Americans love iced coffee – level 1
02-12-2024 15:00
In 2023, Americans spent over 17 billion dollars on iced coffee, cold brew, and frozen coffee. It is twice as much as in 2016.
Young people love cold coffee. They drink it all year. Big companies, like Starbucks, help make it popular. In Starbucks, 76% of drink sales are cold in 2024. Cold coffee is fun for young people. You can buy many flavors. It tastes less bitter than hot coffee. And it looks cool on social media. Chains like Dunkin’ also sell a lot of iced coffee.
Hot coffee is still the most popular, but cold coffee is growing fast. Americans love trying new things. That is why cold coffee is more popular in the US than in Europe or South America.
Difficult words: cold brew (coffee which you make with cold water), sale (how much a company sells), flavor (what something tastes like).
