New research commissioned by Alpro Barista found that those who live in the Welsh city drink three cups of the caffeinated beverage every day, which is more than any other location in the UK.
It has also been found by the survey that Brits, on average, tend to drink more coffee than tea, which is a hot drink often more closely associated with the nation.
As a nation, the classic cappuccino has been crowned the UK’s favourite coffee (15%). However, the north/south divide in England holds true when it comes to coffee, as northerners prefer instant coffee with milk or plant based option (19%), while southerners love a foamy cappuccino (15%). Residents of the coffee capital, Cardiff, have chosen instant coffee with milk or plant based option as their favourite (19%). Londoners stand apart by preferring the creamier latte (17%).
Despite the cappuccino taking the top spot, Brits are open to trying new coffees, with over three-quarters keen to try something new.
The average Brit drinks 2.7 cups of coffee a day, while nearly a sixth (14%) drink more than five coffees a day, whilst a cappuccino - which is espresso traditionally prepared with steamed milk including a layer of milk foam - came out as the favourite coffee drink, and oat milk is the nation's plant-based alternative to milk.
Zoe Gardner, Head of Alpro Marketing UKI said: “Whether it’s a taste preference or a dietary requirement, Alpro provides a variety of plant based options for every taste.
"We’re encouraging the nation to ‘Be Your Own Barista’ at home and make your favourite coffee however you like it. Our Alpro Barista range is specially created to deliver the perfect coffee shop experience at home with a fabulous foam. For the oat adorers, our Alpro Oat Barista brings a neutral creamy taste to any coffee moment.”
To celebrate the popularity of oat drink, Alpro Barista is launching a coffee roadshow, giving consumers free coffee in Manchester (29 and 29 September) and London (5 and 6 October).
