Coffee Consumption

You hear the slogan everyday, "America Runs on Dunkin" but how much coffee do Americans really drink?



According to the National Coffee Association on average each American drinks 3.1 cups of coffee a day. That doesn't seem like much until you really analyze this fact. Considering not all Americans drink coffee this means that for every one person that doesn't drink coffee 3.1 people are picking up an extra cup. Thats a lot of coffee, but not as much as other countries. It is said that per capita the United States consumed about 3.0 KG of coffee in 2006, very reasonable compared to Finland and Norway who both came in at over 10Kg per capita, WOAH!

  1. yea its crazy to think about how much coffee that we drink as a society on the whole. i myself drink maybe one cup a day, like 2 or 3 times a week if im lucky. so to think that on average every person drinks over 3 cups per day, its pretty crazy.
