We love a good
cuppa here at Hunters – whether it’s a cup of refreshing English tea or a
pick-me-up coffee, there’s nothing quite like a warming drink to get you
feeling like all is ok in the world.
And apparently
we’re not alone. We’re a nation addicted to caffeine!
Perhaps more surprisingly though, earlier this year a poll showed that 61 percent of us prefer drinking coffee to tea – does the Queen know??

New research has
now shown Brit consume 1,460 cups of coffee a year on average – which sounds a
lot, but is only really 4 cups a day. Although when you think that’s 93,440
cups in an adult lifetime, it does sound a little more of an addiction!
The research, from
syrup makers Monin, shows that the country’s favourite coffee is by far the
Latte, with 41 per cent choosing that, followed by a cappuccino at 38 per cent.
In fact, the top 10 went:
1. Latte
2. Cappuccino
3. Americano
4. Mocha
5. Espresso
6. Flat White
7. Iced Coffee
8. Frappe
9. Ground
10. Double Espresso

We spend an
average of £13 a week in coffee shops (2.3bn coffees a year are bought and
consumed outside of home). That equates to more than £50 a month, and you could
buy yourself an awful lot of quality coffee, milk and even some fancy
flavourings (if they float your boat) with that!
More than half of us now own our own coffee machine at home, and apparently we’re getting more adventurous with the different styles and flavours of coffee we’re willing to try. Still – come to my house and order a skinny, mocha, frappe, caramel, no foam cappuccino with an extra shot, and I think I might struggle.

When it comes to
added extras, 18 per cent of us like caramel syrup in our coffee, while 14 per
cent opt for vanilla and 10 per cent hazelnut.
In store, we stock
lots of flavoured coffees, some of the most popular being Hazelnut and Irish Cream. We’re partial to a bit of Grumpy
Mule and Taylors of Harrogate – with a variety of strengths and origins
available, you can even buy by weight here at Hunters – like a traditional
sweet shop!
