Americans love their coffee.
In fact, the National Coffee Association found that 62% of Americans drink coffee daily, and the average coffee fanatic drinks three cups a day. To find out which cities are best for coffee lovers, WalletHub gathered data from the 100 largest U.S. cities and ranked them from most to least friendly for coffee lovers. They then based final scores on data like the number of coffee shops, coffee houses and cafés per capita and the average price per pack of coffee to rank which of the 100 cities were best for coffee fanatics.
