- Every day, the world’s population consumes about two billion cups of coffee. It’s more popular in some places than in others. The average American drinks as many as three cups a day. People drink even more in some European countries, such as Finland and Luxembourg. Ethiopia has a coffee culture, but in other African coffee-growing nations, relatively few drink it. Brazilians drink twice as much per capita as Colombians, but most of Latin America barely touches the stuff, opting instead for less expensive bottled soft drinks. In Asia and Australia, people tend to prefer tea. Coffee is beloved as an energy booster and a mood enhancer. It’s also a social and cultural ritual, and, above all, a habit. Many coffee drinkers are quite particular about what’s in their cup, whether it’s a flat white or a venti iced caramel macchiato.

> In Australia, people tend to prefer tea. No, they do not. In Melbourne, a comment like that is liable to get you glassed. Edit: Interesting article, though. Thanks for sharing.
