Los Angeles, September 29, 2011 – Don Francisco’s Coffee, one of the leading coffee retail brands in Southern California and among the top 10 nationally, is celebrating coffee history and culture by encouraging friends, family and colleagues to celebrate National Coffee Day on September 29. This nationwide coffee celebration commemorates coffee’s iconic place in U.S. culture being a drink that many people can’t start their day without.
In a recent study conducted by Don Francisco’s Coffee on how, when, where and why average Americans find inspiration, most Americans find their inspiration in the morning by taking the time to relax and enjoy a cup of coffee. In fact, inspired Americans were significantly more likely to name coffee and coffee breaks as their inspiration catalysts.
LOS ANGELES –– Despite the current economic climate, and an often gloomy forecast for the immediate future, America continues to be a nation of inspired people. According to a recent survey conducted by Don Francisco’s Coffee –– whose “Inspiration Index” asked respondents to rate their level of inspiration on a scale of 0 (“not at all inspired”) to 100 (“extremely inspired”) –– Americans scored an average of 66, indicating they generally feel inspired. And, who among us is most inspired? Coffee drinkers, for one.
If your coffee break is the most inspired moment of your day, you’re not the only one. When Don Francisco Coffee, a retail coffee brand produced by F. Gavina & Sons of Los Angeles, commissioned a survey to measure the country’s Inspiration Index, the company found that most of the 1,000 people surveyed report that taking a coffee break is among their most inspiring moments. In fact, four out of 10 respondents say that they’ve been struck by an inspiration while on their coffee break.
In what is both fodder for a future article in The Onion and an actual survey, leading “coffee retail brand” Don Francisco asked some 1,000 Americans to quantify their level of inspiration on a scale of 0 (“not at all inspired”) to 100 (“extremely inspired), taking into account internal factors (optimism, spirituality, health) and external factors (state of the world, the economy, weather). Not surprisingly, coffee drinkers are among the “most inspired” on the coffee company’s “Inspiration Index.”
Other findings: while most coffee drinkers surveyed (thankfully) are not so addicted to caffeine as to trade their cup of coffee for their jobs, cars, or sex, four out of 10 surveyed would choose coffee over alcohol or a trip to see Harry Potter or any other movie. Overall, 40% of the total number of respondents are struck by some sort of inspiration during their daily coffee break.
LOS ANGELES, Calif. (July 13, 2011) — Despite the current economic climate, and an often gloomy forecast for the immediate future, America continues to be a nation of inspired people. According to a recent survey conducted by Don Francisco’s Coffee—whose “Inspiration Index” asked respondents to rate their level of inspiration on a scale of 0 (“not at all inspired”) to 100 (“extremely inspired”)—Americans scored an average of 66, indicating they generally feel inspired. And, who among us is most inspired? Coffee drinkers, for one.
The survey, which polled more than 1,000 Americans nationwide, found that those who scored high on the inspiration index cited taking a coffee break as one of their most inspiring activities. And, although 40% of those surveyed cited coffee breaks as an inspiring moment, relaxing alone (78%), walking or exercising (73%) and hanging out with family and friends (66%) topped that list – and even driving (56%) seems to provide inspiration for some.
