History of National Coffee Break Day:

Numerous tales and legends about the beginnings of the stop for coffee speculate as to how this American custom came to be. We can give you a short history of the beginnings of this fantastic day. We may all credit the 1955 legal proceeding named U.S. v. Phil Greinetz about Los Wigwam Weavers for the invention of the coffee breaks. Greinetz ran Los Wigwam Weavers, an apparel business in Denver, yet he needed help to recruit workers for the labour-intensive task of producing ties.

He instituted required coffee breaks to boost productivity and give workers the fuel to finish their tasks and stay attentive. The U.S. got involved when he refused to pay the workers for the coffee break. The US court got involved to help the employees. Protest emerged, and workers were eventually paid for the break. Since that time people can enjoy their 10 minutes of coffee break in the office. This story is just one of the reason for the emergence of the day.

Several businesses in the latter part of the nineteenth century found that allowing industry workers a caffeine break in the middle of the early hours and the middle of their lunch break would motivate them to continue working harder. The custom of having a coffee break is currently a significant component of working culture in most American organizations and firms, whether it was agreed upon by the employees or promoted by the management.

Having a mid-morning or mid-afternoon snacking hour grew widespread in nineteenth-century British society. While it might have even contained alcohol initially, it served as a break for employees. Eventually, it evolved into an early-morning tea or coffee stop known as “elevenses.” Naturally, this would happen around 11:00 am. So that is one of the tales of how coffee breaks might have evolved from alcohol. Although the person who coined the term coffee break has yet to be known to us, we sure have much to thank him for.
