Hungarians drink an average of two cups of coffee a day and their favorite is espresso, according to a recent survey by OMV, which was completed by more than 6,000 people. Most people drink coffee locally and experience it as a kind of relaxation; and sustainability is an increasingly important factor when choosing.

Half of Hungarians drink two cups of coffee a day, and a third of them prefer a hot drink even more: they consume three or more cups of coffee, according to a recent national survey by OMV, which was completed by more than six thousand people. This year, as in previous years, espresso proved to be the most popular type of coffee: 56% of refillers typically choose this drink, followed by cappuccino (34%) and long coffee (19%). The majority (46%) drink coffee with milk, 19% black, 18% with cream, and the least with herbal drinks (7%). Half of the respondents sweeten their coffee with sugar: this is not unique to the age group over 65, only 17 percent of whom flavor their coffee in this way. A third of respondents consume it without sugar (29%), but even sweeteners are a popular choice (23%).

Almost all refillers drink coffee at home, but a third of them also drink at work and at filling stations. When they are on the road, three-quarters of them consume the refreshing drink locally if possible. It’s no wonder, since the respondents typically see coffee as a kind of “self-time”, speed is an important aspect for only one in ten people. When shopping, Hungarians typically ask for their usual, favorite coffee, and a third of them like to try new flavors. Arabica is a clear favorite: this is the most important aspect when choosing coffee.
