Finland follows with 83,939 cups over a lifetime, spending approximately $335,756, while Norway ranks third with 58,159 cups and $255,900 spent. Denmark has the highest coffee price globally at $5.40 per cup, contributing to its significant lifetime expenditure of $241,250. The United States, despite being a major coffee-consuming nation, ranks 24th, with an average of 25,827 cups and a lifetime cost of $121,131.
The analysis highlights a trend where European countries dominate the top ranks for both consumption and spending, suggesting a cultural preference for coffee. In contrast, countries like Ethiopia and Colombia, known for coffee production, have lower prices, reflecting their economic conditions. The data also reveals that coffee prices vary significantly worldwide, influenced by local economies and global trade dynamics. For instance, while coffee is relatively expensive in developed nations, it remains affordable in developing countries, although this does not always correlate with income levels. Overall, the statistics illustrate the diverse coffee consumption habits and economic implications across different countries, emphasizing coffee's role as a global commodity.

All a bit random and unscientific to have these statistics, I guess.

My surprise is Turkiye (Turkey), I would have expected it would also be in the top 10.
But what is defined as a cup ? What a cup would be considered in the US ? I would think what people they drink in Turkiye would be considered 2 or 3 cups of US Coffee. Doesn't it have a much higher Caffeine than in US Coffee ?
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.
> Interestingly, the list also includes non-traditional coffee-consuming countries such as Lebanon and Brazil, which could be attributed to the global spread of coffee-related business and culture
Really? Both Brazil and Lebanon are traditional coffee consuming countries. Brazil in particular is the largest producer of coffee in the world and coffee is everywhere, since pretty much forever.
> 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%.
I would imagine this to be a "correlation is not causation" situation. Countries with high coffee consumption per capita are generally developed countries.
