If a daily cup of Joe is part of your morning routine…you’re not alone. In cities throughout America, coffee shops are omnipresent. In fact, nearly half of Americans over age 18 drink coffee. But which cities are the most coffee-addicted?

According to a recent study published by the Daily Beast, an online political and social news aggregator site, the top coffee-drinking city in the nation probably will come as no surprise: Seattle, Washington. As the home of the one of the world’s most well-known coffee house chains, Seattle is a city that knows good coffee.

So, how were the cities ranked? The Daily Beast used market research from NPD Group to choose the cities with the largest number of coffee shops per capita. Then, they considered the total caffeine consumption as measured by the most recent annual caffeine survey, commissioned by HealthSaver and conducted by Prince Market Research in 2008. In addition, they considered data on the average monthly spending on coffee purchases in the first quarter of 2010. We’re not sure if that factors in coffee consumption from office-delivery services such as Filterfresh or not, but either way, you can be sure that you’ll get your Joe in these towns.
