It may come as no surprise to learn that at least two-thirds of adults in the U.S. drink coffee daily, most often at breakfast. Some surveys suggest nearly three-quarters of U.S. adults have a "cup of joe" each day. What may be more of a surprise is that during most of the year, anyway-more adults drink coffee each day than any other beverage, according to surveys conducted on behalf of the National Coffee Association. The only exception is bottled water in the summertime. Americans drink an estimated 400 million cups of coffee per day. Globally, people drink more than 2 billion cups each day. That makes the U.S. the top coffee market in the world by volume (though not by per-capita consump- tion that honor goes to Finland). What Is Coffee Culture? For some, a cup of coffee is merely a means to an end: It's a tried-and-true way to either wake up or stay up. But for others, coffee is to be sipped and savored. Coffee brings people together, whether it's enjoyed in the kitchen at home, the breakroom at work or the coffee shop down the street. Meeting for coffee can be an on-the-fly get-together between friends. Or a relaxed sce- nario where people can get to know each other. Or an informal gathering among colleagues. Solo sippers might grab a spot at the local coffeehouse and spend an hour or two reading, working or people-watching. It gives them an opportunity to be among other people and the choice to connect (or not). It's these shared experiences that collectively form the basis of coffee culture.
