100 European Coffee Statistics for 2026

European coffee statistics describe several connected markets, not one uniform drinking culture. Compare the EU's trade and manufacturing footprint with national consumer research, harmonised price changes and shipments from Brazil.

Dutch and German findings retain their national scope. The price comparison covers every EU member state, while import and manufacturing statistics use their own product definitions. These distinctions make the evidence useful without turning a local survey into a claim about all Europeans.

Headline figures

  • The EU imported 2.9 million tonnes of coffee from outside the bloc in 2025. (Eurostat, Oct 2026)
  • EU extra-EU coffee imports were valued at €18.7 billion in 2025. (Eurostat, Oct 2026)
  • The EU manufactured over 2.2 million tonnes of roasted or decaffeinated coffee and coffee substitutes in 2025. (Eurostat, Oct 2026)
  • 78% of Dutch residents aged 16+ drank coffee at least weekly in the 2026 survey. (Koffie & Thee Nederland / Ruigrok, Oct 2026)
  • 62% of Dutch residents aged 16+ drank coffee daily in the 2026 survey. (Koffie & Thee Nederland / Ruigrok, Oct 2026)
  • Dutch coffee drinkers averaged 3.5 cups on a day they drank coffee in 2026. (Koffie & Thee Nederland / Ruigrok, Oct 2026)
  • Dutch coffee drinkers regularly or almost always using filter coffee machines: 36% (2026). (Koffie & Thee Nederland / Ruigrok, Oct 2026)
  • 39% of Dutch male coffee drinkers used filter coffee machines regularly or almost always in 2026. (Koffie & Thee Nederland / Ruigrok, Oct 2026)
  • Germany sold approximately 456,000 tonnes of roasted coffee in 2025. (German Coffee Association, Apr 2026)
  • German roasted-coffee sales revenue reached €8.98 billion in 2025. (German Coffee Association, Apr 2026)
  • Germany consumed 125,500 tonnes of coffee away from home in 2025. (German Coffee Association, Apr 2026)
  • Europe received 15,049,905 60-kg bags of Brazilian coffee in January–September 2026. (Cecafé, Oct 2026)

How large are the EU's coffee trade and manufacturing markets?

Imports and manufactured output describe separate stages of the supply chain. Neither can be treated as the amount Europeans drink.

Which import flows connect the EU with producing countries?

  • The EU imported 1,005,200 tonnes of coffee from Brazil in 2025. (Eurostat, Oct 2026)
  • The EU imported 587,500 tonnes of coffee from Vietnam in 2025. (Eurostat, Oct 2026)
  • Germany imported 1,010,500 tonnes of coffee from outside the EU in 2025. (Eurostat, Oct 2026)
  • Italy imported 608,000 tonnes of coffee from outside the EU in 2025. (Eurostat, Oct 2026)

Eurostat's extra-EU figures capture coffee arriving from outside the bloc. They do not include every movement between member states, and the country of entry need not be the place of final consumption. Brazil and Vietnam represent different origin flows; Germany and Italy represent importing destinations. Those dimensions overlap and should not be added together. The value measure is nominal, so a change in import spending can reflect prices as well as physical quantities. Preserve the calendar year when comparing these records with crop-season forecasts.

Where is coffee manufactured within the EU?

  • EU manufactured output of roasted or decaffeinated coffee and coffee substitutes was worth almost €19 billion in 2025. (Eurostat, Oct 2026)
  • Germany manufactured 561,200 tonnes of roasted or decaffeinated coffee and coffee substitutes in 2025. (Eurostat, Oct 2026)
  • Italy manufactured 514,200 tonnes of roasted or decaffeinated coffee and coffee substitutes in 2025. (Eurostat, Oct 2026)
  • Spain manufactured 211,900 tonnes of roasted or decaffeinated coffee and coffee substitutes in 2025. (Eurostat, Oct 2026)
  • France manufactured 146,800 tonnes of roasted or decaffeinated coffee and coffee substitutes in 2025. (Eurostat, Oct 2026)

Manufacturing here includes roasted or decaffeinated coffee and coffee substitutes. It does not mean that the beans were grown in the reporting country. The output comparison therefore describes processing activity, which can use imported inputs and serve buyers elsewhere. Manufactured value and physical output answer different questions about the industry. The national observations use the same published product scope and calendar year, allowing a consistent comparison without implying that every tonne represents an identical product.

How does coffee-price inflation differ across the EU?

A harmonised price index compares rates of change, not the cost of the same shopping basket in euros. The category includes coffee substitutes, and negative rates mean lower prices than the same month a year earlier.

What annual price changes did western and northern members report?

  • Belgium: annual coffee-and-substitutes HICP change of 1.2% in September 2026. (Eurostat, Nov 2026)
  • Bulgaria: annual coffee-and-substitutes HICP change of -0.1% in September 2026. (Eurostat, Nov 2026)
  • Czechia: annual coffee-and-substitutes HICP change of -8.0% in September 2026. (Eurostat, Nov 2026)
  • Denmark: annual coffee-and-substitutes HICP change of -4.4% in September 2026. (Eurostat, Nov 2026)
  • Germany: annual coffee-and-substitutes HICP change of -4.2% in September 2026. (Eurostat, Nov 2026)
  • Estonia: annual coffee-and-substitutes HICP change of -6.9% in September 2026. (Eurostat, Nov 2026)
  • Ireland: annual coffee-and-substitutes HICP change of 2.0% in September 2026. (Eurostat, Nov 2026)
  • Greece: annual coffee-and-substitutes HICP change of -3.0% in September 2026. (Eurostat, Nov 2026)
  • Spain: annual coffee-and-substitutes HICP change of -4.3% in September 2026. (Eurostat, Nov 2026)

These country rates use the same category, reference month and annual comparison. They cannot rank countries from cheapest to most expensive. A falling index can coexist with prices remaining above earlier years.

How did southern and central members compare?

  • France: annual coffee-and-substitutes HICP change of 1.1% in September 2026. (Eurostat, Nov 2026)
  • Croatia: annual coffee-and-substitutes HICP change of -0.3% in September 2026. (Eurostat, Nov 2026)
  • Italy: annual coffee-and-substitutes HICP change of 0.2% in September 2026. (Eurostat, Nov 2026)
  • Cyprus: annual coffee-and-substitutes HICP change of 5.1% in September 2026. (Eurostat, Nov 2026)
  • Latvia: annual coffee-and-substitutes HICP change of -7.3% in September 2026. (Eurostat, Nov 2026)
  • Lithuania: annual coffee-and-substitutes HICP change of -2.2% in September 2026. (Eurostat, Nov 2026)
  • Luxembourg: annual coffee-and-substitutes HICP change of 2.1% in September 2026. (Eurostat, Nov 2026)
  • Hungary: annual coffee-and-substitutes HICP change of -6.1% in September 2026. (Eurostat, Nov 2026)
  • Malta: annual coffee-and-substitutes HICP change of 3.2% in September 2026. (Eurostat, Nov 2026)

National rates differ even within a common statistical framework. The index reflects each country's covered consumer market, not a single coffee brand. These observations do not isolate exchange rates, taxes or retail margins as causes.

What did the remaining EU members report?

  • Netherlands: annual coffee-and-substitutes HICP change of -3.3% in September 2026. (Eurostat, Nov 2026)
  • Austria: annual coffee-and-substitutes HICP change of -1.3% in September 2026. (Eurostat, Nov 2026)
  • Poland: annual coffee-and-substitutes HICP change of 1.6% in September 2026. (Eurostat, Nov 2026)
  • Portugal: annual coffee-and-substitutes HICP change of -1.7% in September 2026. (Eurostat, Nov 2026)
  • Romania: annual coffee-and-substitutes HICP change of 13.8% in September 2026. (Eurostat, Nov 2026)
  • Slovenia: annual coffee-and-substitutes HICP change of -0.5% in September 2026. (Eurostat, Nov 2026)
  • Slovakia: annual coffee-and-substitutes HICP change of -3.1% in September 2026. (Eurostat, Nov 2026)
  • Finland: annual coffee-and-substitutes HICP change of 3.3% in September 2026. (Eurostat, Nov 2026)
  • Sweden: annual coffee-and-substitutes HICP change of -13.8% in September 2026. (Eurostat, Nov 2026)

The remaining countries complete the member-state comparison. Read each percentage as a change from the corresponding month a year earlier, instead of a monthly movement or the share of household spending devoted to coffee.

How frequently do people in the Netherlands drink coffee?

National surveys reveal habits that trade data cannot. The Dutch study distinguishes the screened resident population from the coffee-drinker sample used for more detailed questions.

How widespread is weekly coffee drinking across age and gender?

Weekly use varies across the Dutch population. These results refer to residents aged at least sixteen, including non-drinkers. Age groups differ from generational labels. The survey was weighted for its target population and should not be extrapolated to neighbouring countries. Differences describe reported behaviour instead of explaining why habits vary.

How does daily drinking vary across generations?

Daily use was more prevalent in older generations in this survey. Generation labels follow the report, while eligibility starts at sixteen. Gender comparisons use the screened population instead of only drinkers. These findings do not establish how an individual's habits will change with age: a cross-sectional comparison cannot separate age effects from birth-cohort differences.

How much do Dutch coffee drinkers consume on drinking days?

Cup averages apply to days when respondents drink coffee. They are not averages across every resident or every calendar day. The question excludes respondents who could not give an estimate, and a cup is the survey's reported unit instead of a fixed laboratory measure of caffeine. Gender differences therefore describe self-reported quantity within the coffee-drinking population. They should not be converted into a medical recommendation or used to infer the strength of the beverages consumed. The overall average and the subgroup averages answer related but distinct questions about drinking intensity.

How do Dutch consumers prepare and choose coffee?

Preparation methods and motivations can overlap. A person may use several brewers or give several reasons for drinking coffee, so these percentages are not slices of a single market-share pie.

Which preparation methods are used regularly?

Regular and almost-always use are combined. Respondents can use several methods, so these are overlapping behaviours, not machine-ownership shares. Categories distinguish several brewing methods.

What motivates coffee drinking and shapes preferences?

Motivations overlap because respondents could select several. Black-coffee use measures behaviour; intentions measure expectations. Neither establishes future purchasing decisions.

What counts to buyers who consider sustainability?

Certification and production conditions matter within the subgroup that already considers sustainability when buying coffee. These are not percentages of all Dutch adults or all coffee buyers. The restricted denominator is essential: generalising the results would overstate how common these priorities are in the broader market. Respondents could consider several attributes, and the survey does not verify the environmental or social performance of products they actually purchased. It also does not measure a willingness to pay a specific premium. The findings identify what this interested subgroup looks for, instead of certifying that any particular product meets those expectations.

What is changing in Germany's coffee market?

Sales value and physical consumption moved differently in the German review. Keep revenue, tonnage and beverage litres separate when explaining the market.

How did roasted-coffee sales and revenue compare?

The association reports a small decline in physical roasted-coffee sales alongside stronger nominal revenue. Revenue therefore cannot stand in for the quantity sold. The whole-bean segment provides another view of the market's composition, instead of an extra volume to add to all roasted coffee. These figures describe the German market in the stated calendar year and do not establish how much of a revenue change came from prices, product mix or individual consumer purchases.

How do formats, equipment and drinking locations differ?

  • German whole-bean coffee sales volume grew 130% over the decade to 2025. (German Coffee Association, Apr 2026)
  • German ground-coffee sales volume fell approximately 38% over the decade to 2025. (German Coffee Association, Apr 2026)
  • One in three German households had a fully automatic coffee machine, the association reported in April 2026. (German Coffee Association, Apr 2026)
  • One in ten cups of coffee in Germany used soluble coffee, the association reported in April 2026. (German Coffee Association, Apr 2026)
  • German annual coffee consumption averaged approximately 161 litres per person in the 2025 market review. (German Coffee Association, Apr 2026)

The review points to a longer-term shift in coffee formats and an important away-from-home market. Its decade comparisons should not be presented as annual growth rates. Equipment ownership describes households, while cup-based format observations and per-person litres use different units. Those measures can inform different commercial questions, but cannot be combined into a single consumption share. The association's current equipment and soluble-coffee observations are retained as reported, instead of assigned an unsupported fieldwork date.

How does Brazilian coffee supply European markets?

Exporter records complement European import statistics but use a different reporting window and measurement unit. They also distinguish the continent from the EU and other overlapping regional groupings.

How much Brazilian coffee reached European regions?

  • Brazilian coffee exports to Europe earned US$5,425.7 million in January–September 2026. (Cecafé, Oct 2026)
  • The EU received 13,090,474 60-kg bags of Brazilian coffee in January–September 2026. (Cecafé, Oct 2026)
  • Brazilian coffee exports to the EU earned US$4,751.4 million in January–September 2026. (Cecafé, Oct 2026)
  • Cecafé's Eastern Europe grouping received 1,259,001 60-kg bags of Brazilian coffee in January–September 2026. (Cecafé, Oct 2026)
  • Brazilian coffee export volume to Europe grew 4.0% year on year in January–September 2026. (Cecafé, Oct 2026)

Cecafé reports Europe, the EU and Eastern Europe as separate geographic groupings. They overlap, so their totals must not be added together. Export revenue is a nominal dollar measure, while volume is expressed in standard bags. The year-to-date comparison covers the same elapsed months in both years. It does not show a completed calendar-year result, nor does it measure coffee from other producing countries entering these markets.

Which countries received Brazilian coffee during September?

  • Germany received 482,236 60-kg bags of Brazilian coffee in September 2026. (Cecafé, Oct 2026)
  • Belgium received 344,225 60-kg bags of Brazilian coffee in September 2026. (Cecafé, Oct 2026)
  • Italy received 331,287 60-kg bags of Brazilian coffee in September 2026. (Cecafé, Oct 2026)
  • Spain received 119,382 60-kg bags of Brazilian coffee in September 2026. (Cecafé, Oct 2026)
  • Netherlands received 108,412 60-kg bags of Brazilian coffee in September 2026. (Cecafé, Oct 2026)

The monthly destination table identifies selected European buyers of Brazilian coffee. It measures recorded shipments to those countries, not final household consumption or the origin of every coffee product sold there. Some consignments can move onward through regional distribution networks. The reporting month is explicit because these values should not be compared directly with the year-to-date totals above. All destinations below come from the same monthly table and use the same bag definition, allowing a consistent comparison of this particular trade flow.

Where did differentiated Brazilian coffee go?

  • Germany received 548,961 60-kg bags of differentiated Brazilian coffee in January–September 2026. (Cecafé, Oct 2026)
  • Belgium received 531,215 60-kg bags of differentiated Brazilian coffee in January–September 2026. (Cecafé, Oct 2026)
  • Italy received 460,012 60-kg bags of differentiated Brazilian coffee in January–September 2026. (Cecafé, Oct 2026)
  • Netherlands received 285,897 60-kg bags of differentiated Brazilian coffee in January–September 2026. (Cecafé, Oct 2026)

Cecafé's differentiated classification includes quality or sustainability distinctions. It is broader than a pure specialty-coffee label and should retain the source's terminology. These destination quantities form part of the wider Brazilian export flow; they are not additional shipments to add to it. The figures identify where this classified coffee was sent during the elapsed year, without measuring the retail premium paid by consumers or the income ultimately received by producers. A destination ranking therefore describes trade routing for the category, not the relative sophistication of national coffee cultures.

Methodology and sources

Every figure on this page comes from the organisation that produced it: regulators, statistics offices, public bodies, research institutes, and companies reporting their own data or surveys. Each one links to the original report or dataset and carries its release date. Survey results keep their population and fieldwork period, and financial figures keep the measure the producer used. Figures from different producers are not added together or ranked against each other. The page is reviewed monthly and updated when a producer releases newer data.
