We have a lot of fun at JumpinGoat’s new retail location, and we get to meet some pretty cool people.
Many times folks are amazed to learn interesting facts about coffee. I love to tell people about coffee, and I really like it when someone tells me something I did not already know about coffee.
• A coffee drinker averages 2-3 ounce cups of coffee a day or around a pound of coffee per week. JumpinGoat.com Coffee drinkers may average more because of the taste (tee-hee)
• Coffee is only grown near the equator, from the Tropic of Cancer to the Tropic of Capricorn, within a 1,000 mile limit. This fact is not 100% true because I am growing coffee in my building.
• 1,200 different chemical components are in coffee. More than half of these components make up the distinguished flavor of coffee, but who’s counting?
• There is between 80 and 140 milligrams of caffeine in a seven once cup of coffee. How many milligrams in 1,000,000 cups? That sounds like my a high school math problem.
• 400 billion cups of coffee are consumed worldwide, making it the most popular beverage. Actually, water is the most popular, but coffee is second.
• 91% of coffee consumed is taken at breakfast. Sometimes it is breakfast.
• 79% of coffee consumed is served from the homes of coffee drinkers. Do you know how much coffee it takes to fill up a home? That’s why it may be easier to serve it from a coffee pot.
• The second place where coffee is most consumed is in the workplace. That was untill I got laid off…now I consume it on a boat, on a train, on a house, with a mouse.
