Coffee Time. (https://blog.parrikar.com/2021/07/03/coffee-time/)

If I lived in Iceland I would want a motorcycle (with saddlebags to hold thermoses of coffee.) With a 'bike you can easily get to so many gorgeous places that are questionable or impossible in a car.
Coffee is almost a religious object in Scandinavian countries. My father came from Norway, and his mother brewed coffee the "traditional" Norwegian way: Put ground coffee and water in a kettle and boil the daylights out of it. For her 90h birthday her sons gave her a Percolator as a present. She was delighted. She immediately threw out the inner "percolator" parts and boiled a fresh pot of coffee her traditional way...
I like these images a lot, Rajan.

Beautiful images and different mood around a same drink…
Eric, I didn't know that coffee was that big in northern countries. I thought it was only popular in southern countries like Spain and Italy.

Thank you, Eric. Fascinating to hear about your grandmother. Did the coffee genes percolate to you as well?

Thanks, Francois.
See this link (https://theroasterie.com/coffee-obsession-which-countries-drink-the-most-coffee/) for the highest coffee consumption per capita and you'll see how crazy the Nordics are.
And here (https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/top-10-coffee-consuming-nations.html) is a more recent compilation.

Wow!
It's amazing to me that the Nordic countries top the scale for coffee consumption, since I don't believe coffee is grown anywhere near them.
My wife and I typically have only about two cups a day, and that is partially decaf (but always fresh ground from organic beans.)

Very instructive. Could it be because Italians (and other southern country citizens) drink in very small cups of coffee?
Anyway, thanks for the info, Rajan!

My aunt here in America was addicted to coffee flavored ice cream.
