Coffee, known by various names such as joe, java, jitter juice, brew, rocket fuel, or simply mud, remains an unwavering companion for a significant portion of the population. According to the National Coffee Association, a staggering 63% of Americans indulge in coffee on a daily basis. This translates to an average of 1.7 cups per day for each person in the United States, or an impressive 2.8 cups per day for every coffee enthusiast. Remarkably, these numbers have held steady since the year 2020.
While the United States leads the world in coffee imports, estimated to be a staggering 20% of the global coffee volume for the years 2023-2024, it doesn't quite make the cut when it comes to per capita coffee consumption. In this regard, the U.S. falls far short, with a per capita consumption of 324 cups per year. Surprisingly, it ranks outside the top ten, trailing behind countries like Lebanon, which claims the number one spot with an astounding annual per capita coffee consumption of 1,516 cups, as reported by research firm Euromonitor International.
