There's some new research that looked into the best cities in America for coffee.  Which is a total-180 from three years ago, when we were emptying our cupboards looking for that can of Maxwell House from 2006.

They compared 100 of the largest U.S. cities across 12 metrics, including the number of coffee shops and roasters . . . the amount of coffee drinkers . . . the average prices in the area . . . and local coffee-related events.

In the end, San Francisco came in FIRST, followed by Portland, Oregon . . . Seattle . . . Orlando . . . Honolulu . . . Tampa . . . Austin, Texas . . . Oakland . . . New Orleans . . . and Pittsburgh.

If you're fine with two-day-old gas station coffee, Toledo, Ohio came in dead-last out of the 100 cities they looked at.

new survey by the National Coffee Association found that 63% of Americans drink coffee every day.  The average coffee drinker consumes three cups daily.
