Do you mean “buy” as in importers, total national consumption, or per‑person (per‑capita) consumption? The answer differs:
Quick summary
- Per‑capita (coffee drank per person): Nordic countries top the list. Finland is usually #1 (~10–12 kg/person/year), followed by Norway, Iceland, Denmark, the Netherlands, Sweden and Switzerland.
- Total volume (largest national markets): the United States is by far the biggest market in absolute terms, followed by Germany, Brazil, Japan and France/Italy (order varies by year).
- Top importers by value/volume are mainly the EU collectively, the United States, Japan and other wealthy consumer markets (Germany, Italy, Belgium, France).
Why they differ
- Per‑capita rankings favor small, high‑consumption countries (Nordics).
- Total volume favors large populations (USA) or large coffee cultures combined with population size (Germany, Brazil, Japan).
- “Importer” lists depend on how much coffee a country sources from abroad (producer countries like Brazil export more than they import).
If you want I can pull the latest ranked lists (per‑capita and total consumption or import volume/value) for a specific year and source (ICO, FAO, Euromonitor). Which metric and year would you like?
