Friends of Juan is a web site devoted to Columbian coffee (and seems to be endorsed by the Food Network’s Alton Brown); I was led to the site by someone who read my article Coffee Grounds. There is an entertaining survey at Friends of Juan, describing what most Americans discuss over coffee and other preferences:

Coffee drinking

Men prefer to talk politics with their friends, while women prefer to talk about family or friends over a cup of coffee.

 

Almost six out of 10 men have a special coffee mug they like to use.

 

Doughnuts are still the best accompaniment to a good cup of coffee, with a quarter of survey respondents opting for the deep-fried delicacy.

 

Half of men and a third of women claim to know what country of origin their coffee comes from.

 

Taste is the number one influencer of coffee choice with 65% of respondents choosing it.

 

Nearly half the people in the country take their coffee with sugar and cream, but in the northeast, that number jumps to 63%.
