Stereotypically it is thought that British people only drink tea but in fact we drink around 70 million cups of coffee each day. That is still a lot less than the 165 million cups of tea we drink daily. However, the tea consumption in the UK has dropped by about a fifth since 2010.
Almost 75% of Britons buy coffee when they are out and this is especially popular in the 16–34 category, where this figure is 81%.
