Over 12 billion litres of coffee are consumed in Germany each year. This is almost the equivalent of the Ennepetalsperre reservoir in the south-eastern Ruhr valley. The millions of people who enjoy MILCAFEA drinks have done their bit – or should we say ‘drunk their bit’ – to rack up this impressive number, consuming around 150 litres per head.
