Coffee remains an everyday ritual, and specialty choices keep gaining ground.
The latest National Coffee Association survey shows that coffee is part of the daily routine for most American adults, with the vast majority of recent consumption happening at home. That is meaningful for anyone choosing beans, pods, or a dependable everyday roast.
The USDA's 2025/26 outlook places that routine in a larger market context: the United States remains the world's biggest coffee consumer, while global supply is measured across a large and constantly changing crop.
