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

        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.

          I order about 1.5kg of beans per month here in the UK, mostly from farrers in Kendal, and it’s easy to drink that much, it’s only 2 or 3 cups a day.
