Overall Themes

Some shifts are occurring in 2016 versusprevious years. Overall, behaviors thatskew younger (seen most amongconsumers aged age 18-39) are growing,while behaviors that are less commonamong younger consumers are flat ordeclining. Behaviors that are slowlygrowing include lighter coffeeconsumption (slightly fewer drinkers andslightly lighter cups per drinker per day),drinking espresso-based coffee anddrinking coffee out-of-home. Behaviorsthat are slowly declining include drinkingtraditional coffee and drinking coffee athome. Note that most of these shifts areoccurring over the last few years.We don't yet know if this is part of alonger-term fundamental shift in coffeeconsumption. Future years of tracking willreveal this longer-term perspective.

We are specifically seeing past-daycoffee consumption declines among40-59 year olds. This may be related toeconomic uncertainty. In this study, 40-59year olds are more likely than youngerconsumers to report feeling negativeabout their personal financial situationand people who feel negative about theirpersonal financial situation are more likelyto report drinking less coffee away fromhome or to not drink coffee away fromhome at all.

Single-cup system ownershipcontinues to grow, while drip continues to slowly decline.

What People Are Drinking

Past-day coffee penetration is slightly soft — it sits at 57% in 2016 versus 59%in 2015. It is important to note that themove from 59% in 2015 to 57% in 2016 isnot a statistically significant decline.However, past-day coffee penetration was61% in 2014. The move from 61% in 2014to 57% in 2016 is a statistically significantdecline. Although we can't make directcomparisons to data from before 2012because of a change in the datacollection methodology, we want to point

out that past-day penetration in 2009-2011 ranged from 56% to 59%, so the 57% is similar to numbers we haveseen in the recent past.

Past-day coffee penetration is stablefrom 2015-2016 across age groupsexcept 40-59 year olds. Among 40-59year olds, past-day penetration declinedfrom 62% in 2015 to 53% in 2016.

Traditional coffee is soft. Past-daypenetration of total traditional coffee isdown from 48% in 2015 to 43% in 2016.Past-week penetration of total traditionalcoffee is down from 68% in 2014 to 65%in 2015 to 61% in 2016. Past-yearpenetration of total traditional coffee isdown from 73% in 2015 to 70% in 2016.

At the same time, past-daypenetration of espresso-based beveragesis slightly up, moving from 16% in 2015to 18% in 2016. It is too early todetermine if this is a fundamental shift orone year of volatility, but we are seeing,at minimum in the context of 2016, a shiftfrom traditional coffee to espresso-basedbeverages.

We are also seeing consumersexploring new coffee types. On a past-year basis, 8% of consumers say thatthey have tried flat white, 10% claim tohave tried nitrogen carbonated coffeeand 15% claim to have tried cold brewcoffee.

Espresso-based beverages skewyounger. Within the past week, 44% of18-24 year olds and 50% of 25-39 yearolds drank espresso-based beverages.This contrasts with 26% of 40-59 year oldsand 19% of those aged 60+. At the sametime, younger consumers are less likely todrink traditional coffee — a total of 49%of 18-24 year olds claim to have drunktraditional coffee in the past weekcompared to 70% of those aged 60+. So the shift from traditional coffee toespresso-based beverages may reflect thegrowing importance of youngerconsumers to the coffee market.

Coffee penetration past-week isslightly soft, but not showing statisticallysignificant declines. Past-week coffee

penetration was 71% in 2015 and 69% in2016. Past-year coffee penetration isslightly down, moving from 78% in 2015to 76% in 2016.

How Coffee Is Prepared

Overall, coffee additive behavior is stable.However, we are seeing the emergenceof new whitening options. In total, 5% of past-day coffee drinkers added a non-dairy milk to their coffee (e.g.,almond, coconut, soy, rice, etc.). Whilestill niche, this reflects an evolving way toconsume coffee. This behavior is drivenby younger drinkers, who are redefininghow coffee is traditionally consumed. Intotal, 7% of past-day coffee drinkers aged18-24 and 9% of past-day coffee drinkersaged 25-39 added non-dairy milk to thecoffee they drank yesterday. Thiscompares to 4% among those aged 40-59 and 2% among those aged 60+.

The percent of households that own asingle-cup machine increased from 27%in 2015 to 29% in 2016. We also seeincreasing penetration of single-cupmachines at work. In 2016, 1/3 (33%) ofthose who have a workplace coffee areahave a single-cup machine. Thiscompares to 30% in 2014-2015.

Drip coffee makers continue to declineslowly. A total of 50% of those who drankcoffee yesterday claim to have drunkcoffee prepared in a drip coffee machine.For the first time in recent NCDT history,

only half of people who drank coffeeyesterday drank drip coffee. The presenceof the drip coffee maker at work is alsodeclining — from 59% of workplacecoffee areas in 2015 to 55% of workplacecoffee areas in 2016.

Where People Are Drinking

Coffee preparation out-of-home is up. In2016 34% of consumers drank coffee out-of-home. This compares to 30% in2015. The increase is driven byfoodservice, and specifically “café/coffeeshop/donut shop”; in 2016, 13% of past-day drinkers drank coffee prepared in thischannel. This compares to 9% in 2015.

Consistent with this, a small butgrowing percentage of consumers arepreparing coffee at home that they claimto have bought in coffee shops. In 2016,6% of people who prepared coffee athome claimed to be drinking coffee thatthey bought in a coffee shop. Thiscompares to 4% in 2013, 2014 and 2015.Out-of-home coffee consumption skewsyounger. In total, 50% of those aged 18-24 and 51% of those aged 25-39 whodrank coffee yesterday drank coffee out-of-home. This compares to 42%among those aged 40-59 and 16%among those aged 60+.

Personal Financial Perception

Younger people are more likely to feelgood about their personal financialsituation. A total of 45% of those aged18-39 feel that their personal financialsituation is much or somewhat betterversus six months ago. This compares to21% among those aged 40+. Those whofeel that their personal financial situationis better are more likely to claim that theyare drinking more coffee — both at homeand away from home.

Since 1950, the National CoffeeAssociation of U.S.A. hascommissioned an annual survey ofAmericans regarding their consumptionof coffee and, since 1993, their habitsand practices related to espresso-based beverages, includingcappuccino, espresso, latte,iced/coffee blended with ice, cafémocha and macchiato.

The study provides the longestavailable statistical series on consumerdrinking patterns related to coffee andother beverages. In the earliest years,the study was sponsored by the Pan American Coffee Bureau and thenthe International Coffee Organization.Since 1991, the study has beenfinanced and conducted by theNational Coffee Association of U.S.A.

Recent Enhancements

The tracking of habits and practices as they relate to the consumption ofcappuccino, espresso, latte andiced/coffee blended with ice began in1993, café mocha was added in 1999,Macchiato was added in 2009, caffè Americano was added in 2014,and flat white, cold brew coffee andnitrogen carbonated coffee wereadded in 2016. In the past, thesecoffee types had been presentedseparately from what was historicallydefined as coffee: regular, soluble(instant) and decaffeinated coffee. Thisseparation was maintained to ensurecomparable historical trends. Given theincrease in consumption of thesecoffee types, however, their data hasbeen, since 1999, aggregated with thetraditionally defined coffeeconsumption data in defining the totalU.S. market and in tracking theconsumption of total coffee. Statisticsbreaking out these newer additions tothe market are also presentedseparately and titled accordingly.

As a result, since 1999, the totalcoffee market includes all coffee types:regular, instant and decaffeinated

coffee and Gourmet Coffee Beverages,which includes gourmet (premiumwhole bean or ground) coffee,iced/coffee blended with ice, coldbrew coffee, nitrogen carbonatedcoffee and espresso-based beverages,such as cappuccino, espresso, latte,café mocha, macchiato, caffèAmericano and flat white.

Beginning in 2006, profiling non-drinkers of coffee was added to the study.

In 2010, several changes were madeto the way in which coffee types areprofiled:

• Previously, Gourmet coffee was treated as a format (equivalent to Regular coffee or Cappuccino for example). Since 2010, Gourmet is treated as an option for every brewed coffee format. As a result, the questionnaire now asks if each cup of brewed coffee was or was not Gourmet (defined as brewed from premium whole bean or ground varieties).

• Previously, iced coffee was also treated as a format. Now, iced is treated as an option for every coffee format (e.g., a consumer can have an Iced regular coffee, Iced Cappuccino, Iced Latte, etc.). As a result, the questionnaire now asks if each cup of coffee was hot or iced.

In 2011, several questions were addedthat have been retained:

• Questions were added around amount of coffee wasted when preparing coffee at-home.

• Questions were also added around preparation of single-cup — both brewed single-cup and instant stick pack.

• Questions were added to profile how coffee use evolves as consumers age and change life stages.

In 2012, there were a few additionalquestionnaire changes:

• Café con leche was added as adistinct coffee type.

• Coffee strainer was added as a coffee preparation method.

• Alcohol, water and condensed milk were included as something that could be added to prepared coffee.

• “Small corner store” and “given as a gift or sent to me” were added as purchase options for coffee prepared at-home.

• A section on workplace coffee was added.

• The section on understanding the effect of the economy on coffee consumption was changed.

In 2013, a few changes were made:

• Other natural sweeteners (e.g., stevia, honey, etc.) were added as options that might be added to coffee.

• An espresso-sized cup was added as a cup size.

• Questions were brought back on coffee certifications and coffee equities.

• A statement was added aboutsingle-cup brewers, “This brewer is able to make a wide variety of coffee flavors or roasts.”

• For single-cup brewers, attitudinal statements with wording referring to “coffee packets” were changed to “coffee disks/capsules.”

In 2014, there were somequestionnaire changes:

• Pour over (e.g., Chemex) was added as a preparation method.

• A question about coffee roast (e.g., Light, Medium, Dark) was added.

• For instant coffee, respondents were asked about how the water used for the coffee was heated.

ClassificationUpdates 2010-2016 Previously, coffee was classified as “instant” or “brewed.” This list was

expanded in 2012 to include nine preparation options, in 2014 to include tenpreparation options, and in 2016 to include twelve preparation options. Nine ofthese preparation options are classified as “brewed” during the results analysis,two are classified as “instant” and one as “ready-to-drink.”

Italian style brewer)• Percolator• A machine that uses a

pre-measured, sealed disk or

capsule of coffee to make a single-cup

• Coffee strainer• Pour over (e.g., Chemex)

(added in 2014)• Cold brewing (brewed without

heat for a long period of time) (added in 2015)

Classified as Instant• Instant coffee (adding hot water

to coffee granules, powder or syrup in a cup)

• Coffee concentrate (that you buy in a bottle and add water or milk to) (added in 2015)

can or carton

• Milk alternatives (e.g., soy milk), evaporated milk and espresso shot were added as something that might be added to coffee.

• The type of liquid and powdered creamers (e.g., dairy, non-dairy, flavored, unflavored) was probed.

• If coffee was bought at a QSR, café, donut shop, convenience store or gas station, consumers were asked if they purchased it at adrive-through.

• Whole bean or ground coffee was asked if coffee was prepared at-home.

• Wasteful packaging/not environmentally friendly added to list of disadvantages of usingstick packs.

• Quality of taste (e.g., tastes very good, somewhat good, etc.) was asked for coffee producing countries.

• Utz Certified was added to list of coffee certifications.

• “Worth paying a little more for” was added to the list of certification program meanings and “Better price for coffee” was removed from the list.

• Questions were added asking about different reasons and situations for drinking coffee.

• Single-cup brewer owners are now asked which brewing method they used most often prior to owning the single-cup brewer.

• Caffè Americano, Lemonade and Soup were added to the list of beverages consumers could make with their single-cup brewer.

• In the list of single-cup attitudes, this statement was added: “A single-cup brewer is a good way to make tea and other beverages.”

In 2015, there were somequestionnaire changes:

• Lemonade was added to the beverages that consumers could drink past-day.

• Cold brewing was added as a preparation method.

• Coffee concentrate was added as a preparation method.

• Coffee roast (light, medium, dark) was asked of all coffee. Previously it was asked for brewed coffee only.

• Condensed milk (as a coffee additive) was changed to Sweetened condensed milk.

• Whole bean coffee that you ground at home, Whole bean coffee that you ground in the store, Already ground before you bought it were options consumers could select for ground coffee purchased for at-home use.

• “Most coffee is grown in an environmentally sustainable way” was added as a statement in the coffee equity section where consumers were asked agreement/disagreement.

• When working or studying at a coffee shop was added to the list of situations when consumersdrink coffee.

• Respondents were allowed to enter 'other' reasons for limiting the amount of coffee they drink.

• Consumers were directly asked if they own a single-cup brewer. Prior to this, the option “Already have this brewer in my home” was a response option in a question around purchase intent for single-cup brewers.

• Chai latte was added to the list of beverages that consumers could make with their single-cup brewer.

• Cold brewing and Coffee concentrate were added to the list of brewing methods that single-cup owners could have used prior to using their single-cup machine.

• Those who own a single-cup brewer were asked how likely they are to buy a new single-cup brewer in the next six months.

In 2016, there were somequestionnaire changes:

• Unflavored bottled water was split into two types (not carbonated versus carbonated).

• Coffee options were expanded to include flat white, cold brewed and nitrogen infused.

• Hot chai tea latte, iced chai tea latte, hot tea latte (not chai), iced tea latte (not chai) and matcha tea were added to the tea beverage list.

• Coffee additives options were expanded to include “other natural sweeteners (honey, maple syrup, Stevia), milk, and milk alternatives (soy milk, almond milk, etc.).

• A new question polled respondents on the types of milk and milk alternatives they add to their coffee.

• Additional questions on instant coffee stick pack advantages and disadvantages were removed. Certifications were expanded to include Bird Friendly and coffee produced from a single origin.

• A question on the effect of certifications on purchase interest was added.

• Need states were expanded to include when consumers “need a moment to myself,” “when I need energy that lasts a long time,” and “when I need to cool down.”

• Situations during which coffee is consumed were expanded to include “something to drink with dessert,” and “when getting ready for my day.”

• Factors that limit consumers' coffee consumption were expanded to include “It's too much work to prepare at home” and “I'm concerned about developing a coffee habit.”

• The following attitudinal statements were added for single-cup brewers: –It makes a large enough

cup of coffee.–There is less leftover, wasted

coffee.–No one has to compromise —

we each have whatever coffee we want.

–A single-cup brewer is the only way I know how to make coffee.

• A new question was added on the reasons consumers choose to drink coffee at restaurants or cafés, while another new question asked for reasons consumers choose to drink coffee at home.

• Additional demographic information was collected on the ages of members of the respondent's household and the nature of the household's

geographic area (such as city, suburban, rural, etc.).

Changes were made to the datacollection dates. In 2015 and 2016,interviewing occurred in mid-to-lateJanuary. Previously, field dates tendedto be late-January to late-February.

Data collection continues to evolve toreflect the changing reality of themarketplace:

• Interviewing for the NCDT was initially conducted face-to-face.

• The study transitioned to a telephone methodology in 1979.

• Starting in 2010, the study migrated to online data collection (a self-completed online survey). This was preceded by two years (2008 and 2009) in which the same questionnaire was administered on the telephone and online.

• In 2012, the study remained online but the sample profile changed; in previous years, quotas were used to ensure that the study mirrored the U.S. population in terms of age, gender and region. Ethnicity quotas were not used. In 2012, quotas for Hispanic-American and African-American ethnicity were introduced for the first time. The survey was also offered in Spanish, which allowed for the inclusion of less acculturated Hispanic-Americans, and the additional breakdown of results by level of acculturation.

• In 2013, the sample profile was structured to include a representative sample of the U.S. population with quotas for Hispanic- Americans and African-Americans without oversampling for these groups. The survey also continued to be offered in Spanish.

Ethnic Sample andWeighting

In order to obtain a solid read of coffee consumption andattitudes among the Hispanic-American population, a total ofn=452 Hispanic-Americanconsumers were interviewed inthe 2016 NCDT.

The final dataset was weightedbased on age, gender, region and ethnicity to match the U.S.population based on the 2010U.S. census. Because the sampleprofile was structured to mirrorthe population on theseattributes, the weighting did not significantly affect the sampledistribution.

Data Collection

The 2016 National Coffee Drinking Trendsstudy was conducted among both malesand females, 18 years of age or older,who consumed a beverage other than tapwater the day prior to being interviewed.The samples are representative of thepopulation of the U.S. (235,016,000 aged18 years or older).

The methodology for the online survey was:

• Nationally representative sample of 2,782 people aged 18 years and older.

• Respondents randomly selected from online panels.

• Interlocking quotas were used for age, gender, region, Hispanic-American ethnicity and African-American ethnicity.

• Within the Hispanic-American sample, quotas were established for languages spoken at-home (English dominant, bilingual and Spanish dominant). This was used as a proxy for acculturation.

• For the fifth time, the survey was available in English and Spanish.

• All respondents drank a beverage other than tap water past-day. Drinking coffee is not a requirement to participate in the research.

• Data collection: January 11- January 26, 2016 with daily quotas to ensure a balanced mix of days of the week. This is earlier than in previous years, when field dates tended to be late-January to late-February.

Regions

The region breaks used in thisreport are based on the U.S.Census Regions and Divisions.

Dayparts

Each respondent was interviewedregarding the beverages that theyconsumed “yesterday”— i.e., the daybefore being contacted. Specifically,consumption information was collectedfor each of six time periods:

Breakfast – defined to respondents as“the first meal after rising, even if youonly had fruit juice or coffee”

Morning – defined as “between breakfastand lunch”

Lunch

Afternoon – defined as “between lunchand dinner”

Dinner

Evening – defined as “after dinner”

If coffee was consumed during one ormore of these time periods, details ofcoffee consumption practices for eachtime period were collected. In addition tothis time-period-specific information,coffee drinkers were asked in detail aboutmore general coffee consumptionpractices, as well as attitudes and

perceptions with respect to coffeebeverages.

Past-Week and Past-Year Consumption

All survey participants were asked about the length of time since lastdrinking coffee:

• For each coffee beverage not consumed yesterday, respondents were asked if they consumed any in the past-week. For each coffee beverage consumed in the past-week, they were asked about the details of their consumption.

• For each coffee beverage not consumed yesterday or in the past week, respondents were asked if they consumed any in the past year.

• Finally, a demographic profile of all survey participants — whether coffee drinkers or not — was collected.

• The salient highlights of the data are included in this summary report. At the conclusion of this report are Annex tables that summarize critical consumption measures from 1950 to the present.

10RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

Nomenclature

Total Coffee: includes all coffee types.

Traditional Coffee – Not Gourmet:Traditional Coffee (Traditional Coffee,drunk hot or iced) that is not brewed frompremium whole bean or ground varieties.

Instant Coffee: instant coffee from a can or jar (adding hot water to coffeegranules or syrup in a cup) or instantcoffee from single pre-measured stickpack (adding hot water to coffee granulesin a cup) or instant coffee from coffeeconcentrate (that you buy in a bottle andadd water or milk to).

Decaffeinated Coffee: a cup of coffeethat was decaffeinated or a combinationof decaffeinated and caffeinated.

Gourmet Coffee Beverages: TraditionalCoffee – Gourmet, espresso-basedbeverages and iced/frozen blendedcoffee.

• Traditional Coffee – Gourmet: Traditional Coffee drunk hot or iced that is brewed from premium whole bean or ground varieties.

• Espresso-based beverages: includes cappuccino, espresso, latte, café mocha, macchiato, flat white and caffè Americano.

• Iced/Frozen blended coffee: includes Iced and Frozen blended coffee.

• Cold brew coffee (brewed without heat for a long period of time).

• Iced coffee infused with Nitrogen (carbonated).

Café con leche can be included in:Traditional Coffee – Gourmet; orTraditional Coffee – Not Gourmet. Thedistinction is based on the respondentbelieving that the Café con leche was orwas not gourmet coffee — that is,brewed from premium whole bean orground varieties.

“Daily” or “Past-Day” penetration refersto respondents who drank coffee or

Gourmet Coffee Beverages the daybefore they were interviewed. Theserespondents may not necessarilyconsume coffee or Gourmet CoffeeBeverages every day.

Caveat

Data collected using differentmethodologies should be compared with caution, as the data collectionmethodology itself can affect the results.

The 2012 NCDT data collectionmethodology is different versus previousNCDT research because: previousethnicity imbalances have been corrected;the survey is now offered in Spanish; and there are quotas within the Hispanic-American sample for languageuse at-home.

As such, any changes in reportedcoffee behavior in 2012 versus previous years may stem from the different sample profile and not from changes inthe market.

For this reason, refrain from makingdirect comparisons between 2012 dataand data from previous years.

Comparisons can however be madebetween 2012 – 2016 data.

PAST-DAY CONSUMPTION 11

Past-Day Beverage Penetration – Trending

Coffee clearly dominates anincreasingly fragmented beveragemarket. More Americans aged18+ drink coffee on a given daythan any other beverage.However, daily penetration hassoftened over the past five years— it was 57% in 2016, 59% in2015, 61% in 2014, 63% in 2013and 64% in 2012. Each year-to-year shift has been within thestudy's margin of error. However,if we look at the five year period,there has been a significantdecline in past-day penetration.

Between 2012 and 2016,jockeying for the number twoposition has been intense: softdrinks held it in 2012, but havesince slipped to fifth place. In2016, 19% more American adultsdrank coffee than soft drinks. This compares to 20% in 2015and 2014, 17% in 2013 and 14% in 2012.

Tap water had been gainingon coffee. However, 2016 sawdeclines in tap water as it movedfrom 54% past-day penetration in 2014 to 49% in 2015 and 46% in 2016.

Unflavored bottled water has seen strong growth in 2016. It moved from 40% past-daypenetration in 2015 to 48% in2016. It now sits in second place(only slightly ahead of tap water)in terms of the percent ofAmericans who drink it on a givenday. It must be noted that someof the growth in bottled watermight be linked to the fact that, in 2016, the survey split bottledwater into carbonated and un-carbonated. This gaverespondents two bottled wateroptions.

In 2016, tea sits in fourth placewith 44% past-day penetration.Soft drinks rank fifth, with 58%penetration and juice ranks #6,with a new low of 27% dailypenetration.

Past-Day Coffee Penetration – Long-Term Trending

Tracking U.S. coffee consumptionfor over 60 years, the NationalCoffee Drinking Trends study firstlogged more than 75% ofAmericans aged 18+ drinkingcoffee on any given day. Thesenumbers slowly declined until themid-1990s, when the percentageof Americans aged 18+ drinkingcoffee on any given day dippedbelow 50%. Since then, thenumbers have rebounded andslightly retracted. In 2016, thepercent of Americans aged 18+who drink coffee on any givenday is 57%, which is consistentwith numbers seen in the mid-1970s and about 80% of1954 levels.

13PAST-DAY CONSUMPTION

Past-Day Beverage Penetration – by Age

The strong lead in past-daybeverage consumption that coffeehas opened up over soft drinksappears to carry across all ages in2016. Consumers 18-24 years ofage show a preference for past-dayconsumption of coffee over softdrinks by a 7 percentage-pointmargin. For other ages, thepreference persists with even widermargins: coffee leads soft drinks by 24 points for the 25-39 group, 13 points for the 40-59 group and 28 points among those 60+.

Looking back at data compiledby the NCA in prior years, past-daycoffee consumption has outpacedsoft drinks within each of the last six years among most age groups.While direct comparisons to pre-2012 data require caution giventhe methodological enhancement of adjusting the study panel tomirror U.S. population proportionsof Hispanic-Americans and African-Americans (2012 PanelEnhancement), some discussion of relative levels within prior years can be viewed as a roughindicator that enables longer-termassessment of data.

With that caveat, soft drinks'dominance among those 18-24 wassignificantly lower in 2012 versusthe levels in 2010 and 2011, withcoffee overtaking soft drinks in2014. By comparison, soft drinks'lead over coffee ran about 10 pointslower in 2010 and 2011 among the25-39 age group before coffeeovertook soft drinks in 2012 andwidened its lead in 2014. Thismargin remained relatively stable in2015 and 2016. Only for the 60+contingent did coffee lead softdrinks in each of the seven years,sustaining a fairly consistent leadthroughout.

Base: Total sample aged 18+ -2016 (n=2,782); 18-24 (n=427), 25-39 (n=798), 40-59 (n=968), 60+(n=589).

Past-Day Penetration of Coffee – byAge (see chart next page): In 2016 (andin the previous eight years of tracking),past-day coffee penetration is loweramong 18-24 year-old consumers (48%)than those aged 25+ (53-64%). Yet, past-day penetration among the 40-59age group is weaker in 2016 than it wasin 2015, reaching the lowest levels seenin the most recent eight years of tracking.It is too early to know if there is an issuewith coffee consumption among 40-59year old consumers. However, given thestrength of the decline in this age group,this needs to be monitored.

Over the last six years, NCA datatracked for the NCDT report reveal avolatile relationship to coffee, particularlyamong those aged 18 to 39. While directcomparisons to pre-2012 data dictatecaution given the 2012 PanelEnhancement, there appears to besustained, if not growing, strength amongall under 40, particularly those 18-24.Despite the panel enhancement, therelationship to coffee among those 40and over between 2010 and 2013appears steady but strong and somewhatsofter between 2014 and 2016.

Looking back at earlier NCDT datacollected by the NCA, there appears tobe a long-term tendency for volatile dailypenetration results among those in the18-24 age group, as well as for thoseaged 25-39. Despite caution due to the2012 Panel Enhancement, as well as the2008 methodological upgrade of shiftingpolling from telephone to online (2008Methodology Enhancement), thenumbers are of a dimension that likely

transcend the enhancements and point toa significant, overall shift in consumerbehavior. Between 2000 and 2016, dailypenetration among the 18-24 age cohortalmost doubled — from 25% in 2000 to48% in 2016. Among those 25-39, therewas an 18% increase, with consumptionmoving from 42% in 2000 to 60% in2016. Prior to the 2016 decline,consumption among those 40-59remained essentially stable. Over thesame period, the 60+ contingent showedminor signs of softening until reaching a15-year low in 2014, following directlytracked declines from 71% in 2012 and76% in 2013 to 65% in both 2014 and2015 and 64% in 2016.

Past-Day Penetration of Coffee – by Type

Past-day penetration of GourmetCoffee Beverages (GCB), acategory which includesTraditional Coffee – Gourmet (TC-G) and Espresso-BasedBeverages (EBB), is 31% in 2016,stable versus 31% in 2015 anddown slightly from 34% in 2014.Despite caution regarding directcomparisons to 2010 and 2011due to the 2012 PanelEnhancement, overall trendingsuggests sustained momentumfor GCB throughout the last sixyears, if not longer. The GCBdecrease in 2015 was the firstrecorded decrease for thisbeverage segment. It was drivenby decreases in past-daypenetration of both EBB and TC-G. In 2016, EBB recoveredversus 2015 (moving from 16%past-day penetration in 2015 to18% in 2016. However, in 2016,past-day penetration of TC-Gcontinued to erode. It movedfrom 19% in 2014 to 16% in 2016and 14% in 2016.

Past-day penetration ofTraditional Coffee (TC), whichincludes Traditional Coffee – NotGourmet (TC-NG) and TC-G, has been declining, coming in at43% in 2016 versus 48% in 2015,50% in 2014, 54% in 2013 and56% in 2012. The 2015 decline isdriven by a drop in past-daypenetration of TC-G and TC-NG.

Past-Day Penetration of Coffee Types –by Age (see chart next page): As notedpreviously, overall past-day coffeepenetration skews older. Forty-eightpercent of consumers aged 18-24 drinkcoffee past-day in 2016, compared with64% of those 60+. This skew is most seenin TC-Total and TC-NG. However, theskew is not seen across all coffee types.For example, TC-G is consumed past-dayat roughly equal levels across all agecohorts. EBB are significantly less popularamong the 40+ cohort at 9-13% past-daypenetration versus 22% for those 18-24 and 29% for the 25-39 group.

With added perspective from priorNCA data, we see that the magnitude ofage skew remained fairly consistent from2007 through 2010. After 2010, studydefinitions were changed to recognize thegrowing conflation of coffee made withgourmet beans as “regular coffee”because of evolving consumerperceptions, making direct datacomparisons untenable. However, somenotable shifts between 2010 and 2011and between 2012 and 2016 suggestsome potential longer-term patterns.

Total coffee consumption amongthose 18-39 increased significantlybetween 2010 and 2011, while itdecreased notably among those 60+. TC-Total also increased, as did GCB(including both TC-G and EBB sub-categories). Much smaller increases werefound for TC-NG, except among the 40-59 group, whose TC-NG consumptionincreased while its GCB consumptiondecreased. These data suggest greatproportional strengthening of gourmet

coffees, except among the 40-59 agecohort.

Tracking 2012 through 2016 data,some interesting patterns also emerge.There's been a decline in totalconsumption among those 60+, as wellas in TC-Total among those 40-59 and60+. Similarly, there was a decrease inTC-NG for the same age groups and, to a lesser degree, for those 25-39. TC consumption appeared to declinenotably among those 18-24 between2014 and 2015 and remained at thesedepressed levels in 2016. Between 2015and 2016, we see a 10% decline in past-day penetration of TC-Total among those aged 40-59 and an 8% increase in past-day penetration of EBB amongthose aged 25-39. Overall, these dataappear to suggest an overall shift intoGCB while not increasing overallconsumption.

Past-Day Penetration of Coffee Types –by Ethnicity (see chart next page): Thereare some clear differences in past-daycoffee consumption by ethnicity.Hispanic-Americans are more likely thanother ethnic groups to drink coffeeoverall. Hispanic-Americans lead otherethnic groups by a wide margin in GCB.Generally, Caucasian-Americans take thesecond spot for daily consumption of TC categories. These data reveal thatCaucasian-Americans trail Hispanic-Americans by a larger margin in GCBcategories than in TC categories,including TC-G. African-Americans areless likely than the other reported ethnicgroups to drink coffee past-day and todrink EBB and TC-G.

A look back at NCA data from prioryears expands the perspective on these2016 data. Tracking back to 2012, whenthe study sample for Hispanic- andAfrican-Americans was enhanced to alignwith the U.S. population, the strength ofcoffee penetration in the Hispanic-American population quickly becameapparent, with TC-Total consumptionincreasing from 49% in 2012 to 65% in2013, slightly easing to 58% in 2014 and55% in 2015 and moving to 69% in 2016.Throughout 2012 to 2014, GCBconsumption remained steady amongHispanic-Americans, dancing within themargin of error — 46% in 2012, 44% in2013 and 48% in 2014. In 2015, GCB

consumption among Hispanic-Americanswas down significantly to 38%, butrebounded to 46% in 2016. Bycomparison, GCB consumption forCaucasian- and African-Americans was flat between 2012 and 2016. Interestingly,among Caucasian-Americans, there was aslight decrease between 2014 and 2015in EBB from16% to 13%. This has beenreversed in 2016 — returning to 17%.

PAST-WEEK AND PAST-YEAR CONSUMPTION 24

Penetration of Coffee – Past-Day/Week/Year

Overall coffee penetration on apast-day, past-week and past-yearbasis is slightly soft versus a peakin 2012-2013 but largely flat overthe eight year period reportedhere.

While pre-2012 data must beviewed with caution due to the2012 Panel Enhancement, the2012-2015 figures are consistentwith numbers seen in previousyears. There is an obvious jumpmoving from 2011 to 2012 in allthree bases, likely due to theproportionate representation ofHispanic-Americans who,according to other NCDT data,consume coffee in largernumbers. However, despite thisjump, penetration of coffee forpast-day, past-week and past-yearappear to have settled at roughlythe same levels seen between2008 and 2011. This consistencysuggests that U.S. coffeeconsumption at this macroperspective is mostly steady overthe medium term.

This suggestion, viewedtogether with other data in thisNCDT report on consumerpreferences for various traditionaland gourmet coffee options, mayindicate a marketplace with morevertical than horizontal elasticity.Such a marketplace wouldsuggest that there is moreopportunity in a strategic focuson product variety than consumerbase expansion.

Past-Week Penetration of Coffee – by Type

Past-week GCB consumptionpeaked in 2014 at 50%. It was47% in 2015 and 45% in 2016.The 2014 to 2015 decline wasdriven by both a decline in EBBand TC-G consumption, whichsaw a 3 to 4 point drop versus2014. Comparing past-weekconsumption of both EBB andTC-G in 2016 versus 2015, we seethat the numbers are flat.

Tracking NCA data back to2005, there's a notable past-weekconsumption shift towardgourmet coffee varieties. GCBclimbed from 35% to 45%between 2005 and 2016 (withnegligible methodologyenhancement shifts). Both GCBcomponents EBB and non-EBBpremium coffee (“GourmetCoffee” until 2010 and “TC-G”thereafter) were also up duringthe period — 20% to 34% forEBB (with a possible nine-pointincrease at panel enhancement)and 17% to 21% for TC-G (withfive points possibly tied to thepanel shift). Conversely, coffeeregarded as non-specialty(“Regular” through 2010 and“TC-NG” thereafter), declinedappreciably from 58% in 2005 to 44% in 2016.

Past-Week Penetration of Coffee Types– by Age (see chart next page): Patternsin past-week penetration among differentage groups are similar to patterns seen in past-day penetration. Overallconsumption tends to skew older, with64% of 18-24 year olds drinking coffeepast-week versus 75% of consumers aged60+. The shift in 2016 (also seen forpast-day consumption) is that fewer40-59 year olds are drinking coffee. Past-week coffee penetration among 40-59 year olds is 64%. This is on par with 18-24 year olds and down from 72%in 2015.

Broken out by type, TC-Total, which isan aggregate of TC-NG and TC-G (simplyput, all coffee drunk “plain” as opposedto espresso-based creations) skews older,while GCB, comprised of TC-G and EBB,skews younger.

Digging deeper, the TC-NGsubcategory of TC-Total (that is, coffeedrunk plain and not made from gourmetquality beans) also skews older than themutually exclusive category of GCB.Moreover, comparing the two subsets of TC-Total, TC-NG also skews older than TC-G.

Specifically, consumption of “plain”coffee (TC-Total) is strongest among the60+ group, 21 points ahead of those 18-24 although by only seven to 11points compared with those between 30 and 59. For TC-NG, those 60+ camein 20 points ahead of the 18-24 group,but only nine and 10 points, respectively,ahead of the 40-59 and 25-39 cohorts.

TC-G exhibits very little age skew. It continues to be most popular amongthe 25-39 group, which came in at sevenpoints ahead of the 60+ cohort, butinterestingly also six points ahead ofthose 18-24.

EBB is the one category that skewyounger, with the 18-24 and 25-39

contingents leading the pack. Past-weekEBB consumption is 44% among 18-24and 50% among 25-39. This compares to26% among 40-59 and 19% among 60+.

A look back at NCA data from prioryears shows that the same generalpattern for GCB skewing younger holdstrue. Among the 18-24 year olds, GCBconsumption increased by 12 points from2012 to 2016, reaching more than half, at56%. The same holds true for the 25-39group, with consumption reaching 58% in2016, up 5 points from 2013 and on-parcompared with 2012.

For EBB, notably, there's been asteady climb from 2012 to 2016 for mostage groups. Consumption among the 18-24 group rose by nine points, forthose 25-39 up by four points, and the60+ cohort by four points. Only amongthose aged 40-59 has past week EBBpenetration eroded between 2012 and 2016, with penetration in this group moving from 29% in 2012 to 26% in 2016.

Note that no analysis of earlierconsumer behaviors is possible since,prior to 2010, past-week penetration ofcoffee types by age was not broken out.

Past-Week Penetration of Coffee by Type – by Ethnicity

On a past-week basis, Hispanic-Americans are significantly morelikely than Caucasian-Americansand African-Americans toconsume coffee. African-Americans are less likelycompared with all other ethnicgroups reported in this study toconsume coffee on a past-weekbasis. Hispanic-Americans aresignificantly more likely than anyother group to consume TC-T,TC-NG, TC-G, EBB and Decaf.Asian-Americans report relativelyhigh past-week penetration ratesfor EBB (lower levels thanHispanic-Americans, but higherthan levels reported byCaucasian-Americans and African-Americans).

Comparing 2015 and 2016, we see stability among Hispanic-Americans and Caucasian-Americans and declines amongAfrican-Americans and Asian-Americans (note that Asian-American data is based on a smallnumber of interviews and must betreated with caution). Specifically,among Asian-Americans, reportedpast-week consumption of TC-Gis down from 29% to 19% andEBB is down from 52% to 46%.Among African-Americans, past-week penetration of GCB isdown from 40% to 32%. This isdriven by reported declines in TC-G (down from 20% to 13%)and EBB (down from 32% to27%). In contrast, past-weekpenetration of TC-NG (regularcoffee made from non-gourmetbeans) is stable among bothAfrican-Americans and Asian-Americans between 2015 and 2016.

Past-Week Penetration of GourmetSub-types – by Age (see chart nextpage): Those aged 25-39 are particularlystrong consumers of this segment; thoseaged 25-39 are, within the past week,more likely than all other reported agegroups to have drunk EBB, cappuccino,mocha, espresso, TC-G, caffè Americano,flat white, cold brew and nitrogen-infused. Those aged 18-24 are also strongconsumers in this segment. Their past-week penetration ranks second behindthose aged 25-39 for EBB, cappuccino,mocha, espresso, cold brew and nitrogen-infused. Those aged 18-24 and 25-39 aremore likely than those aged 40+ to havedrunk latte, macchiato and frozenblended coffee within the past week.

Compared with NCA data from prioryears, there's been an overall increase inGCB from 2012 to 2015 among the 18-24year olds, as well as for EBB's including:Cappuccino, Latte, Espresso andMacchiato.

Comparing NCA data from 2013 todata from 2016 reveals that those aged18-39 are, overall, more likely to haveconsumed most gourmet coffee sub-types in the past week. In particular, past-week penetration of gourmet coffeebeverages is up 8% among 18-24 yearolds and 5% among 25-39 year olds, past-week penetration of espresso-basedbeverages is up 6% among 18-24 yearolds and 9% among 25-39 year olds, past-week penetration of cappuccino isup 4% among 18-24 year olds and 9%among 25-39 year olds, past-weekpenetration of latte is up 5% among

Past-Week Penetration – Traditional versus Gourmet Coffee Beverage – by Age

Assessing the mix of consumptionhabits among traditional andgourmet coffees on a past-weekbasis reveals an age-related link.As consumers age, they are morelikely to be exclusive TC-NGdrinkers. Consumers aged 18-39are more likely to have consumedGCB only than those aged 40+.Those aged 60+ are significantlyless likely to have consumed bothTC-NG and GCB within the pastweek than those in all youngerage groups.

There have been decreases inexclusive TC-NG consumptionfrom 2012 to 2016 for all groups,most pronounced among those18-24. At the same time,consumption of both traditionaland GCB increased among allage groups between 2012 and2015.

Between 2015 and 2016,the percentages within each agecohort drinking TC-NG only haveremained largely stable. Thepercentage of 40-59 year oldsdrinking GCB only has declinedfrom 24% to 19% and thepercentage of those aged 60+drinking GCB only increased from17% to 21%.

Past-Year Penetration of Coffee – by Type

Past-year penetration of coffee isdown 2% in 2016 versus 2015.This decline is statisticallysignificant.

With due caution for pre-2012data, a look at 2010 and 2011suggests a longer-term macrostability for Total Coffee. Past-yearpenetration of total coffee was77% in 2010 and is 76% in 2016.Past-year penetration oftraditional coffee — total was 71% in 2010 and 70% in 2016.Gourmet coffee beverages,traditional coffee – gourmet,instant and decaf also seeessentially unchanged past-year penetration numbers ifwe compare 2010 versus 2016.Continuing with the 2010 versus2016 comparisons, traditionalcoffee – not gourmet sees growth(47% past-year penetration in2010 versus 51% in 2016), asdoes espresso-based beverages(50% past-year penetration in2010 versus 54% in 2016).

Tracking NCA data back to2005, GCB remained steady at60% between 2005 and 2016,despite interim volatility and a six-point decline post-2008Methodology Enhancement.Regarding GCB's components,EBB increased from 51% in 2005to 54% in 2014, with no apparentmethodology change impacts.Surprisingly, non-espresso-basedgourmet coffee (“GourmetCoffee” pre-2010 and “TC-G”thereafter) fell, from 37% in 2005to 25% in 2016, with a 24%interim low in 2006. At the sametime, past-year consumption ofcoffee regarded as non-specialty(“Regular” through 2010 and“TC-NG” thereafter) remainedstable at 51% in 2009 (lastavailable data) and 51% in 2016,with a 2013 interim high of 56%,with no apparent methodologyshift impact.

HOW COFFEE IS CONSUMED 40

Method of Preparation Among Past-Day Drinkers (see chart next page):The drip coffee maker continues to bethe dominant preparation method, but itsuse has been in decline over the lastseveral years. In 2016, a total of 50% ofpast-day coffee drinkers drank coffeeyesterday that was brewed using thismethod. This compares to 54% in 2015,53% in 2014, 58% in 2013 and 61% in2012. While pre-2012 must be viewedwith caution due to the 2012 PanelEnhancement, it is interesting to note thatthe percentages for 2010 and 2011 were77% and 70%, respectively. It seemsimportant to emphasize that only one-halfof past-day coffee drinkers drank coffeebrewed with a drip brewer yesterday. Thisrepresents a gradual but fundamentalshift in the American coffee landscape.

Single-cup brewers are the secondmost common preparation option past-day, with 28% of past-day coffeeconsumers drinking coffee brewed usingthis method yesterday. Between 2014 and2016, this number has been flat (29% in

2014, 25% in 2015 and 28% in 2016). Thisis up significantly from 20% in 2013 and19% in 2012. Again with due caution, alook at pre-2012 data shows dramaticallylower use of 9% and 7%, respectively, in2010 and 2011.

Past-day espresso machine use sits at12% in 2016. This is up from 9% in 2015and on pat with 12% in 2014. Lookingcautiously back beyond 2012, espressomachine use came in at just 1% in 2011and 5% in 2010, a similar trend noticedwith single-cup brewer usage.

43HOW COFFEE IS CONSUMED

Coffee Consumers – by Additive Type

Roughly half of coffee consumers(47%) claim to have sweetenedand whitened the coffee theyconsumed yesterday. Anadditional 20% said they onlywhitened their coffee, while 9% used only sweetener and 24% used nothing.

Please note that consumersmay not consider some preparedcoffee beverages, such ascappuccino, to have anythingadded. Therefore, they mayrespond that they add nowhitener to their coffee.

Due to periodic fine tuning ofsurvey questions to optimize datautility, tracking to data prior to2012 would be imprecise. Thedata for this question hasremained mostly stable since2012. In 2016 versus 2015, wesee fewer consumers claiming tosweeten only.

Base: Past-day coffee drinkers aged 18+ - 2012 (n=1,933), 2013 (n=1,789), 2014 (n=1,671), 2015 (n=1,644), 2016 (n=1,571).

Additives Past-Day – Total Coffee

Similar to 2013 through 2015,whitening is the most commonadditive behavior for coffee, with68% of past-day coffee drinkerswhitening their coffee in 2016.Creamers are the most widelyused whitener (35%), followed byhalf and half (14%), whole milk(13%), reduced fat milk (10%) andfat free/skim milk (4%).

More than one-half ofconsumers (55%) use sweetenersor syrup in their coffee. Amongsweeteners, sugar is the mostused (38%), followed by artificialsweeteners (12%) and othernatural sweeteners (3%).

In 2016, the research askedabout an expanded list of non-dairy milk alternatives (e.g.,soy milk, rice milk, etc.). In total, 5% of past-day coffee drinkersclaim to have added milkalternatives to their coffee.

Use of many of the additives is significantly lower among thoseaged 60+ than those in youngerage groups. These additivesinclude sweeteners (sugar) andwhiteners (whole milk, dairy-based and flavored liquid andpowdered creamers). In fact, the60+ age cohort is more likely thanyounger consumers to drink theircoffee black (in the past-day, 33%drank one or more cups of coffeewithout adding anything).

Younger consumers are more likely to add flavored syrup, non-dairy milk alternatives, dairy-based and flavored creamer(both liquid and powder), anespresso shot and water. Base: Past-day coffee drinkers aged 18+ - 2016 (n=1,571).

Number of Cups Per Day – Past-Day

The number of cups drank past-day among the total sampleand past-day coffee drinkers isslightly down in 2016 versus2015. This measure had beenstable between 2012 and 2015.Looking at NCA data from prioryears, cups per day haveremained largely consistent.Tracking data back to 2001, withdue caution dictated by themethodology enhancements in2008 and 2012, average cups perday among past-day coffeedrinkers was 3.27 and, on a per-capita basis, 1.8.

We will need to see additionalyears of tracking to understand if cup-volume declines are a oneyear blip or the start of a shift in behavior.

* The NCDT, beginning in 2012, includes a representative sample of Hispanic-Americans and African-Americans. Comparisons to years prior to 2012 must be made with caution, since the panelenhancement may impair direct tracking.

Cups per Day of Coffee – by Age – Past-Day

In the recent past, older coffeedrinkers drank, on average, morecups per day than younger coffeedrinkers. In 2016, we see stablecups per drinkers amongconsumers aged 18-39 anddeclines among those aged 40+.It is these declines among coffeedrinkers aged 40+ that are drivingdeclines seen within the totalpopulation. It is worthremembering that the percentageof consumers aged 40-59 whodrank coffee yesterday is alsodown — so we see fewer past-day coffee drinkers in this agecohort and those who aredrinking are drinking slightlyfewer cups of coffee. As wasnoted with the total-sampleanalysis, it is too early to tell ifthese declines are a one-year blip or part of a larger behavioralchange.

Share of Cups – Gourmet versus Non-Gourmet

Share of cups of GCB has notchanged significantly in 2016(51%) compared to 2015 (48%)and 2014 (51%).

While pre-2012 must beviewed with caution, there wasat that time a more prominentskew toward non-gourmet. Thisprovides perspective on the morerecent results. The spread in favorof non-gourmet has clearlydeclined between 2010 and2016, from 20 and 26 points in2010 and 2011 to an equaldivision in 2016. Note thattracking data back beyond 2010would be unreliable because ofthe definitional changes in"gourmet" and "non-gourmet"coffees adopted by the study in2010 to reflect changingconsumer perceptions.

Cup Size

The medium-sized cup remainsmost prominent, with 50% ofpast-day coffee drinkers claimingto have used this size, up threepoints from 2015 and on par withresults from 2014. The next mostprevalent is the small cup, usedby 43% of past-day drinkers.Meanwhile, 16% of past-daycoffee consumers claim to havedrunk a large coffee yesterday,and 9% claim to have drunk anespresso-sized cup of coffee.These numbers are essentiallyunchanged over the past threeyears.

Please note that an espressosize cup was added as an optionin the 2013 NCDT study. Becauseof this additional response option,direct comparisons to 2012 resultsshould be made with caution.

A question on cup size wasintroduced in 2010. Data for 2010and 2011 were presented on aper-capita basis rather thanamong past-day coffee drinkers.While that makes comparisonsuntenable, cup size for both yearswas flat, coming in at about 20%using a small cup, one-thirdchoosing a medium-sized cupand 10% opting for a large cup.

Past-Day Consumption – by Time of Day

Breakfast was and remains thedominant daypart. We see thatconsumption during breakfast isflat to slightly softening. Withcaution for comparisons to dataprior to 2012, 91% of past-daycoffee drinkers claim to havedrunk coffee at breakfast in 2010.This sits at 82% in 2016. At thesame time, some post-breakfastdayparts appear to havestrengthened. A total of 18% ofpast-day coffee drinkers claim tohave drunk coffee at lunch in2016 versus 15% in 2012. A totalof 24% of past-day coffeedrinkers claim to have drunkcoffee between lunch and dinnerin 2016 versus 19% in 2012.

Afternoon consumption for2016, at 24%, is the highestthroughout 1999-2016, followedby 20% in 2011 and 19% in 2008,2009, 2012 and 2013, with abouthalf the level between 1999 and2007, with an average just under12%. Evening consumptionremains at an all-time high at15%, tied with 2008, with levelshovering in the 13-14% rangebetween 2008 and 2013;however, pre-2008 levels, whichneed to be viewed with cautiondue to the 2008 MethodologyEnhancement, were runningsignificantly lower, averaging 11%between 1999 and 2007.

Past-Day Consumption – by Time of Day – by Age

There are differences in terms ofwhen coffee drinkers in differentage groups drink coffee. AtBreakfast, those 60+ are mostlikely to drink coffee, while the 18 to 39 age group is least likelyto consume during this daypart.

Comparing pre-2012 NCAdata with due caution, age-specific past-day consumptionpatterns align with those of thetotal population. That is, there are marked increases in lesstraditional dayparts with anaccompanying decrease inBreakfast consumption.

In post-breakfast dayparts, the age profile shifts. Consumersaged 25-39 are strongestbetween breakfast and lunch and again at dinner and afterdinner, consumers 18-39 arestrongest at lunch and afternoon.

Looking back to previousyears, 18-24 year old Breakfastconsumption has declined slightlyfrom 2012 to 2016, from 77% to74%. Other age groups exhibiteda similar pattern, including a 2006to 2011 average of 84% amongthose 25-39 versus 2016's 77%and of 89% for the 40-59 groupcompared with 83% in 2016. Onlyfor the 60+ cohort has breakfastremained stable, remaining at92% versus a 2006-2011 averageof 92%.

Past-Day Coffee Place of Preparation – Total Coffee

Home is a consistently importantpreparation venue. In total, 81%of past-day coffee drinkersprepared at least one cup ofcoffee at home yesterday. Thestrength of home as a venue forpreparation is consistent with thestrong breakfast and morningcoffee consumption revealed inthis study. While home remainsdominant, there are signs of slowdecline. While 81% of past-daycoffee consumers prepared atleast one cup of coffee at homeyesterday in 2016, the equivalentmeasure was 84% in 2012 and,with caution regarding directcomparisons because of panelenhancements in 2012 andsubsequent years, 86% in 2010.

Out-of-home preparation for2016 is at 34%, which issignificantly up from the 30% in2015. The question about placeof preparation versus place ofconsumption was added to theNCDT survey in 2011, and theapparent jump into 2012 is likelydue to the effect of the PanelEnhancement; it would be toospeculative to read anything intothe increase, such as differenthome preparation habits amongthe enhanced Hispanic- andAfrican-American cohorts.

Regarding the out-of-homevenues, the majority of venuesremained flat from 2014 to 2015.The exception was cafés/coffeeshops/donut shops, which hasfluctuated from 12% in 2014 to9% in 2015 to 13% in 2016.

This figure is consistent since2012 and, with due caution related to the2012 Panel Enhancement, relatively stablestretching back to 2008 and beyond.

Looking at NCA data tracked inprevious years and published in earlierNCDT reports, the figure for at-homeconsumption has averaged 78% from2000 to 2007 and 83% from 2007 to2011. Another note of caution should be considered for data tracked prior to2009 due to the 2008 MethodologyEnhancement.

Regarding out-of home consumption,past-day coffee drinkers who claim tohave drunk coffee out-of-home yesterdayincreased markedly in 2014, to 35%versus 31% in 2013 and 33% in 2012. This number has increased again in 2016, moving to 40%. Prior to 2012, out-of-home consumption appeared tobe on a steady decline since 2008, from36% to 27% in 2011, although it bumpedup to a higher, steady level following the2012 Panel Enhancement. Looking backto NCDT data prior to 2008, out-of-home

consumption hit a peak of 40% in 2004and 2006 after a period of volatilityaveraging 33% from 2000 to 2007 thatappeared to show a dip averaging 31%between 2001 and 2003.

Regarding out-of-home venues in2016, there was an increase in EatingPlace in 2016 versus 2015, returning to2014 levels. Consumption at an EatingPlace is significantly up versus 2012-2013.Workplace consumption has slowlytrended up from a low of 16% in 2013 to 21% in 2016.

Past-Day Place of Consumption – Total Coffee – by Age

Consistent with the results seenfor place of preparation, place ofconsumption shows differencesby age. Consumers aged 60+ are most likely to consume coffeeat-home past-day (94% versus70%-76% among those aged 18-59). Younger consumers aremore likely to consume coffeeout-of-home than olderconsumers (50-51% among thoseaged 18-39 versus 16% of thoseaged 60+). Consumers aged 60+ are significantly less likely to have drunk coffee at work, at an eating place or whiletraveling/commuting than thosein younger age cohorts.

Share of Coffee – by Location Consumed

In 2016, 70% of all coffee cups werereported as consumed at home.Work is the next most importantvenue, with 13% of reported shareof cups. Of the cups consumed atwork, 70% are sourced from aworkplace coffee area.

Looking back at prior NCA data, the share of cups consumedat home has fluctuated over the last decade, hitting a low of 66% in 2004 and a high of 82% in 2011.With due caution related to thestudy's methodologyenhancements, some interestingdata shifts may neverthelesssuggest broad-brush patterns. The period from 2001 to 2007, prior to the shift from telephone to online polling, saw at-homeconsumption soften, from 75% in2001 to 67% in 2007. Between2008 and 2011, before the 2012Panel Enhancement, there was asignificant increase in at-homeconsumption — moving from 65% in 2008 to 82% in 2011. Thereafter,a drop to 77% in 2012 may relate to the panel shift, but there wasfurther softening to 72% in 2014.The 70% seen in 2016 marks a low-point for at-home consumptionversus recent years.

At-work share of cups has shown more stability throughout,fluctuating by only four percentagepoints between 2001 and 2007, andsettling at the same level — 16% in2007 versus 15% in 2001 — with aone-year peak at 19% in 2004.From 2008 to 2011, however, therewas a notable decline, with at-workshare moving from 17% in 2008 tojust 8% in 2011. The increase thatfollowed into 2012 could beexplained by the panel shift,although the share has remainedessentially flat at 12% in 2015 and2014 versus 11% in 2013 and 2012.

Base: Total coffee consumed (2015 n=4,153).

Share of Coffee Drinkers – by Past-Day Consumption Location

Another way to gauge wherecoffee is consumed is to examinethe share of consumers ratherthan share of cups. In 2016, 60% of past-day coffee drinkerssaid they consumed their coffeeat-home only. This figure is downversus 64% in 2015 and 68% in 2013.

The remaining past-day coffeeconsumers equally fall into one of two categories — out-of-homeonly or both at-home and out-of-home. Since NCA beganasking the question in 2012, out-of-home only consumptionhas been stable at 18% in 2015,17% in 2014, 18% in 2013 and17% in 2012. The number of past-day consumers who dranktheir coffee both at-home andout-of-home has shown somevolatility; in 2016 it sits at 20%, up versus 17% in 2015 andconsistent with the 19% seen in 2014.

There are some differences inthese behaviors based on agecohorts. Out-of-home onlydrinkers appear to skew younger.Those aged 40+ are more likelyto drink at-home only and thoseaged 60+ are less likely to drinkout-of-home only or to drink bothat-home and out-of-home.

SINGLE-CUP AWARENESS AND ACQUISITION 61

Single-Cup Brewing Systems – Awareness

Awareness of single-cup brewingsystems remained constant in2016 at 75%. The level ofawareness in 2016 is higher thanwhat was seen in years prior to2013 and stable over the pastthree years.

Consumers in younger agegroups (18-39) are significantlyless likely than older consumersto be aware of the systems. Infact, roughly one-third ofconsumers aged 18-39 are notaware of single-cup brewingsystems (compared with 23% forthose 40-59 and 18% for the 60+cohort). This finding is consistentwith stronger overall involvementin the coffee category amongolder consumers. There may bean opportunity for the industry to reach out to youngerconsumers, who will be movinginto the life-stages where they arebuying their first coffee brewers.

* The NCDT, beginning in 2012, includes a representative sample of Hispanic-Americans and African-Americans. Comparisons to years prior to 2012 must be made with caution, since the panelenhancement may impair direct tracking.

Base: Total Sample Age 18+ (2005 n=2,950, 2006 n=2,954, 2007 n=2,951, 2011 n=2,663, 2012 n=2,955, 2013 n=2,840, 2014 n=2,741, 2015 n=2,77), 2016 n=2,782).

NOTE: Age group sample sizes are based on 2015 data. Sample sizes in previous years are similar.

Several companies have introduced a new way of brewing coffee. With this brewer, you insert asingle, pre-measured, sealed disk or capsule of coffee into a specially designed machine. Themachine brews a single cup of coffee directly into your coffee cup.

Single-Cup Brewing Systems – Ownership

In 2016, more than one quarter ofU.S. households own a single-cupbrewer (29%). This is up 2% from27% in 2015. In 2015, the way theownership question was posed torespondents changed, so we can'tdirectly compare the 2016 and2015 results to results in previous years.

Growth in ownership over time shows that single-cupbrewing systems are continuingto demonstrate potential tofundamentally alter coffeepreparation habits.

Single-cup ownership is mostprevalent among higher incomehouseholds.

The NCA began trackingconsumer acceptance of single-cup systems virtually since theywere introduced. However, thenew format, which representedthe most disruptive new brewingtechnology since the automateddrip coffee maker was introducedin the 1970s, disappointedindustry expectations with slowinitial growth. As a result, theNCA discontinued tracking ofsingle-cup data from 2008 to2010, but resumed questioningin 2011. During the hiatus, thesegment grew by about onepercentage point per year.Clearly, the format gainedsignificant momentum in 2011,which has continued unabatedthrough 2016.

In 2016, 10% of those who areaware of single-cup brewers anddon't already own one indicatethat they will definitely orprobably buy one in the next sixmonths. This compares to 12% in2015. Even If we accept that notall of those people will in factpurchase a single-cup brewer, weshould still see continued growthof the systems in 2016.

Presence of Workplace Coffee Area

In 2016, 71% of consumers whowork have a workplace coffeearea, while 29% do not. This ratiohas been stable since thequestion was first posed in 2012.

In prior years, data wascollected on where coffeedrinkers consumed their coffee.Those data captured workplaceconsumption as one or more sub-sets of the "out-of-home"category. Survey descriptorsevolved with the times andincluded simply "work" (through2008), "workplace cafeteria" (2009 & 2010), "workplace coffeepot" (2009), "workplace coffeearea/spot" (2010), and"workplace coffee area" (2011).However, a dedicated sectiondetailing attitudes and behaviorsconnected with the "workplacecoffee area" was first introducedin 2012.

NOTE: Questions specifically pertaining to workplace coffee consumption were new in the 2012study and therefore there cannot be any comparisons made to previous years.

Base: Ever drank coffee and currently working outside home (2012 n=1,523, 2013 n=1,426, 2014 n=1,323, 2015 n=1,330), 2016 n=1,334).

Satisfaction with Workplace Coffee

Consistent with recent years,there are opportunities toimprove the workplace coffeeexperience. Fifty-four percent areless than “very satisfied” withtheir workplace coffee area.

It is likely that the 14% whoare “not very satisfied" or "not atall satisfied” with their currentcoffee preparation options will bethe most receptive audience forthe new coffee preparationoptions. Those who are “not verysatisfied” declined by three pointsfrom 11% in 2014 to 8% in 2015and remained stable at 8% in2016. This indicates thatdissatisfaction may have declinedslightly in recent years.

Satisfaction with Workplace Preparation Options

The type of coffee preparationoptions offered affects satisfaction.Similar to 2014 and 2015,consumers who are most satisfiedwith their workplace coffeepreparation options are those who have an espresso machine.Satisfaction with espressomachines at work is significantlyhigher in 2016 versus 2015, with70% being very satisfied and 94%being “very” or “somewhat”satisfied. These results areconsistent with 75% being verysatisfied with espresso machinesin 2012 and 98% being very orsomewhat satisfied.

In previous years, the single-cup brewer came insecond, followed by instantcoffee. Instant coffee has seenconsistently stronger performanceand now ranks on-par with single-cup in terms of satisfaction.In 2016, 55% of those who haveinstant coffee at work and 51% ofthose who have single-cupmachines at work say that they arevery satisfied with their workplacecoffee.

Countries Associated with Producing Coffee

Colombia continues to be mostassociated with producing coffee.However, associations ofColombia, Brazil, Costa Rica andMexico as coffee producingorigins are lower in 2016 than in2015. Colombia and Brazil haveseen several years of declines.

Tracking earlier NCDT data,moreover, we see minor shifts inrankings throughout these years:in 2013, Hawaii took the thirdspot from Costa Rica, andEthiopia jumped over IndonesianSumatra and Kenya for theeighth position; in 2012, Mexicoovertook Guatemala at numberfive; and in 2008, 2009 and 2010,Kenya landed ahead ofIndonesian Sumatra. Interestingly,the 2012 Panel Enhancementseemed to shift the scope of theassociations although not therankings. In general terms,associations with coffee droppedby a factor of about ten points forBrazil, and about five points forColombia and Costa Rica, whilethere was no jump in scale eitherway for the remaining countries.This shift in perceptions may belinked to the panel's largerrepresentation of Hispanic-Americans and African-Americansin proportion to the compositionof the U.S. population.

Quality of Coffee Produced – by Countries

When we look at perceptions ofwhether the coffee produced bydifferent origins “tastes verygood,” we see some differencesbetween countries.

In fact, perceptionsthat each country produces verygood coffee are generally slightlysoft in 2016 versus 2015 – downan average of 2%. OnlyGuatemala (+2%) and Mexico(+1%) have avoided declines inperceptions that they produce“very good” coffee.

Experience with Coffee Certification Programs

Overall, the majority of consumersare not very familiar with most ofthe coffee certification programs.With each of the certificationprograms, between 68% and 94%of consumers claim to have eithernot heard of them, heard of thename but not know anythingabout them, or know a little aboutthem but have never boughtcoffee with the certification. Thesefigures have not moved over thepast two years.

The most broadly purchasedcertifications (exclusive purchase,regular or occasional purchase)continue to be:

• Organic (26% in 2016 versus 25% in 2015)

• Fair Trade (23% in 2016 versus 18% in 2015)

• Rainforest Alliance (17% in 2016 versus 16% in 2015)

Single-origin coffee was nottracked prior to 2016. It performsrelatively well, with 32% claimingto buy this type of coffee(exclusive purchase, regular oroccasional purchase).

Base: Those who have drank coffee in the past-year (n=2,233).

Here are some different coffee certification programs. Please indicate your experience with each.

Effect of Communication on PurchaseInterest (see chart next page): 2016 seesthe introduction of a new question askingpeople what effect a number of claimshave on their purchase interest in a brandof coffee. Focusing on those claims thatmotivate consumers to be “much morelikely to buy,” first ranked is knowing theroast level. This is followed by single-origin and grown on farms that treat

workers well. Information about the typeof beans is relatively unimportant:knowing that the coffee is made with100% Arabica beans makes 15% ofconsumers much more likely to buy thecoffee, while knowing that the coffee ismade with 100% Robusta beans makes asimilar number (12%) much more likely tobuy the coffee.

Base: For non-certifications, those who have drankcoffee in the past-year (n=2,233). For certifications,base is those who have heard of the certification, basesizes vary.

Here are some things that a coffee company could sayabout their coffee. What effect do each of these have onyour interest in buying their coffee?

Coffee Equities

Approximately two-thirds ofconsumers agree (completely orsomewhat) that coffee wakesthem up and gets them going(64%), but that it is important tolimit caffeine intake (63%). Morethan half of consumers agreethat coffee helps improve theirmental focus (56%) and getthings done (54%), and haveheard information about coffee'shealth benefits (55%). Roughlyone-in-five respondents (20%)say their doctors advised themto limit their coffee intake. Wecan't compare these results toprevious years because in 2016we added a “don't know”response option. It's interestingto see that roughly one-third(28%) of respondents don'tknow if coffee is grown in asustainable way. This may be acommunication opportunity forthe industry.

Past-day drinkers and non-drinkers are equally likely toagree that they should limit theircaffeine intake, that they haveheard information about thehealth risks of drinking coffeeand to agree they have heardbad things about coffee in thenews. Given that both past-daydrinkers and non-drinkers agreeon these points, caffeine andhealth concerns are not, on theirown, the factors that determineif someone drank coffeeyesterday. What distinguishespast-day drinkers from non-past-day drinkers is that past-daydrinkers are more likely to agreewith positive coffee messages.They likely use this positivemessaging to balance anynegative messaging.

Reasons for Drinking Coffee – by Subgroup

When looking at reasons thatconsumers drink coffee by age,we see that consumers aged 25-39 are significantly more likelythan all other age cohorts to drinkcoffee when they want anantioxidant boost.

Conversely, those aged 60+ are significantly less likely thanyounger consumers to drinkcoffee:

• When they need to wake up.• When they need an

energy boost.• Whey they want a treat.• When they need energy that

lasts for some time.• When they need to focus.• When they want something to

pass the time.• When they need to cool down.

Males are more likely thanfemales to drink coffee when theywant something to pass the time,when they are thirsty, when theywant an antioxidant boost, whenthey need to cool down andwhen they want a healthy drink.Females are more likely thanmales to drink coffee when theywant a treat or a moment tothemselves.

* Prior to 2010, regular, soluble, and decaf coffee were defined as a subset of traditional coffee. Starting in 2010, brewed coffee, instant coffee and decaffeinated coffee are a subset of all coffee. For example, the NCDT now asks if a cappuccino is instant or brewed. Previously this was asked only for traditional coffee.

+ Prior to 2010, regular, soluble, and decaffeinated coffee were defined as a subset of traditional coffee. Starting in 2010, brewed coffee, instant coffee and decaffeinated coffee are a subset of all coffee. For example, the NCDT now asks if a cappuccino is instant or brewed. Previously this was asked only for traditional coffee.

* The NCDT, beginning in 2012, includes a representative sample of Hispanic-Americans and African-Americans. Comparisons to years prior to 2012 must be made with caution, since the panel enhancement dictates technically that tracking be viewed as directional only.

NOTE: Starting in 2010, data collection was completed online instead of bytelephone. In 2008 and 2009, data was collected separately by telephone andonline; the numbers on the chart are from the online survey in order to promotedirect forward tracking from 2010 on.

reflect respondents age 18 and over and/or change to include gourmet coffee beverages.

+ Prior to 2010, regular, soluble, and decaffeinated coffee were defined as a subset of traditional coffee. Starting in 2010, brewed coffee, instant coffee and decaffeinated coffee are a subset of all coffee. For example, the NCDT now asks if a cappuccino is instant or brewed. Previously this was asked only for traditional coffee.

* The NCDT, beginning in 2012, includes a representative sample of Hispanic-Americans and African-Americans. Comparisons to years prior to 2012 must be made with caution, since the panel enhancement dictates technically that tracking be viewed as directional only.

NOTE: Starting in 2010, data collection was completed online instead of bytelephone. In 2008 and 2009, data was collected separately by telephone andonline; the numbers on the chart are from the online survey in order to promotedirect forward tracking from 2010 on.
