National Coffee Day deals at Dunkin’, Krispy Kreme and more

Coffee is a go-to drink for most Americans, with more than six out of 10 downing a cup daily. Folks can celebrate the beverage on National Coffee Day, which is Sunday, Sept. 29, with many coffee spots having specials and freebies.

Coffee consumption hit a two-decade high earlier this year, with about 67% of U.S. adults having at least one cup daily, according to a January survey from the National Coffee Association. That dipped slightly to 63% in a subsequent July 2024 NCA survey, also conducted for the trade association by Dig Insights.

Coffee lovers are increasingly getting their java jolt away from home, too. More than one-third of the respondents who said they had coffee in the past day (36%) got their caffeine fix away from home, the highest level since the COVID-19 pandemic.
