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.

@northsouthdenimguy Maybe part of it is the weather, extra nice with a cup of coffee on a chilly morning.
That said, I still drank a lot of coffee when I lived in Los Angeles.On my second cup right now, a large one at about 24 ounces. To my defence I just got back from an 8 am physiology lecture (and will soon head to the gym).
Hoping for the "Iron To The Bone" mug to come back in stock.

Cocotte, Paris, France, 2026.
At its best an ordinary cup of coffee is also a treat for the eyes.

I see why many of you enjoy bibs as a lounger
