How to read these figures.
U.S. drinking figures come from the National Coffee Association’s National Coffee Data Trends reports. Those surveys describe consumer behavior among U.S. adults and coffee drinkers at the stated time, rather than all coffee sold or consumed over a full year.
World trade figures come from the International Coffee Organization’s 2024/25 Annual Review and use 60-kilogram bags, the reporting unit used in that publication. The two sources measure different things, so they should not be combined as though they describe one market total.
