Coffee and Finland

Finnish people are among the world's biggest coffee drinkers. In 2020, the average Finn consumed 9.9 kilograms of coffee per capita, more than any other country. Coffee is a central part of Finnish culture and lifestyle. Finns drink coffee from breakfast to dinner, and it is often a way to gather with friends and family. Coffee is also served in many workplaces and public spaces.
The Finnish love of coffee dates back to the 18th century, when coffee arrived in Finland from Sweden. Coffee was then a luxury product that only the wealthy could afford. However, in the 19th century, the price of coffee began to fall, and it became more accessible to ordinary Finns. In the 20th century, coffee became a real national drink.
Finns usually drink coffee black, but milk and sugar are also used. The most popular coffee drinks are coffee, milk coffee, sugared coffee, and latte. Finns also drink coffee as specialty coffee, such as cappuccinos and lattes.
Drinking coffee is a way for Finns to relax and enjoy life. It is also a way to meet friends and family. Coffee is an important part of everyday routine for many Finns.
