America really loves coffee.
The big picture: 67% of adults in the U.S. said they had drunk coffee in the past day, according to National Coffee Association survey data published this month.
The buzz: That's a more than 20-year high.
- Back in 2004, less than half of U.S. adults had coffee in the past day, per NCA polling.
Between the lines: Although drip coffee is the most popular way to prepare coffee, consumption of espresso-based beverages has been growing.
- Lattes are the most popular — 18% of American adults drank one in the past week — followed by espresso shots and cappuccinos, the NCA says.
