While more individuals speak Mandarin than any other language on the planet, English is undoubtedly the most widely spoken language. It is the first language in 112 countries; that’s more than half the nations in the world. And while Spanish is behind French and Arabic for the number of states in which it is the first language, it has a comparable number of speakers to English: approximately 329,000,000 worldwide.
The human race is mad for coffee and Australians and Kiwis are no exception. In Australia, approximately 75 per cent of the adult population admits to drinking coffee regularly. That figure is less in New Zealand at 52 per cent, but those that drink it often believe they consume more of it.
But coffee is popular all over the world. Incredibly, neither Australia nor New Zealand even makes the top 20 list of nations that drink it the most. In fact, 5 out of the top 6 are Scandinavian countries. It must be something to do with needing a pick-me-up during those dark winters!
So, with coffee being such a popular and essential drink in so many lives, it’s important that you’re able to order it wherever you are in the world.
