America is the No. 1 country for coffee consumption, with millennials accounting for about 44 percent of all U.S. coffee demand, according to a 2016 report from Bloomberg.

WalletHub compared 100 of America’s most populated city on 14 key metrics to determine what cities were best for coffee lovers. Among the metrics were:

  • The average price per pack of coffee
  • The average price of a cappuccino
  • The average spending on coffee per household
  • The share of households that own coffee makers
  • The number of coffee shops, coffee houses and cafes per capita
  • The amount of Google search traffic for the term "coffee"

Perhaps unsurprisingly, Seattle topped the list with a score of 68.58 out of 100.
