I think of it as World War II-era military slang. I've only heard it used in old movies.
Wait... Dunkin' Donuts calls its big containers of coffee a "Box O' Joe."

A "cup of Joe" is slang for a cup of coffee.
In my experience this expression isn't very common with young people (under 30), but it's still pretty common. For instance, you'll sometimes see it in commercials or sitcoms.
