If there’s one thing uniquely Filipino, it’s the way we treat the Ber months (September to December) as one long, four-month holiday countdown. By the time September 1 hits, Jose Mari Chan is already serenading malls, parols light up neighborhoods, and suddenly we start craving warm drinks.
And what’s the drink that never leaves our tables, offices, and early mornings? Coffee, of course! Here’s how coffee makes the longest holiday season in the world even more special:
1. Coffee fuels the Simbang Gabi tradition
Nothing says “Ber months” like waking up at 4 AM for Simbang Gabi. But let’s be real—without coffee, we probably wouldn’t even make it to mass. A warm cup of brewed coffee, paired with bibingka or puto bumbong, is the ultimate reward for our early morning devotion.
2. Coffee keeps the office parties alive
From September to December, office calendars get booked with Christmas parties, exchange gifts, and endless team dinners. Coffee is that reliable plus-one, keeping us awake for last-minute presentations and giving us energy to join the dance showdown later that night.
3. Coffee makes gatherings extra cozy
Family reunions, barkada catch-ups, and small house parties feel more festive with coffee on the table. It’s not just about caffeine, it’s about sharing stories, laughter, and bonding over something warm while Mariah Carey belts out in the background.
4. Coffee is the underrated holiday gift
Move over fruitcakes and generic mugs, freshly roasted whole beans from Intuit Coffee are thoughtful and useful gifts. Perfect for anyone in your family who loves their French press or who just set up their own home café.
5. Coffee welcomes the New Year with us
After the midnight feast, when the kids are lighting sparklers and adults are waiting for the karaoke queue, coffee becomes the perfect late-night companion. It helps us stay awake to greet 12:01 AM with hope, resolutions, and maybe another slice of lechon.
