Here’s where your morning coffee came from

The United States drinks more coffee than any other country, but not much of it comes from domestically grown beans. The US maintains its caffeine buzz through a steadily imported supply. Here’s the data on consumption and suppliers.

  • From October 2022 to September 2023, Americans drank more than one cup of coffee per person daily, or about 450 million cups of coffee every day.

  • America imports much of its coffee from Colombia (exporting $1.38 billion in coffee to the US in 2023) and Brazil ($1.35 billion). Switzerland was the third biggest source, exporting $1.12 billion. However, Switzerland’s coffee exports aren’t beans — it’s roasted and ground coffee.

  • All of the nation’s coffee farming happens in Hawaii. The state’s production dropped 19% between the 2021–22 and 2022–23 harvest seasons from 14.2 million pounds to 11.5 million. The Agriculture Department projects it will decrease another 26% during the 2023–24 season.

  • Hawaiian coffee was valued at $54.1 million for the 2022–23 harvest season at $2.35 per pound.
