The bar graph illustrates the outcome of a survey conducted about the consumption and purchase of coffee and tea habits in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, and Hobart.
Overall, among the five cities, visiting a café for coffee or tea was the most popular activity, consistently showing the highest percentages, with Adelaide being the only exception. Consumers buying instant coffee was more common than individuals preferring to buy instant coffee, which was the least favoured, except in Sydney, where the proportions were relatively close.
With regard to the individuals who visited cafes, this was the most favoured, where Melbourne recorded the highest percentage at approximately 65%, followed by Hobart and Sydney at nearly 63% and 62%, respectively. In contrast, Adelaide recorded the lowest percentage of café visits at almost 50%, while Brisbane remained slightly higher at 55%.
As per the survey, the percentage of individuals who have bought fresh coffee in the last 4 weeks maintained less than 45% within each city. Adelaide and Brisbane recorded the lowest fresh coffee drinkers at 35%, equally. Sydney had the least discrepancy over instant and fresh coffee drinkers.
Comparatively, more than half of the population that drank instant coffee were from Brisbane and Adalaide, with Hobart leading at 54%, while the other two cities lagged behind at 53% and 50%, respectively. In comparison, Sydney and Melbourne had the smallest proportion for buying instant coffee and the former maintained the lowest at 45%.
