In 1999 there were 108,000,000 coffee consumers in the United States spending an approximated 9.2 billion dollars in the retail sector and 8.7 billion dollars in the foodservice sector every year (SCAA 1999 Market Report).

They also reported that 18.12% of the coffee drinkers in the United States drink gourmet coffee beverages daily (NCA).
