Coffee Facts Coffee represents 75 percent of all the caffeine consumed in the United States. Raw coffee beans soaked in water and spices are chewed like candy in many parts of Africa. Coffee is a fruit. Coffee beans aren't beans: they are berries (often called cherries) and they're green. Coffee contains twice as much caffeine as tea. The average American adult consumes 26.7 gallons of coffee per year. The United States consumes more than 20 percent of the world's coffee. Slow-brewing coffeemakers release more flavor from the beans. With the exception of Hawaii, no coffee is grown in the United States. In the last three centuries, 90 percent of all people living in the Western world have switched from tea to coffee. In the ancient Arab world, coffee became such a staple in family life that one of the causes allowed by law for marital separation was a husband's refusal to produce coffee for his wife.
