While the outbreak of the Coronavirus created drastic shifts in the coffee retail sector, it didn’t slow down our nation’s need to consume their daily cup (or cups) of Joe. A recent report by the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) revealed that regular coffee drinkers are still drinking about three cups per day. Although 20% fewer Americans are visiting coffee shops, the coffee industry is experiencing upticks in curbside and pick-up orders, delivery orders and home coffee equipment sales (coffee makers, electric kettles, etc.).

In fact, home consumption by volume has increased significantly. The SCA’s report revealed an 11% increase in equipment sales with a median sale price of $139. This is because many Americans are seeking an at-home coffee experience similar to what they would experience at retail. This means trends are on the rise for café-quality coffee machines and automated touch-free coffee machines.
