I would say I wouldn't agree, but maybe our language in common is why we don't agree - for example, the idea that coffee is 80% takeaway... this global report puts it at 65% in cafe. My experience in most of europe is about 75% in cafe: https://www.grandviewresearch.com/industry-analysis/cafe-mar...
So maybe your use of coffee is just different to you know, the old world ways that developed it.
I said most coffee is consumed take away... With the report you mentioned (65%) that is still correct.
I pointed to Starbucks for the 80% angle...
I currently live in Vietnam and I'd say it's probably 50% or less takeaway depending on the day and the venue (most takeaway is done from little stands that don't even have place to sit...)
I do have to say your "the old world ways that developed it." Is wrong on all counts...
1) I'm European and have consumed coffee in Europe... As well as America, Vietnam, countless other places.... over extended periods of time... Context being everything aka american forum etc.... Unless a location is explicitly specified it would make sense to put it in an american context.
2) coffee drinking came from the middle east to Europe so unless you're using "the old world ways" to mean the middle east... (which would be an uncommon language / culture thing on your part.)
Again I understand your context but in this final post you really seemed to get nitpicky and rather look for where "he's wrong" rather than a quest for truth.
Anyway to speak/write or to communicate/seek that's the question. Have a nice day
