From dragging us out of bed in the morning to helping us beat that afternoon slump, there are very few things we can achieve throughout the day without that morning coffee. Those imprisoned by the pricey vice can now rejoice as we celebrate our new favorite holiday on September 29 — National Coffee Day.

Last year, a host of our favorite stores used the day to promote fair trade brews and offer discounted or free java. Below, we've listed some of the best of these offers that we expect will return this year. Be sure to bookmark the page and check back as we update when we receive confirmation on these deals.

Best National Coffee Day Deals

  • Krispy Kreme: This favorite donut chain gave visitors a free small coffee and Original Glazed donut.
  • Dunkin' Donuts: Here, you could test your self control and skip the sweet treat but score a larger cup of joe as the store is offered a free medium cup of hot or iced Dark Roast coffee.
  • Whole Foods: It wasn't completely free, but you could nab a 12-oz. cup of coffee all month long for just 25 cents for energy while you shopped.
  • Coffee Culture Cafe: Early risers could nab a free small coffee between 6 am and 11 am local time.
  • La Mars Donuts: They offered yet another free 12-oz. coffee.

So no matter your choice of discounted brew, you'll have no excuse to snooze through your alarm, avoid that mounting paperwork, or fall asleep on the bus on National Coffee Day.

Dear Reader,

About a year ago, I happened upon this statement about the Monitor in the Harvard Business Review – under the charming heading of “do things that don’t interest you”:

“Many things that end up” being meaningful, writes social scientist Joseph Grenny, “have come from conference workshops, articles, or online videos that began as a chore and ended with an insight. My work in Kenya, for example, was heavily influenced by a Christian Science Monitor article I had forced myself to read 10 years earlier. Sometimes, we call things ‘boring’ simply because they lie outside the box we are currently in.”

If you were to come up with a punchline to a joke about the Monitor, that would probably be it. We’re seen as being global, fair, insightful, and perhaps a bit too earnest. We’re the bran muffin of journalism.

But you know what? We change lives. And I’m going to argue that we change lives precisely because we force open that too-small box that most human beings think they live in.

The Monitor is a peculiar little publication that’s hard for the world to figure out. We’re run by a church, but we’re not only for church members and we’re not about converting people. We’re known as being fair even as the world becomes as polarized as at any time since the newspaper’s founding in 1908.

We have a mission beyond circulation, we want to bridge divides. We’re about kicking down the door of thought everywhere and saying, “You are bigger and more capable than you realize. And we can prove it.”

If you’re looking for bran muffin journalism, you can subscribe to the Monitor for $15. You’ll get the Monitor Weekly magazine, the Monitor Daily email, and unlimited access to CSMonitor.com.
