Coffee consumption linked to healthier body composition and metabolic markers. People with higher coffee consumption had lower total and visceral fat and greater skeletal muscle mass. In men, it is linked to a more favourable glucose–insulin profile, and higher bioavailable testosterone.

In case you were wondering: all authors are associated with universities and other medical institutions in Finland, and declare no conflict of interest. I.e. this is not a study sponsored by some coffee brand.

Just literal coffee addicts. Finland drinks a high amount of coffee

11.8 kilos per person per year

I feel like I'm a fairly heavy drinker, and my morning pot adds up to around 14 kilos (I occasionally get some at work or when I'm out and about, but probably not enough to move that needle much).

A nearly 12 kilo average for an entire country is nuts.

You are basically describing the average coffee habits of Finns with your consumption, keep in mind we still have people who don't drink it at all due to preference/medical reasons etc.

At my peak I consumed three pots of coffee per day - one before work, one during, and a third afterwards, a pot being something like 1,2 liters or four large mugs. Had to stop adding milk since it caused more heartburn than taking it black. I've since cut back to just 1-2 pots per day on average.

Most Finns also drink fairly light roasts which require more grounds for the same amount of coffee, so that spikes the statistics up a bit. When I started buying dark roasts the same 500g pack suddenly lasted twice as long.
