How many pounds of coffee does an average shop use?

There's no single answer to this question! The amount of coffee an average shop uses depends on a LOT of factors:

* Shop size: A small coffee kiosk will use far less than a large cafe.

* Coffee type: Espresso-based drinks use less coffee per cup than drip coffee.

* Menu: A shop serving only coffee will use less than one that also serves tea, pastries, or food.

* Customer traffic: A busy shop in a high-traffic area will use more than a quiet, less popular shop.

* Brewing methods: Different methods use varying amounts of coffee.

General Estimates:

* Small kiosk: 5-10 pounds per week

* Small cafe: 20-40 pounds per week

* Mid-sized cafe: 50-100 pounds per week

* Large cafe/roastery: 100+ pounds per week

Remember: These are just estimates! The actual coffee usage for any individual shop will vary greatly.
