Surprising Facts: How Much Coffee We Drink in a Lifetime?
A recent study reveals that the average coffee drinker in the UK consumes approximately 62,000 mugs of coffee over their lifetime. The survey, which included 2,000 caffeine enthusiasts, found that individuals enjoy an average of three cups per day, with the first cup typically enjoyed at 7 a.m.
Notably, 41 percent of respondents reported difficulty managing daily tasks before their initial caffeine boost, while 43 percent admitted to consistently ordering the same coffee for as long as 21 years.
The study also provided intriguing insights into coffee preferences. The most popular choices were:
- Latte: 21 percent
- Cappuccino: 20 percent
- Americano: 18 percent
- Flat White: 15 percent
Interestingly, 74 percent of participants were not aware of the specific type of coffee bean in their preferred beverage. While 80 percent recognized Arabica beans, awareness of other varieties was significantly lower: only one-third were familiar with Robusta, nine percent knew about Liberica, and a mere eight percent recognized Excelsa.
Additionally, the survey, conducted by OnePoll, found that 51 percent of respondents were unclear about the difference between cold brew and iced coffee. The primary distinction is in the preparation process: cold brew is made by steeping coffee grounds in cold water for 12 hours, whereas iced coffee is simply regular coffee that has been cooled.
