The story
Which country drinks the most coffee? Not by total volume — that's just big populations — but per person. This spinning coffee cup counts down the world's top eight, from #8 up to #1, revealing each country's kilograms-per-person only when the wheel stops on it, then resizing the slices to their true proportions.
The podium is almost entirely Nordic: Belgium and Switzerland sneak in, but Sweden, Denmark, Iceland and Norway crowd the top — and Finland runs away with it at about 12 kg of coffee per person every year, roughly four cups a day for the entire country. Coffee-drinking, it turns out, is a Nordic superpower.
