Same about limonades. My brother's favorite looks like pee. Or milk because it starts to taste bad if i leave it for 2 hours when drawing. I only really drink water, and juice when i can get my hands on it.
I will probably never drink alcohol, because i think that something that smells so horrible cannot taste good.
Yeah, it's true. Even I have three or four bags of coffee in my kitchen. Then again, that's because at least half of them "have gone old", since I rarely drink it and equally rare host my friends. But when I do the latter, they bring a new bag, since they're sure my old ones "have gone bad".
More of a tea person, myself. Have also dozen different teas, which DO change time to time after the old ones have been used up. :P
Then again, I'm writing this at a local foodjoint with a big membership-bonus coffee right in front if me...
@Velgar I remember when I was living in finland I had someone send me Barrys tea from ireland as I couldn't stand the breakfast tea in finland.
and I remember the coffee at the uni i was studying at was god awful.
But the other coffee in general was quite good, If a little too light roasted for my preference.
@Lokireloaded Breakfast tea is the only kind of tea I can't do, try as I might. The only time I liked it enough to continue drinking it was when my friend's English husband made it, and that was only because he loaded with sugar and whole milk. Which, being raised to drink tea straight (without any additives), was a very strange experience.
@NineOrangeHills When you drink a couple of liters of coffee every day, then you're getting into the realm of "much".
3-4 espressos... I am sure there are lots of scandinavians who wouldn't be able to survive on that little coffee.
@NineOrangeHills 3-4? Well they are espressos at least... I drink two cups of coffee in the morning. At 10am I have a coffee break at work (yes it's called a damn coffee break) usually just one cup here. At 12 I have lunch break and usually get a cup of coffee for dessert. Another coffee break at 2pm means one more cup. When I get home I usually make about half a pan of coffee and drink it during the evening. So 5 cups from morning to end of work and however much I drink in the evening. I'd estimate 8 cups for the whole day at minium. And I don't even drink as much coffee as the guys on the construction side. Those guys either have their tools or a cup of coffee on their hands.
@snow2nose We're both drinking hella' lot of Koffee. It's a tie if you ask me. I LOVE koffee more than any sort of drink.Though, I can't drink mutch of it. Because of my Young age. But I really love it. I really do. We drink it every day, all day, on our way to work, on our work, and after work. And of course, on our dayily traditional "fika". You've maybe Heard of that? We sit down, talk, having a good time maybe have some cookies och a sandwisch you get it. I don't want to say anyone drink more koffee than enyone in the Nordic, really. And that's pretty typical Swedish to Think, haha. That's what I Think. We drink the most koffee in the whole World. we, Finland and Sweden. Now, let's go and bully the others for not chowing any interest in sutch a wonderful Culture as koffee, chall we?
See? *Totally* got Sweden beat! We drink coffee 2.1 kg more than Norway, 3 kg more than Iceland, 3.3 kg more than Denmark, 3.6 more than Netherlands and 3.8 kg more than Sweden. Now, try to get your tie with *Netherlands* and a little more to at least get in the top 5 with *all* the other Nordics. You don't get to tie with another Nordic country with Netherlands drinking more coffee than you do and every other Nordic country drinks more coffee than Netherlands.
@Suominoita On many other lists and maps you can see that Sweden, Norway and Finland is laying on top of the countries that drink most coffee in the World actually. this issn't about winning or anything. I just want to say that the Nordics drinks the most all together because well, it's hard to say who drinks the most because it's constantly changing.
@stabcutdrink It probably also has something to do with the source of the data. I checked a few graphs. Finland was consistently at 12-12.5 in 2016-2018, but Sweden was all over the place. From around 11 to 7-ish. Often in the same year, just from different sources. It makes me a little suspicious of the statistics.
Curiously the Netherlands seems to have cut their coffee consumption by around 60% in just 5 years, having been well above 20 kg per year. If the statistics are to be believed (again, unsure about just how much effort was put into collecting and verifying the data), a massive cultural change has happened in half a decade. There could be an interesting story there.
Sweden is also one of the most koffee consumes in the World. It's like, Sweden VS Finland VS Norway. Let's say The Nordic countries consumes the most koffee in the World instead. so we don't have to fight about it or something.
Also interesting. In general up to two cups of coffee are healthy, and more unhealthy. For Scandinavians (and Finns I guess), the limit is 4 cups... Explains a lot.

Note that coffee is not just coffee. Americans are used to very thin coffee. This can be a problem if they move to Denmark, and continue drinking as much of the office coffee as they are used to.
@LietuvaiteMetaliste Someone comes over? After the greetings the most common question is "juotko kahvia?" which means "do you want some coffee?" (actually "do you drink coffee?" but that's translated word by word and skips the idea of the question).
