Bring/take

Hi, does either bring or take specify a location or direction, or is there a grammatical difference for their usage? Or basically are they interchangable? I didn't know if there was a general rule pertaining to bring and take. Thank you.

They are interchangeable in many cases, but each has its distinctive use. These examples may help. Please, BRING me a cup of coffee.
