Pouring it out: The most popular coffees

The coffee market is worth a jaw-dropping $465.9 billion, so it’s no surprise that coffee is a big deal. There are chains and independent coffee shops popping up all over the world, helping to provide coffee lovers with a cup of their favourite brew, whilst out and about.

With such a large, ever-growing, popularity across the globe, Casumo conducted research to find out what the most popular coffee is all around the world – will your brew of choice be at the top?

We’ve also added the perfect way for you to make any of the coffees on the list at home, so you’re able to pour a coffee, loved in another part of the world, in your kitchen.

Without further ado, let’s look at the results:

Cappuccino

In at number one, with 60% of the world population favouriting it, the cappuccino is the most drank coffee amongst residents in countries such as the Bahamas, the United States of America, Sweden, Greenland, Brazil, India, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Singapore and many more.

Cappuccinos are made with a ratio of 1:1:1, with equal parts espresso, to milk, to foam.

How to pour it out at home: To your espresso, add the same amount of milk of your choice that’s been warmed, with the same amount of froth, with a frothing tool such as a mini electric whisk, or if available, a coffee machine steamer. Once frothy, pour on top. For extra decoration, garnish with a sprinkling of chocolate powder.

Black Coffee

The second most loved coffee type to be poured around the world is black coffee. This no-fuss coffee is simply coffee and water, with, on occasion, sugar or sweetener added.

This is the first choice in countries such as Mozambique, South Africa and Sierra Leone.

How to pour it out at home: Whether you brew your coffee with a French press, a drip, a pour-over or instant coffee, simply let your coffee speak for itself by adding just this to your cup, with no milk.

Espresso

10% of the world’s population prefers to taste their coffee in the strongest form, in a small mug. An espresso, whilst being the basis for all other coffees on this list, can be consumed straight.

Canada, Pakistan, Cyprus, Italy, Egypt, Iran and Ukraine, all prefer to get their caffeine fix with an espresso, over any other coffee form.

How to pour it out at home: If you don’t have a coffee machine at home that takes fresh beans or grounds, or the little pods, you can still make espressos with something such as a French press. You can buy espresso grounds from supermarkets, allowing you to brew a stronger coffee at home. Add a scoop of ground beans to your French press, add just a little more boiling water than you find in an espresso, and allow to brew. After a few minutes – we recommend five – plunge the filter down in the French press, pour and enjoy.
