Today is the 2010 version of National Coffee Day in the United States. Millions of people in the U.S. drink coffee on a daily basis, and over 1 billion cups of coffee are are drunk every day. Almost 40% of American workers drink coffee at work daily.

The majority of coffee produced worldwide comes from South America, with Brazil providing more than twice as much coffee than any other country in the world. When someone thinks of coffee, the first place that comes to mind that produces the dark brown little bean is Colombia. Surprisingly, Vietnam produces more coffee beans than Colombia, and Brazil produces almost three times as much.

To celebrate National Coffee Day, many coffee shops like Dunkin’ Donuts, Starbucks, and 7-Eleven are offering free or discounted cups of coffee. Just visit your local coffee shop and ask if they have any specials in honor of the holiday.

Celebrate the holiday with your favorite cup of Joe.
