It's a very strange price point - "Utility Coffee" like Dunkin or Tim's is usually around $2 for a medium, but "Specialty Coffee" like Starbucks or local cafes is $5 to $8. I'm not sure where they got their data, or what they qualified as "coffee" for this. The omission of the UK in their data is also quite strange.

I suspect based on the graphics that they're orienting this more towards the "specialty coffee" subtype, and getting this information from a supplier network rather than any sort of broad data "census".
