Monday, Sept. 29 is National Coffee Day. To celebrate, many coffee shops are giving away free coffee and have bargains on coffee drinks and specials on coffee and machines to make drinks at home.
Coffee prices may be rising, but the pick-me-up remains a daily ritual for two-thirds of Americans. With National Coffee Day brewing on Monday, Sept. 29, many coffee shops will be serving up freebies and specials for those who love coffee.
Coffee’s popularity remains secure with 66% of Americans saying they drink at least one cup daily, up nearly 7% from 2020, according to a survey from the National Coffee Association, released ahead of National Coffee Day. Most coffee drinkers consume more – about 2.8 cups daily – according to a survey of 1,862 U.S. adults conducted in June 2025 for the group by Dig Insights.
While grabbing coffee on the run remains high – 36% of coffee drinkers consume the beverage away from home – most (82%) had the beverage at home over the past day, the survey found.
“Coffee’s staying power as a beloved touchstone in Americans’ daily lives is remarkable, and its contributions to our health and our economy give Americans even more ‘grounds for celebration’ this National Coffee Day and every day,” said National Coffee Association president and CEO Bill Murray in the survey’s news release.
Still, coffee is getting pricier. In August, the average price of a pound of ground roast coffee cost $8.87, up 40% a year ago, when it cost $6.31, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. In part due to the weather, but also tariffs.
So a deal or a freebie would help the coffee budget. Here’s a good serving of specials for National Coffee Day, but remember to check the social media account of your favorite local coffee shop for more deals, too.
