A survey by coffee makers Percol reveals a change in the UK's drinking habits.
Once tea was the dominant drink in the UK. Now coffee reigns supreme. As an extension of our new found foodie-status the average UK household stocks three different varieties of coffee. Expenditure on coffee overtook tea back in 1998 and has continued to rise since then.
People in London and the South East are more likely to have more varieties of coffee in their home. The study also revealed that over two thirds of kitchens stocked ground beans. Origin is increasingly important as is fairtrade branding. The most popular countries of origin are Colombia and Mexico.

Love those PG tips.

Up until 15 years ago I drank coffee in the morning and tea in the afternoon, until I found that most coffee served was coloured water, and I could carry extra tea bags in my purse and make it the strength I want. Strong, milk & sugar. When I can't get Dilmah, Yorkshire or London Cuppa which I can get at Marshalls, and Marks & Spencer Extra Strong will do admirable. Dilmah is pure Ceylon and not blended.
