffee is the superior beverage. Moreover, it won’t make you text your ex or buy a $400 unicorn-shaped lamp at 2 AM.
Why not take World Coffee Day as a chance to host a virtual coffee tasting with your friends or co-workers? Send out a Coffee Sampler Kit: Pick a few interesting blends—think Ethiopian Yirgacheffe, Colombian roast, or even a quirky mushroom coffee.
Be sure to consider organic coffee options offered on the official Brown Living websitie, so you can casually drop the fact that you’re saving the planet one cup at a time.
2. Embracing Sustainable Brewing Practices
Take a moment to explore new coffee pairings, even if it’s just for yourself. Try combining your coffee with unusual foods, like sharp cheese or citrus fruits. The combination of flavours might bring a sense of surprise and pleasure, offering a brief escape from your thoughts.
This small act of mindfulness can provide a sense of purpose and connection to a larger effort of sustainability, even on a day marked by solitude. Is it difficult? Yes. Will your first attempts look like an abstract blob instead of a heart? Also yes. But that’s half the fun!
Start Simple: All you need is some frothed milk and a steady hand. Try your best to make a heart, a leaf, or maybe even your dog’s face. If it doesn’t turn out? Call it "modern art" and sip it anyway.
Coffee Art (But Make It Paper): If foam art isn’t your thing, try painting with actual coffee! Brew a strong cup and grab a paintbrush. The sepia tones are perfect for creating beautiful artwork—and it gives your home a distinct “I’m an artist who drinks too much coffee” vibe.
3. Sustainable Brewing:
No More Coffee Guilt, Just Pure Brewed Bliss Single-use coffee pods are basically the villains of the coffee world. Convenient? Sure! Terrible for the environment? Absolutely. It’s time to level up your brewing game this International Coffee Day with some sustainable brewing methods that would make Mother Earth proud.
Switch to a French Press: No pods, no waste, just good brewed coffee. Or try a pour-over if you’re feeling fancy. It’s like your coffee is getting a spa treatment before it enters your big glasses. Plus, you can casually mention your choice in your next meeting, “Oh, this? Just had some organic coffee I picked up from Brown Living. No big deal.” Boom, instant coffee street cred.
4. Watch Coffee-Themed Films Alone:
Turn your coffee time into a solitary movie experience. Pour yourself a cup of sustainable coffee, and choose films that revolve around coffee. "Coffee and Cigarettes" might capture the quiet solitude that often accompanies our daily rituals. Let the film be a backdrop to your own thoughts, blending the solitude of cinema with the solitude of your coffee.
5. Repurpose Coffee Grounds as a Lonely Craft:
When the day feels particularly gray , consider using your used coffee grounds for a solitary craft. Mix them with coconut oil and sugar to create a coffee scrub, or make a few coffee-scented candles. These small, creative acts can be soothing, offering a sense of purpose and accomplishment amidst the quiet.
