When it comes to coffee consumption, Northern and Southern Europe are worlds apart. In the North, the Scandinavians drink large quantities of coffee, especially the Finns who clearly lead the ranking with a per capita coffee consumption of 11.26 kilograms. This is almost 2.5 kilo more than the runners-up, the Norwegians. However, in Northern Europe coffee consumption is declining.

South Europeans - including the French - drink almost half of the amount of coffee consumed by Scandinavians. In this part of Europe consumption increased slightly between 1994 and 2000, with Greece as the clear exception.
In Greece coffee consumption more than doubled between 1994 and 2000.
In Western Europe coffee consumption is going down. Most countries show consumption levels between six and seven kilo, except for the UK and Ireland where coffee consumption levels are lowest.
Outside Europe, the huge markets of the US and Japan do not promise anything spectacular concerning coffee consumption.
The relatively low levels of consumption remained more or less stable between 1994 and 2000.
