Average UK coffee drinker will drink 62,000 mugs in lifetime

A study commissioned by the coffee machine maker Breville polled 2,000 adults who consume the beverage and found they enjoy an average of three cups a day.

As many as 41% revealed they struggle to function properly until they’ve had their first caffeine kick and 7am was the most popular time for a brew.

Additionally, many are averse to trying something new with 43% of consumers admitting they've ordered the same coffee for 21 years.

“As anyone who loves a cup will tell you, it very quickly becomes an established part of our daily routines.

“But it’s interesting to see how many people aren’t sure whether they’re making the best out of their coffee at home.

“Perhaps this is why so many people prefer to leave it in the hands of the baristas more often than not."
