Until public-transit officials make our dream of commuting to work by rollycoaster a reality, we'll have to settle for the adrenaline rush of traditional pick-me-ups. Percolate perkiness with today's Groupon: $39 for a Bottomless-Mug-Club Card at Bruegger's Bagels in Overland Park, Kansas. The Bottomless Mug gets you bottomless mugs of coffee, chai, hot chocolate, tea, and soda for the rest of 2010 (you must redeem your Groupon by June 30). This Groupon is not valid for iced coffee coolers or Brueggachinos.

To create the ultimate hot bean juice, Bruegger's has teamed up with Green Mountain Coffee, which deftly wields the double-edged sword of rich, flavorful coffee and socially responsible fair-trade practices. Bruegger's coffee menu offers a slurpable rainbow of classic brews and unusual, globetrotting options ($1.59 for a small). Relish region-specific flavors and aromas from the misty hilltops of Tanzania, the lush farms of Mexico, or the turbulent moons of Endor. Membership in the Bottomless Mug Club also ensures free refills of steamy chai tea and hot chocolate (both $1.79 for a small), soft drinks ($1.59 for a small), and an assortment of hot teas ($1.39 for a small) for java-less jaunts. Although today's Groupon does not cover food, Bruegger's offers delectable deli eats to pair with your bottomless beverages, including kettle-boiled bagels, breakfast sandwiches, and lunch fare.

Over the years, Bruegger's commitment to quality eats and social responsibility has created a loyal following of Brueggernauts who have missed weddings, illegally crossed borders, and abandoned fantasy football leagues to enjoy Bruegger's freshly made coffee and beverage offerings. The friendly staff and cozy environment make picking up a morning pick-me-up easier than picking up a hammer to nail in the first nail of a backyard shed to house newborn loofahs.
