Americans are consuming more than 67 million lattes per year, replacing iced coffee with cold brew, and switching from almond to oat milk, according to a Coffee Data Report released by Square and the Specialty Coffee Association.
The report found oat milk sales have increased 425 percent since June 2017, and may soon surpass almond milk, which remains the most popular alternative milk at coffee shops across the U.S. Also, a standard latte isn't as appealing anymore, as the average American requests two add-ons to their customized coffee order. Meanwhile, the Australian coffee classic Flat White, a new addition to the U.S. coffee scene, is gaining in popularity quickly, with sales increasing 41 percent in the past year.
The national average tip on coffee is 11.4 percent. Alaska is the most generous state, with coffee drinkers leaving a 17.5 percent tip on average. New Jersey has the least generous coffee tippers where, on average, they leave a 7.5 percent tip.
