How Many Cups Of Coffee Do We Consume

I can say that I can consume somewhere between 3 to 6 cups of coffee a day. But that’s just me. It was this thought that got me thinking, just how much coffee does the world consume? I’m guessing these data I gathered online isn’t as accurate anymore, but I doubt that it’s far from the current data. Well, anyway, here are some of the facts I got.

  • Coffee remains to be the most popular drink all over the world. Approximately 400 billion cups of coffee are consumed each year.
  • Espresso consumption in the United Kingdom is mostly concentrated in the South East side of the country.
  • Men actually drink more coffee than women.
  • People prefer their coffee sweetened than plain black. 63% of coffee drinkers add sugar to their coffee as opposed to 37% who take it straight.
  • Roughly 50% of American adults start their day off with a cup of coffee.
  • Together, 100 million Americans consume about 350 million cups of coffee a day.
  • The United States appears to be the world’s largest coffee-consuming country in the world. They import about 16 to 20 million coffee bags per year, approximating to about 2.5 million pounds of coffee. That’s a third of all coffee exported all over the world.
  • The average American coffee drinker takes around 3.4 cups of coffee per day.

Wow, that’s a lot of coffee, if you ask me. But I want to know if you have any more coffee consumption trivia that you can share. I’d definitely appreciate it.

  • Thanks for the fascinating facts! I have a line of pottery decorated with hand drawn cartoons and half of the pots out of my kiln are coffee mugs. I put a link to this article in my latest blog post: http://wallypots.com/?p=586

    I always wondered about this kind of thing. It's so crazy how much people spend on coffee! It's just so good! I also read somewhere that there are various types of coffee beans and they actually are a type of berry. Each "berry" holds two beans (or pips) inside of it. The Nicaraguan Margogpipe is the largest of all coffee "berries".. :)
