Hi guys
First post on TMC and great to be amongst such a dedicated and informative bunch of coffee heads.
I am looking into some research around the London coffee scene and wanted to know if anyone could point me in the right direction to sourcing some statistics about coffee drinking habits.
I dont expect this info will be easy to get ahold of (as it is knowledge I bet many of you will want to know and keep guard of) but there may be some reports, surveys that can provide some handy general info and possibly some companies specialising in offering this info for a price.
Info I am interested in specifically is:
Gross consumption of coffee in the UK / per capita (I have read 70 million cups per day are consumed UK wide! - But how does this breakdown?)
Gross consumption in London per capita/area etc
Age/Demographic breakdowns for these stats
More specific breakdown of buying habits if possible
Also if possible, looking at spending behaviour in specific suburbs e.g Clapham Common
May be it is easiest to get council/consensus statistics and work from broader averages to determine this kind of information?
I realise that specific research into coffee buying habits rarely comes for free, but there must be some info out there to get me started on.
Thanks guys!
