Coffee. Joe. Java. Brew. Whatever you choose to call it. Start your Sunday off on the right foot and celebrate with a cup.

To celebrate today to its fullest, I would recommend getting a cup of coffee at your favorite shop or maybe even brewing a cup of your favorite blend at home right now. Starbucks is even offering free tastes of their Ethiopian coffee today!

Most people agree that a cup of coffee is an important part of their day, but have you ever wondered just how much people love coffee? We have statistics and facts about coffee that you won't believe are real! Check them out:

  •  There are 100 million people in the United States that drink coffee daily.
