Meanwhile, recent studies suggest that coffee may support healthy aging in women, though adding cream and sugar can significantly increase calorie intake.
Coffee prices are also on the rise. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average cost of a pound of ground roast coffee reached $8.87 in August — a 40% increase from $6.31 a year earlier — driven by weather-related challenges and tariffs. “Coffee’s staying power as a beloved touchstone in Americans’ daily lives is remarkable, and its contributions to our health and our economy give Americans even more ‘grounds for celebration’ this National Coffee Day and every day,” said National Coffee Association president and CEO Bill Murray.
