For many Americans, coffee is a staple beverage, with over 60% enjoying a cup each day. This National Coffee Day on Sunday, September 29, coffee enthusiasts can take advantage of various specials and free coffee at different locations.

This year, coffee consumption reached its highest point in two decades, with around 67% of American adults drinking at least one cup daily, according to a survey from the National Coffee Association conducted in January. However, this number decreased slightly to 63% in a follow-up survey in July 2024.

Additionally, many coffee lovers prefer to enjoy their brews outside the home. Recent data shows that over one-third of individuals who had coffee in the last day (36%) purchased it from cafes, marking the highest figure since the COVID-19 pandemic.

Interesting Facts About Coffee

• Average Consumption: Each individual drinks approximately 2½ cups of coffee per day, according to the NCA survey.
• Popular Brands: Starbucks is slightly more favored than Dunkin’, with 48% of people in the Drive Research survey choosing Starbucks versus 45% for Dunkin’. Other common favorites include Folgers (29%), McDonald’s McCafé (18%), and Green Mountain (18%).
• How We Enjoy Our Coffee: Popular preferences include coffee with milk or creamer (39%); coffee with milk or cream and sweeteners (38%); black coffee (18%); and just with sweeteners (5%).
• Coffee and Health: Drinking coffee may have health benefits—research indicates that consuming two to three cups per day could potentially increase longevity and lower the chances of heart disease and strokes. However, it’s advisable to limit consumption to no more than four cups daily, as suggested by health experts.

Coffee plays a significant role in the daily routines of Americans, stated William “Bill” Murray, president and CEO of the National Coffee Association. “It represents comforting customs, provides fun chances to explore new trends, and there’s growing awareness of substantial scientific evidence linking coffee consumption to positive health outcomes.”
