Hungarians among top coffee consumers
On the occasion of International Coffee Day, Hungarian oil company MOL released interesting statistics, Világgazdaság reports. Across its gas stations in the region, 120 cups of coffee were brewed every minute, amounting to 40 million cups between January and August. Among the top coffee consumers were travellers from the Czech Republic, Hungary, and Croatia.
Marco Rossi, head coach of the Hungarian national football team and coffee ambassador for Fresh Corner, highlighted the similarities between Italians and Hungarians when it comes to coffee culture. “Both nations are passionate about coffee, though the types of coffee consumed in Hungary are different from those popular in Italy,” said Rossi, who is known to drink up to 6-7 cups a day.

- In Hungary, espresso is the clear favourite, followed by cappuccino and latte.
- Slovakia shows a similar trend, with espresso and long black being the most popular.
- In Serbia, espresso and cappuccino are also top choices, though espresso with milk takes second place.
- Meanwhile, the Czechs prefer latte, americano, and cappuccino,
