According to YouGov research, home consumption dominates, but retail remains a key channel, plus, coffee preferences sharpen by age and format
Among British adults, 41% drink tea and 40% drink coffee at home or at work at least twice a day. When including those who drink tea once a day or several times a week, the majority of Britons still reach for a cup of coffee regularly.

nstant coffee remains the most commonly consumed type among daily
coffee drinkers (55%), but it’s least popular among Gen Z (40%) and most popular with Baby Boomers (59%). Gen Z and Millennials instead favour more contemporary options: 54% of Gen Z drink caffè lattes and 40% enjoy iced lattes, versus only 30% and 7% of Boomers, respectively. Flavoured coffees, mochas, frappuccinos, and
cold brews are also disproportionately consumed by Gen Z. For example, 29% of Gen Z daily coffee drinkers enjoy mochas, compared to just 5% of Boomers. Similarly, 13% of Gen Z opt for cold brew, while it’s nearly absent among older adults. These preferences indicate potential for innovation in RTD (Ready-to-Drink) coffee, specialty blends, and seasonal flavours targeting younger buyers. Source; YouGov UK: Data Analytics & Market

are the quick and easy, convenient single cup option. Whilst extremely convenient, the Pods can prove very expense. Environmentally, the customer should be advised never to discard Pods in any recycling bin unless specified by new guidelines by various local authorities. Some brands provide free recycling via prepaid Royal Mail bags. Recycling Centres and some supermarkets also have relevant bins for disposal. Bean-to-Cup Machines offer a premium
experience with little effort. They grind the beans, brew the coffee and most, froth the milk. Though requiring regular cleaning, the versatility of using freshly ground coffee offers optimum flavours. Pairing your customer to the most ideal coffee machine may simply be the way it looks.
