What is the most common type of coffee consumed in the United States?

The most common type of coffee consumed in the United States is drip coffee, also known as filtered coffee. Drip coffee is made by pouring hot water over ground coffee beans contained in a paper or metal filter, and the resulting brewed coffee drips into a carafe or pot below. This method is popular in the U.S. due to its ease and convenience, and is often made with a medium roast coffee bean.

Other popular coffee drinks in the U.S. include espresso-based drinks like lattes, cappuccinos, and americanos, as well as iced coffee and cold brew. However, drip coffee remains the most widely consumed type of coffee in the country.

According to a 2020 survey by the National Coffee Association, 62% of Americans reported drinking coffee every day, with the average coffee drinker consuming 3.1 cups per day. The survey also found that 79% of coffee consumed at home was drip coffee, while 36% of coffee consumed outside of the home was from a specialty coffee shop.
