KICKING | Back with a Cup of Joe
There is almost a day to celebrate everything in 2024 so why not Melbourne's favourite brew?
International Coffee Day is a global celebration of coffee's journey from the farm to your local shop - an opportunity to honour the women and men who grow and harvest the coffee we love.
What happens on International Coffee Day? It's simple really, enjoy a cup of coffee (or two). Whats new? But it is also a perfect day to bring awareness to fair trade coffee.
Space2b supports new migrants and refugees and we are proud to support Genet, who has started a small business offering freshly roasted organic Ethiopian Arabica beans and ground coffee which supports small family growers in Ethiopia. Genet's Kaffa Goat organic coffee is available from Space2b from $19.95. Happy International Coffee Day!
