      Person who made this mixes absolute and per capita measurements. Probably in more than one category

      No Australia in that list at all??? Not sure how we sit, but boy do we hit coffee hard in this country

        I was curious so went digging a little.

        This page says 2.2M 60KG bags in 2023 which works out at just over 5KG per capita (2.2 x 60M / 26M). That would put Australia around Croatia level on that graph.

        So something smells. Not sure if it’s the dry weight part as roasted coffee is lighter than the unroasted beans that come in those huge bags but those beans are dried. Maybe that graph is just plain wrong.

        Anyway… It looks like you guys are fair coffee junkies alright.

      Well it might just be a mistake.

      Norway is second on that per capita list and USA is first in tonnage. I could see how USA first, Norway second could be bungled out of that. Perhaps after a glass of wine or two. Or three maybe.

      12KG of dried beans per capita is astounding. Those Scandinavians are giants among us.

        I drink about 11kg dried beans on average. Daily brew is 60g and I drink half, so 30g. 365*30 = 10950g, just under 11 kg. There are occasional days I’ll have an extra cup out and about.

        Vast majority of it is locally roasted.

      Even then it’s not true. Sweden and Finland regularly trade first place when it comes to coffee consumption per capita.

      So that the US sold be in first is just not true. And if I know for fact that’s not true. I have serious doubts about the rest of his claims

    Per capita it’s Finland that drinks the most coffee apparently in total numbers it’s USA, Brazil, Japan, Indonesia…

    Would be funny if it wasn’t complete bs. Except for the amazing time part. They’re fun folk.

      Based on their mystery novels and TV shows, everyone there is depressed and living in a stark, bleak landscape.

      I’m thinking they want to discourage tourism.
