Coffee Monday: Celebrate National Coffee Week ~1920

What if he has discriminating tastes?

Happy Monday! Okay, folks. I’m going to take issue with national coffee week, which our cousins across the pond get to enjoy – for an entire week – while we here in the U.S. get a measly national coffee day. Only one day??? Is that any way to pay homage to the beverage that single handedly gets the American workforce up and out of bed every morning – the literal fuel to our entire economy?!? I ask you!

Well, it seems that 100 years ago, we, too, celebrated national coffee week. Not sure what happened in the intervening years, or how we lost our way. Here’s to Monday! (And enjoy coffee week by going and getting that second cup…)
