Facts and Figures, Australian Coffee Consumption

27.7.04

Ever wanted the facts and figures on Australia’s coffee culture? Well here are a few facts and figures that are bound to spice up your next coffee break chat.

Per Capita consumption of coffee is now at 2.4 kilos, a historical high in a nation that used to be a bastion of tea drinkers. The total coffee market is valued at A$1 billion including increasing levels of local production. In the retail sector (supermarkets etc), of $510m spent annually $425m is spent on instant with the remainder on roast and ground coffee.

In fact it’s believed we’re the highest consumers of instant coffee in the world with 90% of coffee drunk at home being instant. This is line with other countries with a strong history of tea drinking where roast and ground seems to have a reduced market share.
