Korean Coffee

Most people would relate Asia with tea; however, coffee consumption in South Korea has been growing gradually over the past years.

South Koreans love their coffee. In Korea, around 80 percent of the coffee consumed is accounted by vending machines. There are about 350,000 vending machines across Korea selling coffee.

Instant coffee is predominant in Korea, but coffee houses are starting to push more and more consumers towards quality coffee. In Seoul, there are many coffee shops, which began to appear in major cities in the late 1990s, to choose from.

Coffee shops in Korea have a great selection of coffee from Vietnam, Brazil, and Honduras. Contrarily from the United States, coffee drinkers in Korea love to spend time enjoying their coffee, as well as, socializing with the people around them.

Coffee shops in Korea not only sell coffee, but also offers a great selection of magazines, freshly baked cakes, and they also let you buy coffee mugs.
