National Coffee Day is Wednesday, Sept. 29, across the United States and falls on a Wednesday in 2021. National Coffee Day gives java lovers in Deerfield another reason to visit one of their local coffee shops.

It points to the 1773 Boston Tea Party as a key moment in U.S. history for when the country, quite literally, dumped tea for coffee. When the people of the 13 colonies revolted against King George III's hefty tea tax, "tea was out, and coffee was in," the summary states. The United States' connection with coffee only became stronger in the years to follow. Brothers John and Charles Arbuckle started selling coffee to cowboys in the American West during the mid-1800s, and James Folger introduced the drink to gold miners in California before creating the J.A. Folger & Co. in 1872, according to NationalToday.com. Other brands still around today, such as Maxwell House and Hills Brothers, eventually entered the coffee market. And Starbucks "changed everything" when it formed in Seattle in 1971, according to the summary. The U.S. coffee shop market has now grown into a $45.4 billion industry, according to an account that cites the Allegra World Coffee Portal's 2019 Project Café USA report. A number of chain coffee shops are expected to offer deals for National Coffee Day, TheSpruceEats.com says. Among them, Krispy Kreme will offer a free coffee and doughnut on the day, Dunkin' Donuts a free medium hot or iced coffee with any purchase, and LaMar's Donuts a free small cup of coffee.
