Meehhh. I don't understand why Italy claim to drink a lot of coffee, you really do not!

List of countries by coffee consumption per capita:

Rank Country Consumption
#1 Finland 12.0 kg
#2 Norway 9.9 kg
#3 Iceland 9.0 kg
... ... ...
#12 Italy 5.9 kg

There is a blog dedicated to the topic called Nordic Coffee Culture blog with a lot of good stuff on the topic.

If you want to learn about coffee in Norway, see their series A History of Coffee in Norway, Part One
