WHAT IS A CUP OF JOE?

This term is commonly used in the US, but what are its origins?

Here`s how the story goes... In 1913 President Woodrow Wilson appointed Josephus "Joe" Daniels the Secretary of the Navy. His reforms of the Navy included the introduction of women into the service, and the abolishment of the officers` wine mess. From that time on, the strongest drink aboard Navy ships was coffee. Over the years, a cup of coffee became known as "a cup of Joe".
