Just 15 GIFs Of Lorelai Gilmore & Coffee To Help You Celebrate National Coffee Day

I don't need an excuse to rewatch Gilmore Girls — any time is the right time to marathon one or five episodes of that show — but, I think it goes without saying that there truly is no better time to watch the show than Lorelai Gilmore's favorite day, National Coffee Day, which takes place on Sept. 29. With a cup of coffee in hand, of course. Lorelai (and Rory!) would be so proud.

It's no secret that Lorelai Gilmore loves her coffee. She loves her coffee so much, she's been known to drink up to eight cups a day — a feat that no mortal could ever really survive, but then again, no mortal is Lorelai Gilmore. If you're gonna celebrate National Coffee Day this Saturday, Sept. 29, you sort of have to pay homage to Lorelai in some way. Whether that's instagramming your latté and captioning the pic with a cute Lorelai quote (let's be real: If Lorelai had Instagram, her feed would be only pictures of coffee, Rory, and Paul Anka the dog), or just looking at some fun GIFs of Lorelai Gilmore and coffee, you can't go wrong any way you choose to celebrate.

That in mind, I've hand-picked the absolute best GIFs of Lorelai Gilmore that truly represent her passion and love for all things coffee. Take a walk (or more like scroll) down memory lane with me, and make sure you have a cup (or three) of fresh java in hand for maximum nostalgia.
