Although coffee may cause the "jitters", it isn't usually known by that name.

6. In America, "coffee black" generally means which of the following?

Answer: Neither milk nor cream, and no sugar

According to Wikipedia, coffee black is without milk or cream. When I grew up, "coffee black" meant nothing in it, no sugar, cream or milk, and that seems to be the standard.
7. What event caused Americans to start drinking coffee instead of tea?

Answer: Boston Tea Party

The Boston Tea Party was the American response to the British tax on tea. A bunch of men, dressed up like Indians dumped crates of tea into Boston Harbor to protest the tax. It became patriotic to drink coffee after that.
8. Fill in the blank to this commercial jingle; "The best part of waking up is __________ in your cup."

Answer: Folger's

Folger's was started in 1850 in San Francisco. Three brothers came to mine gold. The youngest was unable to accompany his brothers due to lack of money and stayed in town, working. He partnered with another man and they thought that grinding the coffee beans after roasting would make the coffee more convenient.

When the brother had enough money, he went to his brothers, carrying the ground coffee in cans.
9. In New Orleans, what is commonly added to coffee to make it last longer?

Answer: Chicory

Louisiana was originally a French Colony. During the French Civil War, coffee was scarce, so chicory was added, to stretch the coffee and to decrease the bitterness. Cafe du Monde in New Orleans is known for its various coffee blends with chicory.
10. Cafe au Lait is what in English?

Answer: Coffee with milk

Cafe au Lait is usually half coffee and half steamed milk. It's known as Cafe con Leche in Spanish.
