#3Wow not me. Probably because my home coffee setup and beans are a lot better than my office.

Maybe people are drinking the same amount of coffee, but they had to stock up their homes in March-April and then haven't needed to refill since then.

#5i personally drink coffee less because i can simply take a 25 min power nap when i get my usual noon drowsiness after lunch. i also sleep longer because i dont need to commute as much and feel much more refreshed throughout the day

#6If I can’t stay at the coffee shop to work, there’s no point in going. I can make a cup at home and save $5

#7I drink a lot less good coffee at home. Not worth shelling out for 5lb of the good stuff when everything past the first pound will be stale and not very good by the time I get to it, and purchased in smaller (usually 8-12oz) bags high-quality, freshly-roasted beans are way too expensive to have more than occasionally. So those transcendently good cups where one can actually taste stuff other than "coffee flavor" or "three-day-old rained-on camp fire" happen a lot less often for me now. :-(
Upper-end-of-bad coffee beans from Costco (so, about the best they have there) are my go-to at home. Steeping the grounds slow & cold yields way less cigarette butt flavor/odor than doing pourovers with them, so I'm making a lot more cold brew than before. Good thing it's Summer.

This, absolutely. The 'Rona shutdown inspired me to buy an old commercial espresso machine (1964 FAEMA E.61) and build out a little home coffee shop in the garage, where I learned to pull shots.

That makes me wonder if the toilet paper industry is also seeing a short-term dip in sales because of all that hoarding earlier this year.

Different industries see regular ups and downs throughout the year anyway.
Summer, for example, is generally considered a slow season, because many people are travelling and spending time outside, less time shopping.
