National Coffee Day: Where to get a free cup of java Tuesday in the Lowcountry

Americans are a well-caffeinated bunch.

Not only is the United States the nation that consumes the most coffee, according to Henson Consulting, the industry brews a lot of profit nationally. In fact, a June Reuters report says U.S. coffee drinkers are expected to spend $12.8 billion on coffee this year. That's up from a record $11.9 billion in 2014.

But Tuesday, coffee consumers can put away their wallets, or at least keep them healthier. In celebration of National Coffee Day, both national and local retailers are offering deals.
