Black Friday has become one of the biggest shopping moments of the year — but its roots go back further than most people realise. The term first appeared in the 1960s in Philadelphia, where police used it to describe the surge of shoppers hitting the streets the day after Thanksgiving. Over time, retailers embraced it as the unofficial start of the holiday season, offering once-a-year deals to kick things off. Today, it’s a global event — but for small and specialty businesses like ours, it’s also a chance to pause, reflect, and give something meaningful back to the people who support us all year long.
That’s exactly why this weekend, you can enjoy 20% off everything online at Coffee World*:
Why We’re Taking Part
As a specialty coffee business, we’re usually quite selective about sales. Our focus is always on sourcing carefully, roasting with precision, and delivering flavour that does justice to the farmers we work with. But Black Friday gives us a rare opportunity to genuinely give back to our community without compromising on quality.
Here’s what this weekend means to us:
A Thank You to Our Customers
You support us through busy weeks, quiet weeks, new product launches, and everything in between. Offering 20% off is our way of saying thank you — not just with words, but with something that helps you enjoy even better coffee at home.
Quality That Still Meets the Standard
Nothing about our process changes during Black Friday. We still roast in small batches. We still cup every batch. We still choose beans based on flavour, sustainability, and long-term relationships. The discount doesn’t dilute the quality.
A Chance to Explore More of What You Love
Maybe you’ve been eyeing a new origin, curious about our academy courses, or wanting to upgrade your kit. This weekend is the perfect moment to explore without stretching your budget.
Try a New Origin or Processing Style
If you usually gravitate toward natural Ethiopians, try exploring a washed Colombian or experiment with a honey-processed Costa Rican. Black Friday is the ideal time to broaden your palate and discover something new.
