Toronto, ON – February 17, 2026 – Coffee remained Canada’s most-consumed beverage in 2025, with 71% of Canadians reporting they drank a coffee beverage yesterday, according to the Coffee Association of Canada’s Canadian Coffee Drinking Trends study.
Despite economic pressures and rising food and beverage costs, coffee continued to be a daily staple. Consumers are adjusting how and where they purchase their coffee—cutting back on out-of-home spending, stocking up when it’s on sale, and trying new brands at home—rather than giving it up altogether.
“Even in challenging economic times, coffee continues to play an important role in Canadians’ daily routines,” said Robert Carter, President of the Coffee Association of Canada. “What we’re seeing isn’t a decline in consumption, but a shift in behaviour as consumers adapt to higher prices and seek value.”
Traditional coffee remains the most popular choice, with 45% of Canadians consuming a traditional coffee beverage yesterday, followed by 29% enjoying espresso-based drinks. Eight in 10 Canadians noticed coffee prices rising, and more than half report cutting back on non-essential spending, including socializing less.
“These trends highlight the resilience of coffee demand in Canada,” added Carter. “Consumers are still choosing coffee, but in new ways—buying on sale, experimenting at home, and making thoughtful choices about where they spend their money.” All data is from Winter 2025 and reflects adult Canadians aged 18+, from the Coffee Association of Canada’s proprietary Canadian Coffee Drinking Trends study.
