National Coffee Day 2012 Freebies and Deals
Get your caffeine on and celebrate with a free cup of coffee from Menomonee Falls and nearby businesses.
If the first words out of your mouth every morning are, "I’ll have a large coffee" — or if you can’t even speak until after you’ve had your java fix — there's a national holiday created especially for you.
America will put staunch tea drinkers to shame Saturday on National Coffee Day, when coffee fiends can rejoice and celebrate their beloved coffee bean with free brew from national chains.
Coffee was first brought to America in the mid-1600s in a shipment en route to "New Amsterdam," now known as New York, according to the National Coffee Association. We have that shipment and the Boston Tea Party to thank for turning the nation into coffee drinkers.
