If you love coffee or in dire need of a little perk, Tuesday is the day.

National Coffee Day is here and it's time to celebrate with a free pick-me-up. It's celebrated annually Sept. 29 in the U.S., while Oct. 1 is deemed International Coffee Day.

You need to guess again if you think Detroit is a big-coffee drinking city. We don't even make the top 50, according WalletHub's 2020 ranking of the 100 Best Coffee Cities and come in at No. 96.

It's no surprise that Seattle, the home of Starbucks, was No. 1. Ranking at the very bottom, No. 100 was Toledo, Ohio. We ranked last, No. 100 on the average amount spent on coffee and No. 97 of cities with the lowest percent of coffee makers.

A survey by the National Coffee Association found 62% of Americans drink coffee every day. Three cups a day is how much the average coffee drinker consumes. Nearly half of daily coffee drinkers who buy coffee at a quick-service restaurant, café, donut shop or convenience store, do so through a drive-through.

There's no small beans about the coffee industry. The Specialty Coffee Association of America puts its value at $48 billion annually in the U.S.
