The data revealed that Nottingham had the most coffee sales across the last year, with 1,217,916 sales, Leicester came in second with 1,004,677 sales and Birmingham in third with 809,821 coffee sales.
The sales data shown in the tables was gathered from Selecta Hot Drink Vending Machines where coffee was available to purchase. The data gathered was from 1st January 2020 to 31st December 2020.
Selecta predicts with the Covid-19 pandemic easing up and restrictions being lifted, commuters will no doubt return to having their favourite coffees on the go. According to the research black coffee was the most popular in the UK with over 5m sales in the past 12 months.
Cecily Batten, head of marketing at Selecta, said: “It was fascinating to see the results of the study and to see where the biggest coffee lovers are! Our coffee vending machines help meet the expectations of today’s consumers by offering a range of coffee types.
“We offer a wide variety of healthy options too alongside our coffees, to encourage our consumers to make their own choices when it comes to on-the-go refreshments.”
