Take a Break on National Coffee Day

Can you believe there are over 100 million coffee drinkers around the world? They consume more than 400 billion cups of joe every year! National Coffee Day celebrates the iconic role of coffee in our daily lives. From that first sip in the morning to that pick-me-up with an after-dinner treat, coffee is truly a beloved beverage throughout the nation and beyond.

Another fun coffee fact: nurses and physicians rank first and second, respectively, as the top two coffee drinking professions according to a survey done by CareerBuilder and Dunkin’ Donuts.
