Is this article correct?

> Interestingly, the list also includes non-traditional coffee-consuming countries such as Lebanon and Brazil, which could be attributed to the global spread of coffee-related business and culture

Really? Both Brazil and Lebanon are traditional coffee consuming countries. Brazil in particular is the largest producer of coffee in the world and coffee is everywhere, since pretty much forever.

This just made me think am I missing something? Brazil is a huge coffee producer and Lebanon as an Arab country must have been exposed to coffee ages ago.

Also, I don't see any questioning of Luxembourg stats. Almost six cups per capita cannot sound right, the country size must have skewed the results.

All in all, casts doubt on the rest of the article.

It is a content marketing post, so I don’t expect it to be correct, even if I couldn’t find anything blatantly wrong from my knowledge.
