"We know our guests are busy, especially during the morning, and a free cup of coffee goes a long way in helping get their days started," said Greg Watson, senior vice president, McDonald's US Menu Innovation. "That's why we want to treat customers once again so they can taste for themselves just how great their mornings can be with a cup of McCafé coffee and freshly made breakfast."

This is the second time the fast-food chain has launched a free coffee giveaway.

McDonald's is also asking people to "sip and tell" their embarrassing pre-coffee moments on social media with @McCafe using the hashtag #SipandTell.
