That's very interesting, @aksu, I did not know that.
The Top 5 Per Capita (2025/2026 data):
Finland (12.0 kg/year) Norway (9.9 kg/year) Iceland (9.0 kg/year) Denmark (8.7 kg/year) Netherlands (8.4 kg/year)Here's some fun facts too.
Top 5 Most Expensive Cities (Average Cup)
These figures represent the average price for a standard cappuccino or latte in early 2026.
Zurich, Switzerland – $6.85 Consistently the most expensive due to some of the highest labor wages and commercial rents in the world. Copenhagen, Denmark – $6.75 High environmental taxes and a national preference for high-end specialty beans drive this price. Manama, Bahrain – $6.45 High import costs and a booming luxury cafe culture make this the priciest spot in the Middle East. New York City, USA – $6.35 Prices surged in late 2025 following "C-Market" bean shortages and rising logistics costs. Dubai, UAE – $6.20 Known for "ultra-premium" experiences, including cafes that offer gold-infused or rare microlot brews. -
That is pretty impressive for the Finns.
I would hate to track what I actually drink. At home alone my wife and I easily go through four 12 to 16 ounce bags per month in the machine, and then I drink coffee outside the house two to three times a day.
Every weekday morning I start with a double espresso, then add two short double coffees on top in my Yeti, with a little almond or other non dairy creamer.

@Ross and that makes me think of this!

As a Norwegian with a Finnish great grandfather I refuse to add up the yearly total
For any coffee lovers visiting Oslo I very much recommend Tim Wendelboe. That's the gold standard in my opinion. Try both the filter (aeropress) and the espresso while you're there.
(Java is another excellent spot). -

when I look at my family tree, DNA etc. it makes sense why I like coffee so much… but i’ll be honest with you I didn’t realize Nordic countries drank so much coffee.
