Though coffee drinkers may be cutting back on the expensive drinks, they still are consuming as much as they did last year — an average 3.3 cups a day per person, according to a June study by the National Coffee Association of U.S.A.
The study of the $39.5 billion industry also found that number of 18- to 24-year-olds drinking coffee daily dropped to 26 percent from 37 percent in 2007. The New York-based group conducted the study in the spring as gasoline prices were on the rise and many young consumers had to make budget cuts, Alan Kaiser, director of external relations and communications for the association, said.
