Americans are coffee aficionados. According to a January 2024 survey conducted by the market research company Drive Research, a whopping 73% of us enjoy coffee on a daily basis, and 36% guzzle three to five cups each day. The caffeinated drink only seems to be getting more popular, as the National Coffee Association reported in April that daily coffee consumption was up 37% since 2004.

Each year, coffee lovers across the United States honor the massively popular beverage with its very own holiday on Sept. 29. To help customers celebrate the occasion this year, restaurant and coffee chains alike have an exciting slate of promotions lined up for customers.
