According to Reuters, 64% of Americans over 18 surveyed said that they had had a cup of coffee the previous day — a new high.
Clearly, Americans love coffee. But where can they find the best cup? WalletHub released a study breaking down the best cities across the nation for coffee-drinkers. The report took the 100 most populated cities in the US, and examined them for 14 different factors.
These factors include the average price per cappuccino, the number coffee shops per capita, the number of coffee shops per capita that offer free WiFi, average household spending on coffee, and Google search traffic for the term "coffee," to name a few.
