International Coffee Day (Espresso Day)

Every year on April 17, we celebrate the holiday of the aromatic and beloved drink – International Coffee Day (or Espresso Day). The date of the celebration was chosen in honor of the date of obtaining a patent by the Italian Achille Hagia for the creation of coffee machines, which took place on this day in 1938. The production of the espresso machine took place in 1901 thanks to, again, the Italian, Luigi Bezzera.

Humanity started drinking coffee in the 10th century. The first coffee house appeared in 1554 in Istanbul, where the tasting of the drink brought from Syria took place exclusively. Coffee appeared in Ukraine in 1672 thanks to the Turks, who opened the first coffee shop on the territory of our country in Kamianets-Podilskyi.
