To mark the occasion, the ever-busy folks at  (who appear to be amped up on caffeine 24/7, given the multitude of surveys they continually crank out) have issued a list of when it comes to loving a cup of java.
No surprise (duh, even) that Seattle and Portland, Ore., top the list. But Honolulu? Amazingly, we’re No. 19.
The metrics include the average price of a pack of coffee as well as a cappuccino, and in that regard Honolulu was just about the most expensive among the cities surveyed.
We are also at No. 4 for most coffee shops, coffee houses and cafes per capita, again behind San Francisco, Seattle and Portland.
(There are at least four within a block or two from Civil Beat’s offices on Waialae Avenue; we’ve also got a well-used Nespresso machine in the kitchen.)
The city that ranked last for coffee loving? Laredo, Texas.
Says the Hub, “According to a , nearly two-thirds of U.S. adults today drink coffee, and each averages 2.7 cups of joe per day. Some estimates even place Americans in the lead of global coffee consumption, at , earning us the status as the most caffeinated — and wired — humans on the planet.”
