In anticipation for International Coffee Day set for Monday, September 29, here are some cool findings of how Americans take their coffee as surveyed by PayPal.
A new study by Dunkin’ Donuts and Career Builder have found that professionals working in the food and beverage service consume the most coffee out of all other fields. The Roast Magazine article titled “Coffee Workers Drink More Coffee at Work, Study Shows” states that:
The fields found to most require coffee for enhanced productivity were: Food Preparation/Service Workers, Scientists, Sales Representatives, Marketing/Public Relations Professionals, Nurses (Nurse, Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant), Editors/Writers/Media Workers, Business Executives, Teachers/Instructors (K-12), Engineering Technicians/Support, and IT Managers/Network Administrators. Of all the coffee-drinking professionals interviewed, 63 percent of workers said they drink two cups or more per workday, while 28 percent reported drinking three cups or more per day.
Global warming in Latin America is more prevalent than ever , giving rise to fungus and it’s threatening coffee growing from Peru to Mexico. According to a recent article in Bloomberg Businessweeek, not only does this affect reduced production in coffee but also growth in consumption:
Growth in the consumption of packaged organic coffee in the U.S. has slowed, according to data from members of the Brattleboro, Vermont-based Organic Trade Association. U.S. sales rose 7 percent last year from 2012 to $349 million, down from 30 percent growth from 2011 to 2012, the association said. The growth rate will continue to decline this year due to the fungus and prices could increase as supplies diminish, it said. Other data show a more-than-fourfold rise in sales of U.S. organic single-serving coffee, the kind sold by Waterbury, Vermont-based Keurig Green Mountain Inc., to $3.58 billion in 2013 from $823 million in 2009, according to StudyLogic, a Cedarhurst, New York-based research company.
Your morning coffee may not just be as pure as you think. According to Business Insider:
Cream and sugar may not be the only additives in your morning cup of coffee. Tough growing conditions and rising demand are leading some coffee producers to mix in wheat, soybean, brown sugar, rye, barley, acai seeds, corn, twigs and even dirt.
The filler ingredients are natural and don’t pose any immediate health risks for most people. But these additives could be a serious problem for people with soy or wheat allergies, said Suzana Lucy Nixdorf, a researcher at Universidade Estadual de Londrina in Brazil.
Here’s more reason to love coffee and for those who want to lose weight. According to Health Magazine, a recent Spanish study, published in the International Journal of Sport Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism found that:
…trained athletes who took in caffeine pre-exercise burned about 15% more calories for three hours post-exercise, compared to those who ingested a placebo. The dose that triggered the effect was 4.5 mg of caffeine per kilogram of body weight. For 150-pound woman (68 kg), that’s roughly 300 mg of caffeine, the amount in about 12 ounces of brewed coffee, a quantity you may already be sipping each morning.
