Escape the daily grind on #InternationalCoffeeDay

Coffee gets us through early starts, perks us up mid-morning, and give us the boost to get through the afternoon. On Twitter, the conversation about coffee can be like the drink itself, strong and hot — so for the first #InternationalCoffeeDay, here’s a look at how Australia Tweets about its favourite bean.

Nearly every day, Aussies consume nearly 17 million* coffees. Whether you’re a caffeine snob who will only drink a rare blend, or you’re more partial to an instant brew, coffee is one of those things that can make any dull day brighter. Every day, many of us take to Twitter to espresso ourselves — talking about our coffee choices… and it’s clear we have a latte on our minds!

2. Espresso
3. Mocha
4. Cappuccino
5. Iced coffee
