There's nothing like a refreshing cup of joe to quicken the senses and put a spring in your step. According to the National Coffee Association, many Americans agree – drinking approximately 517 million cups daily.
For the millions of Americans who love a cup of coffee, today is National Coffee Day, when purveyors of jitter juice across the US give away free or discounted cups of joe as well as offering discounts on bags of coffee, subscription services, and much more.
Even better, many coffee shops keep their promos going until International Coffee Day on October 1, when the rest of the world celebrates the joys of a morning's espresso in Florance, a taste de café in Paris , or a froffi coffi in Caerdydd.
