Secretary Josephus “Joe” Daniels The most common explanation for why we call coffee “a cup of Joe” dates back to June 1, 1914. On this day, Secretary of the Unit-ed States Navy Josephus “Joe” Daniels imposed a general ban on serving any alcoholic beverages aboard United States Navy ships.
Since coffee is the common man’s drink, and “joe” is the common man’s name, coffee and joe became synonymous. Diner culture may also have had something to do with it, as more and more diners opened up in the 1950s and 1960s.
The Josephus Daniels story probably isn’t true. The term “cup of Joe” only appears in writing for the first time in 1930—long after the Navy’s ban on alcohol. Truthfully, the question “why is coffee called a cup of Joe?” has no clear answer.
It’s possible that people referred to Martinson coffee as a cup of joe, due to the fact that the owner was named Joe Martinson. The Martinson coffee company was one of the oldest coffee companies in the US, having been around since 1898. Why do they call coffee java?
