1 – Finland: 26.45 Lbs Per Capita 12 kg/26 lbs — Finland is the world’s biggest consumer of coffee on a per-person basis. The average Finn drinks nearly four cups a day. Coffee is so popular in Finland that two 10-minute coffee breaks are legally mandated for Finnish workers.

If you’ve ever met a Finn, you know that the national average of 26.45 lbs (12 kg) per capita is probably on the low end for most in Finland. If you were to take children out of the calculation, the national average would rise even higher! 

Coffee is typically consumed all day, every day, and coffee breaks are required by most workers’ unions. Special occasions and post-church luncheons are celebrated with a coffee table: a buffet of cold sandwiches, slices of bread, cookies and cakes, and of course, endless “khavi.”

The most popular coffees in Finland are very light roasts, much lighter than anywhere else in the world. The traditional Finnish way of brewing coffee is a variation on Turkish coffee where water and coffee grounds are brought just barely to a boil repeatedly. 

Finnish coffee culture may stem from varying influences such as Lutheran work ethic, Swedish rule, and several prohibitions on coffee, but one thing is for sure: coffee isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. If you are ever invited to a Finnish home prepare to be met with hot pots of coffee—just don’t ask for decaf, it’s virtually non-existent in this Nordic country.
