If you’re curious, keep reading, because we’re going through the 20 biggest coffee-drinking nations in the world!
These numbers are pounds of coffee per capita, so that means it’s what the average citizen drinks every year – which actually means it’s more, since that probably doesn’t include children (or weirdos who don’t like coffee).
