We Europeans are among the most avid coffee drinkers in the world, with several countries ranking at the very top globally. If we’ve ever shared an office, you’ll know I’m definitely doing my part to keep the pot empty.

Interestingly, Switzerland doesn’t top the list for per capita consumption. That honor belongs to the Nordic countries, with Finland leading the way at an impressive 10.76 kg of coffee per person each year.

Luxembourg stands out statistically at 18.98 kg per capita, largely due to its large cross-border workforce, but the Nordics remain the most consistent heavy drinkers overall.

In total import volumes, however, the largest European players are:

• Germany: 449,000 tonnes annually (5.31 kg per capita)
• Italy: 363,000 tonnes annually (6.11 kg per capita)
• France: 346,000 tonnes annually (5.21 kg per capita)

With all this coffee talk, I think it’s time for another cup ☕
