My last name is Starbuck. No, I’m not kidding. When I met the man who I now call my husband and he told me his name, I didn’t believe it either. I immediately wondered if I had crossed paths with some wealthy young man who had the Starbuck’s Coffee empire fortune in his future. No, it was just a really cool last name.
That being said, we LOVE coffee. Not just because it’s the only thing that has kept us awake and functioning since becoming parents (really, we have joked about having coffee injected into our veins on those mornings where we barely slept an hour). Because we love the taste and the comfort it brings us. Mornings, afternoons, gloomy days, chilly days, sunny days … there are always reasons to have a cup of coffee.
We aren’t the only humans on the planet who are obsessed with the perfect nector from coffee beans. Apparently, according to market research – Americans consume 400 million cups of coffee per day. So, of course we have a holiday around it!
Welcome to one of my happiest days of the year! National Coffee Day is September 29!
