Miami named a top five city for coffee lovers

by Elizabeth Kanzeg Rowland

Calling all coffee aficionados! Miami is one of the best coffee cities, according to a new study from WalletHub.

According to the National Coffee Association, 66% of Americans drink coffee every day, consuming a total of 519 million cups daily — and many of those cups are sipped in Miami.

To determine the best coffee scenes in the nation, WalletHub compared the 100 largest U.S. cities across factors like coffee shops and cafes per capita, cost of coffee and number of coffee drinkers. The study drew data from the U.S. Census Bureau, Council for Community and Economic Research and other sources.

Miami placed in the top five, outranking Seattle (of Starbucks fame). Portland, Oregon, Orlando, Florida and Long Beach, California took the top three spots.

Miami stood out for its high cafe density. It scored 12th for coffee shops per capita. Plus, Miami ranked in the top three for spots with free Wi-FI. Households in the city spend around $151 annually on coffee.

So, what fuels this love of coffee in Miami and other top-ranking cities?

“Science, for one, has convinced us that caffeine possesses multiple health benefits besides mental stimulation,” said WalletHub analysts. “At the right dosages, caffeine may contribute to longevity. Perhaps just as important, though, is coffee’s social purpose. Today, coffee stations are a staple of the workplace, and tens of thousands of shops serve as meeting places for friends, dates and coworkers.”
