The math is silly, these numbers are made up. Says the average American drinks 28K cups and spends $120K in their lifetime. That’s 1.5 cups daily at $4/cup for 50 years.

#12Whenever I see outliers like Luxembourg in these stats, I wonder if there's something fishy with taxes and/or accounting going on there. Or may be just citizens of neighboring countries going shopping to Luxembourg for tax-related reasons?

#13This doesn't seem right, I've never heard about Luxembourgers drinking a lot of coffee.
They have tons of commuters and business travelers. Didn't look into the methodology, but my first guess would be that those are included in the numerator, but not in the denominator.

#15Asia is growing in coffee consumption, and this will be detrimental to forests around the equator.

#16> Due to the moderately strong correlation, performing RA on those metrics suggests that each additional kilogram of coffee consumed per person annually could potentially raise life expectancy by 1.22%.
What? Do you really think it's the coffee and not the relation between GDP per capita (and ergo better healthcare and overall life expectancy) and number of cups per coffee? This hilarious implied causation tells me I should drink 100 cups a day and live forever.

#17United Kingdom just doesn't drink coffee? I don't think so... according to this we manage 98M cups of coffee a day https://balancecoffee.co.uk/blogs/blog/coffee-consumption-st...

#18Other sources always seem to suggest that Finland comes top, for example: https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/coffee-co... All a bit random and unscientific to have these statistics, I guess.
The article seems a bit off. The first heading says
> Coffee Consumption by Country 2024
But then the subsequent heading is
> Top 10 Countries that Drink the Most Coffee Per Person (kg/lbs per year) (International Coffee Organization 2016)
So which is it, 2024 or 2016?
I will say the 2016 data does agree with my roughly decade-old recollection that Finns drink a lot of coffee.

#19This seems to assume everyone drinks every cup of coffee in a cafe every time?
Yeah. The per-cup prices seem to assume that. They might be somewhere in the right ballpark for that, although even for cafes, the price actually varies a lot depending on whether it's a speciality coffee.
Correspondingly, the total lifetime spending figures can't be even close to right in lots of the listed countries.

Luxembourg has a _lot_ of non-residents who commute there for work, and possibly drink coffee, which is inclined to mess up statistics like this.
