Coffee has been a go-to drink for humans since 850 AD. While the origin of coffee drinking is uncertain and is surrounded by numerous legends, we do know that coffee became popular in the U.S. after the Boston Tea Party of 1773. Americans swiftly switched to drinking coffee because drinking tea had become unpatriotic.
Even Thomas Jefferson famously said "Coffee, the favorite drink of the civilized world."
In 2021, it's reported that 62% of Americans drink coffee every day and the average coffee drinker consumes 3 cups daily.
But are there certain places where coffee culture is stronger? A new study by WalletHub determined the best coffee cities in America and several Colorado cities made it to the list.
Barely missing the top 10, Denver ranked No. 13. Colorado Springs was also featured on the list coming in at No. 42.
According to WalletHub, these are the top 10 best cities for coffee lovers:
- Portland, OR
- San Francisco, CA
- Seattle, WA
- Orlando, FL
- Pittsburgh, PA
- Honolulu, HI
- Tampa, FL
- Miami, FL
- San Diego, CA
- Boston, MA
To determine which cities are coffee lovers' dreams, WalletHub compared the 100 largest cities across 12 key indicators of "coffee lover-friendliness" like the number of coffee shops, coffee houses, and cafés per capita and the average price per pack of coffee.
