October 1 is International Coffee Day. In that name, we drank another cup of our favorite hot beverage. Now it was Turkish, but very easily it could have been espresso, nes, cappuccino or filter coffee. We love them all, and judging by the number of people who sit in cafes in our country every day and consume this hot drink, we are not the only ones.
The same habit is present in most of the world, but still nowhere else in Europe. This is confirmed by the ranking list of countries in which coffee is most consumed (countries are ranked on this list by the number of kilograms of coffee consumed per capita).
According to research, most coffee is drunk in European countries, but not in those that first come to mind. Italy and France, for example, rank only thirteenth and eighteenth, although they are reportedly known for their coffee-drinking culture. Brazil, a country where as much as a third of the world's coffee is produced, occupies a not very high fifteenth place, while Serbia is not even among the top twenty.
Believe it or not, coffee is mostly drunk in the Nordic and Benelux countries. Finland ranks first on the list, followed by other countries in the region. See below what the complete list of 20 countries with the most coffee (per capita) looks like:
Finland - 12 (kg coffee per capita per year)
Norway - 9.9
Iceland - 9
Denmark - 8.7
The Netherlands - 8.4
