Coffee is the most popular beverage in the world. The world consumes
over 2.25 billion cups of coffee a day, and it has become one of the
world’s most important commodities. Brazil is one of the largest
producers of green coffee, with over five million Brazilians working in
the coffee-related industry. Coffee is so critical to many economies in
the world that is also publicly traded in the market. More than half of
the Western-world drinks coffee on a daily basis. For many local
restaurants and convenience stores, coffee represents over 80% of their
hot beverage sales.
Often, coffee shop owners will own multiple stores as a means to grow
their wealth. Many coffee shop owners insist that service and
convenience are key drivers in increasing coffee sales. Owners will use
take-out counters and drive-throughs to drive sales and reduce the need for
tables and chairs.
Coffee’s future is not dark at the very least, but rather bright and
full of promise as competitors chomp at each other for a slice of the
market share. Here is a list of the best coffee chains spread all over the world.
