Consumption of coffee has recently become a trend as young adults in China increasingly drink coffee as part of their daily life. Coffee culture in China is rather unique, it isn't consumed as a staple like in other cultures. At one point, drinking coffee is considered a luxury and a leisure activity in China whereas it's just a normal beverage for foreigners. In contrary to black coffee, coffee drinks like Mocha and Latte are the popular ones among young people. Therefore, cafés like Starbucks and Costa tend to do well in China.
So who drinks more coffee than the Chinese in China?Of course, it's the foreigners. In my school, the international students always want to have their coffee on the go. Oh yes, you can smell coffee in class if someone brings it. So one of the ways is to get it from the coffee vending machine.
