National Coffee Day is Sunday, Sept. 29, and we're expresso-ly excited for it!

To help coffee lovers celebrate the special day, coffee shops, fast-food establishments, convenience stores and other places known for coffee are perking up with freebies, discounts or deals.

The Fall 2024 National Coffee Data Trends (NCDT) analysis found out-of-home coffee consumption reached its highest peak since January 2020. However, 81% of past-day coffee drinkers have coffee at home, while 36% get coffee outside of their home. There is overlap for those who drink coffee both inside and outside their homes.

Most Americans (51%) believe coffee is good for their health; the analysis also revealed that 66% think coffee improves mental focus, while 46% believe it improves physical endurance. Nearly half (48%) reported hearing about the health benefits of drinking coffee in the past year.

With this data, it may not come as a surprise that American adults drink over 400 million cups of coffee per day, according to the National Coffee Association. The 2024 trends report shows the average coffee-drinking American has 2.5 cups of coffee per day.

Here are some other key findings by the National Coffee Association:

• While 61% of Americans choose traditional coffee, 56% turn to specialty coffees like lattes, espressos and cappuccinos.
• 24% of past-day coffee cups were served cold, up 60% from winter 2023.
• It's no surprise that 84% of Americans have coffee with breakfast. A huge 76% say coffee wakes them up and gets them going.

When is National Coffee Day 2024?

The special day is on Sept. 29 every year, and in 2024 it happens to fall on a Sunday. And if you're not one to caffeinate over weekends, no worries — International Coffee Day is Tuesday, Oct. 1.

Next year, another coffee celebration is coming to Texas: The 2025 National Coffee Association Convention will be in Houston on March 6-8.
