According to The British Coffee Association, the UK consumes approximately 95 million cups of coffee per day.

Pre-pandemic, the UK coffee industry accounted for over 210,000 jobs, with 80% of the population stating that they visited a coffee shop at least once a week. As lockdown slowly begins to ease, enjoying a barista-made coffee is likely to be top of many people’s immediate agenda. But of course, it will be a very different type of cafe culture we get to experience over the next few months, as social distancing measures limit the number of customers coffee shops can host indoors, and mean many continue operating on a take-out only basis for the time being.
