National Coffee Day: Get free coffee and deals at these chains, local shops
Whether you call it joe, java, jitter juice, brew, rocket fuel or mud, coffee is a constant companion for many of us.
About two-thirds of Americans (63%) drink coffee daily, according to the National Coffee Association. That equates to about 1.7 cups daily for everyone in the U.S., or 2.8 cups daily per coffee drinker, amounts which have remained steady since 2020, the group says.
Many places pouring, brewing and steaming coffee and coffee drinks have deals and specials for National Coffee Day on Friday, Sept. 29, and over the subsequent days, including International Coffee Day on Sunday, Oct. 1.
Here's a look at local spots and national chains with deals.
