No Australia in that list at all??? Not sure how we sit, but boy do we hit coffee hard in this country

I was curious so went digging a little.

This page says 2.2M 60KG bags in 2023 which works out at just over 5KG per capita (2.2 x 60M / 26M). That would put Australia around Croatia level on that graph.

So something smells. Not sure if it's the dry weight part as roasted coffee is lighter than the unroasted beans that come in those huge bags but those beans are dried. Maybe that graph is just plain wrong.

Anyway.... It looks like you guys are fair coffee junkies alright.
