American colonists originally protested the British government by dumping coffee into Boston Harbor, which rendered the water jittery but incredibly productive. Take a stand against oppressive fatigue with today's Groupon: for $15, you get $35 worth of gourmet coffee, teas, and gifts at Joe’s Coffee House, an online store devoted to the consumption and appreciation of breakfast-beverage staples. Joe's roasts and ships its coffee within 24 hours of when your order is placed, so the beans aren't just sitting around a warehouse waiting for you to click buy.

Let Joe’s be your perky pilot to foreign flavor. Try the Bolivia Colonial Carnavari, an organic blend of sweet cocoa tones derived from trees of the classic typica variety of Arabica and priced at $14.95 for a pound (whole bean or ground). Fill your travel mug with far-away finds from Hawaii, India, Jamaica, and El Salvador, fantastical faraway lands accessible only by aerocraft or imagination. Blends typically average $20 per pound, with exceptions for the more exquisite varieties. If a cup of java isn't what you need in the morning, Joe's also has a large tea selection to fit your fancy.

Joe's is superb for supplying a useful present for a bridal shower, baby shower, or offensive-player-of-the-week shower. Joe’s has an assortment of coffee and tea accessories, such as pots, presses, and grinders. Or use your Groupon toward one of its gift boxes, such as the Grind and Brew, which includes three pounds of coffee and a grinder ($59.95).

There is a $5 flat shipping fee (extra for expedited shipping) that is not included with this Groupon.
